Contemporary versus classic
THIS amazing character contemporary home is positioned across the road from Lake Dunstan, where the two rivers meet and where the Old Cromwell precinct is located.
On a large corner double section, this stone home sat rather derelict until 2015, when the current owners purchased the property. The new owners’ vision was a stylish home that would be suitable for a family, and to restore the house to its former glory — this has been done magnificently.
This home is completely unique in its character — a stone home with thick stone walls, and now a modern but sympathetic addition with lots of added features, butler’s pantry, office nook, underfloor heating, Masport fire, plumbed for heatpump, fully fenced, and an irrigation system.
The original stone part of the home boasts four substantial bedrooms, master with walk-through wardrobe and fully tiled ensuite, a separate formal lounge (or fifth bedroom), and a large fully tiled family bathroom. The high ceilings throughout maintain the feeling of grandeur that a home of this era enjoyed.
Walk through to the large modern light-filled 125sq m extension, where open-plan living harmoniously blends the practicality of space. A kitchen any chef would be delighted with, dining space with feature lighting, and another large family lounge. Retractable glass doors opening to three separate decked outdoor spaces, including an internal courtyard with its own raised garden-bed.
Positioned to enjoy all-day sun, this 272sq m home sits proudly on a large 1789sq m site.
This property also has subdivision potential without detracting from the home.
