STUNNING HOMESTEAD ON THE EDGE OF WELLSFORD FOREST
Sitting pretty on 17 acres amongst native trees, on the edge of the Wellsford Forest, is this stunning two-storey homestead. With a wide verandah wrapping around the entire property, the home is the perfect blend of modern conveniences and country charm offering the ideal home for a family seeking the best of country life and city services.
The stunning brick façade sets the scene of the grandeur to be enjoyed indoors, but quality details such as 9-foot ceilings, timber-lined walls and ceilings, dado boards and French doors opening out to the verandah both upstairs and down can be found when you step inside.
The main doors open into a huge lounge room and this space leads in two areas to a central hallway with a wide staircase at both ends. To one side of the lounge is a study alongside a huge laundry. The laundry also serves as a shower room and provides plenty of storage space as well as a door to the yard and a separate toilet. Off the central hallway is a second lounge room with a cosy wood fire and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a beautiful outlook over the land. The contemporary country-style kitchen is positioned on the other side of the ground floor with character details such as a reclaimed exposed brick island bench, black and white floor tiles and clever storage including a walk-in pantry and separate coffee station.
At the top of the stairs are the bedrooms – four generously proportioned rooms, all with built-in robes, along with a spacious master suite. The master has a walk-in robe and ensuite, as well as a sliding door opening out to the balcony. At the top of each staircase are French doors, also opening to the outdoors. Completing the internal design is a large family bathroom with timber vanity, classic styling and a separate toilet.
With access to the outdoors throughout the home – both upstairs and down – there is also a glass sliding door from the kitchen and dining room leading out to an undercover alfresco dining space that overlooks the dam. From the upper level of the home, beautiful views over the forest and the allotment can be enjoyed from the timber balcony on all sides.
