Offered for the first time by its owners, the custom-built Federation-style home has a timeless country appeal, with a host of unique features that have to be seen to be believed. The geometric-inspired beauty of the formal sitting room will take your breath away, with its octagonal-shaped design, meticulously laid spotted gum timber and plush cream carpet flooring. The room is one of the true showpieces of this magnificent home, with a double coffered ceiling, ornate cornices, stepped high skirting boards, dado rails and a decorative French-inspired pendant light adding a touch of extra elegance, while the ornate timber fireplace with inbuilt slow combustion wood fire ensures it still feels warm and welcoming. Timber-framed French doors open out to the wide wraparound verandah while four double hung windows flood the room with natural light, which work together to create a panoramic vista of the surrounding bush landscape. This home's design ensures much of the interior feels connected to the outdoors, with an abundance of large double hung windows making the rooms feel bright and airy, while numerous sets of French doors provide direct access to the verandah from the formal lounge room, open plan family room and casual meals area, as well as three sets in the expansive master suite. The main bedroom offers a true oasis for parents to retreat to, with an abundance of space for a bedroom setting and sitting area, as well as a walk-in dressing room and wardrobe, and a luxuriously-appointed ensuite complete with corner spa bath. The ensuite, main family bathroom and powder room have all been beautifully styled with a mix of country elegance and premium fittings, including floor-to-ceiling imported Italian tiles and Federation-style timber vanities. Meticulous detailing is also apparent in the home's three remaining bedrooms, which are all generously-proportioned and feature built-in wardrobes, dado rails, decorative cornices and antique-style ceiling fans with triple light fittings. The period-style details and higher ceilings have been carried right throughout the home to enhance its Federation feel, while an extensive use of timber, including polished spotted gum flooring, adds warmth and texture to the overall timeless country style. Blackwood custom timber cabinetry ensures the kitchen fits perfectly into the mould of a traditional country homestead, while 40mm granite return benchtops and premium stainless steel appliances including a hearty 900mm electric dual stove give it a touch of luxury. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home's expansive selection of living areas, flowing into an open plan family room and casual meals area. A separate dining room, library or study, the formal sitting room and formal lounge room ensure large families will never be short on space to relax or entertain, with television connections in all the living rooms and bedrooms. Verandahs run along both the front and back of the house, providing endless shady spots to relax and enjoy the outlook, while a covered outdoor area linking the home to the detached double garage extends your year-round entertaining spaces. The oversized garage includes a workshop space, kitchenette and third bathroom, making it the ideal place to clean up after working in the yard. Enjoy tending to your sandstone block garden beds and extensive landscaped grounds, flourishing with everything from bottlebrush and agapanthus, to neatly trimmed murraya hedges, the purple flowering splendour of jacaranda trees and the sweet fragrance of gardenia bushes. When you feel the need to leave your tranquil country retreat, you'll find the conveniences of larger urban centres are not that far away, with the Wallalong property located less than 20 minutes from the bustling centres of Raymond Terrace and Heatherbrae with their convenient mix of retail, commercial, educational, health and light industrial precincts, while a 15 minute drive will take you to the retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills.
