Owner-built and created by a craftsman, this wonderful house has period influences throughout, including ornate plasterwork, painted deep cornices, rich timber dado walls, corbelled arches and parquetry floorboards. But it’s also a modern abode, with a terrific kitchen sporting an abundance of timber cabinetry, granite benchtops and stainless-steel 900mm cooker, rangehood and dishwasher; it’s next to a large familly-meals area with wood heater. The lounge room is an elegant affair and an upstairs rumpus/theatre room is joined by a powder room. There are three large bedrooms with wardrobes, two custom-fitted bathrooms and a dedicated home office. Top-notch fittings, fixtures and soft furnishings are included. A garage/workshop of about 20 squares can accommodate at least 10 cars, and an open pergola above a timber deck is just the spot to relax amid beautifully landscaped gardens.
