Grand country home on the fringe of town
With its coveted address on the south side of Warragul, this impressive residence stands proudly amongst its prestige neighbours.
Set back from the road behind majestic trees and parklike grounds, there is a feeling of peace and tranquillity with the utmost privacy also a key factor. Although grand in stature, the much loved family home exudes warmth and welcome from the appealing, country exterior to the inviting interior with exposed timbers and brickwork complemented with a freshly painted neutral colour scheme. Lofty cathedral ceilings add to the sense of space whilst large Colonial style windows throughout maximise the natural light and lovely garden views. Positioned on a 4,899m2 allotment (approximately 1.2 acres) the five bedroom, three bathroom layout spans two levels with loads of space for family activities and more formal entertaining. The ground floor comprises four of
the generous size bedrooms, including the main bedroom with an ensuite, formal dining room and sitting room, a spacious family living area, refurbished kitchen, updated family bathroom, separate toilet and a utilities room. A large games or rumpus room with a built-in bar, bedroom five including an ensuite plus under roof storage are found on the second level. Outdoor entertaining is well catered for with an extensive paved terrace at the rear and private pockets throughout the grounds under the shade of mature trees. Level lawn at the rear of the property is perfect for backyard cricket or to kick a footy. Further improvements include a remote controlled garage URL, visitor parking, a 9m x 5m steel storage shed, water tanks plus town water connection. A horseshoe drive, winding its way to the front of the home, allows safe and easy access. An impressive full height foyer greets visitors to the residence and leads through to the kitchen and family living area. Renewed floor tiles are a modern as well as practical choice throughout this much used space.
White gloss kitchen cabinetry, stone counter tops and a glass splashback are a stylish update, together with new appliances including Electrolux dual wall ovens, a five burner gas cooktop and a Glem dishwasher. Numerous drawers, a small appliance cupboard and a walkin pantry, created under the stairs, allow an abundance of storage.
A pull out timber work bench is a clever feature creating additional preparation space. Timber highlights in the cabinetry and servery add an organic element and provide a visual link to the architectural aspects in the living area. Skylights in the family room channel further light into the interior, whilst two sets of sliding glass doors from the family room lead to the rear terrace. Behind the kitchen is the formal dining room with access to the garden and the adjoining formal sitting room, a cosy room with a brick fire place, built-in bar and a large window framing the leafy outlook. From the meals area a corridor links the bedrooms, bathroom and the utilities room with a separate toilet. A free standing bath, semi-frameless shower and a large vanity unit are featured in the stylish, revamped bathroom. Built-in robes are found in the three secondary bedrooms, a walk-in robe is included in the main bedroom and there is a double linen press and new cabinetry in the utilities room. One of the secondary bedrooms has direct outside access, a convenient feature if working from home or for older family members seeking independent entry.
Stairs from the foyer lead to the second level. Timber also features here with polished flooring, stained dado, a lined ceiling and large beams creating a more relaxed ambience. Partially open to the ground floor and with a large clerestory window, this living area feels light and airy. Split system air conditioners and a ceiling fan in both the living area and the bedroom on this level maintain climate comfort. Gas heating and a ceiling fan in the family room, external blinds on the west face, quality window coverings, light fittings and carpets in the formal living areas and bedrooms are further features.
