From the moment you venture up the grand tree-lined drive of this Sir Ewan Waterman architecturally designed 1931-built sandstone home on a whopping 16.5 acres of enchanting land, you know that the destination is going to be as special as the journey.
Framed by that epic entrance, the flawless double fronted façade drenched in Carey Gully sandstone is just the start of a cocktail of pristine period charm and carefully selected modernity that seems to never end in a light-filled interior boasting unhindered freedom and a full-scale upgrade with the highest quality and no expense spared. And we mean NO expense.
Enter to greet the original polished Jarrah floors and lofty ceilings of an entrance hall, huge master bedroom and the first expansive living space at your beckon call: a formal dining room that looks straight back down the drive towards the 13th tee of the Echunga Golf Course. Enjoy the view and a meal by the slow combustion fire before moving to the adjacent formal lounge for a glass of wine, all the while admiring even the subtle (yet expensive) upgrades that typify one of the more prolific renovations you will ever see!
Keep moving to unveil the home's crescendo of style: a brand new kitchen by 'Urban Kitchens and Bathrooms' boasting Caesarstone benches, sparkling glass splash backs and a wide range of Miele stainless steel appliances. The adjacent custom-built study nook shares the same quality as the inspired addition to this chef's paradise.
Then it all opens right up at the rear where a light-filled living room lined in heated Italian tiles looks over the newly appointed sandstone-paved alfresco entertaining area - the gateway to epic grounds boasting two paddocks, an old dairy, chook yard, dog run, triple garage, 5-bay farm shed, original car shed and a crisply reappointed studio that is large enough to happily host a billiard table. The last stop in an epic home with a brand new lease on life.
