Privately elevated above open countryside on just over one hectare (1.0154ha / 2.51 acres), this thoughtfully transformed character residence carries its era with confidence. Warm Tawa floors and honest materiality have been preserved alongside a high-stud extension that lifts light and scale in equal measure. The overall effect is a home that feels grounded but at the same time genuinely generous.
At the centre of it all is a kitchen designed around the way people actually cook and entertain. Smeg induction hob, ASKO Volcano gas burner, double width Smeg oven, Falmec rangehood / air purification system and a substantial stone island with marble accents that becomes the natural anchor for everything from school mornings to Saturday evenings. The kitchen opens directly to the covered deck where rural views stretching to the hills make a compelling case for being outside as often as possible.
Multiple living zones give the layout its flexibility. A high stud (3 meters) family room offers quieter retreat with its own butler’s pantry or hidden bar area, while the separate games room with polished concrete floors operates entirely on its own terms with natural flow through the outdoors.
Four bedrooms are well separated from the social areas, with two bathrooms renovated with precision: marble look tiles, rainfall shower, double vanity. The generous laundry doubles as a home office, a practical detail that reveals considered thinking throughout.
Step outside and the property earns its keep in full. A spa pool, swimming pool, manicured lawn and covered pergola with festoon lighting create a seamless sequence from relaxed afternoon to long summer evening. The elevated aspect frames countryside views from many vantage points while established gardens offer privacy.
Comfort has been approached with the same rigour as the aesthetics. Full insulation, ducted gas dual-zone heating, air purification and acoustic upgrades throughout. This is a home that has been properly looked after and properly thought through, ready to be equally enjoyed.
