This magnificent country estate sits on over 20 acres, with up to 7 bedrooms over 2 levels. Built to suit large families, those who love to entertain or anyone with an eye for grandeur! Upstairs, an enormous country-style eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream with a Miele dishwasher, stainless steel AEG microwave and self-cleaning oven, oak cabinets and Corian bench tops. The formal lounge is similarly grand, with exposed beams and built in fireplace. Both open to the wrap around verandah, where you can gaze out at sweeping country vistas. There are up to 5 bedrooms upstairs, the main with ensuite and WIR, plus second full bathroom, laundry and 2 WCs. A large bedroom/media room has a separate entrance - ideal for guests who want a little extra privacy! Downstairs, an enormous games room/6th bedroom is the perfect teen retreat, with a 7th bedroom, store room or study all serviced by a generous powder room. There's ample space to convert it to a self-contained granny flat (STCC) and make this home even more flexible. This gorgeous home draws inspiration from nature, with high end quality finishes including western red cedar, jarrah and oak. Curl up in front of the combustion heater in the family room, or warm yourself by one of the beautiful fireplaces. The wooded acres offer plenty of firewood to keep the home toasty and warm. There are plenty of native wildlife visitors: look for kangaroos at sunset and a wide variety of birds all year round.
