More Than Meets The Eye

Description

At first glance observers might mistake this sprawling home as being simple in design, the style often referred to by authors as being of the Californian Bungalow type, representative of the post World War I, pre Great Depression era. Do yourself a favour and make a personal inspection of the dwelling because there’s more than meets the eye.

As you walk down the driveway to the rear of the dwelling, two things will strike you; firstly, the enormity of the the lot’s size. At 2,935sqm it’s just a tad under three quarters of an acre - gigantic by today’s standards. Secondly, that the dwelling has multiple levels affording the luxury of space and versatility for allocation of rooms.

It’s a timber framed, weatherboard clad residence with new-ish looking Zincalume room and verandahs all around.

The ground floor starts with the front entrance and long passageway giving access to three bedrooms and roomy lounge with open fireplace and French window to side verandah. Bedroom 2 also has an open fireplace, Bedroom 3 has a French window too.

Steps at the end of the passage lead upwards to a mezzanine level where you’ll find linen press cupboards, bathroom, toilet, 4th bedroom and a two compartment home office. By two compartments we mean that it has two door-ways to the mezzanine and two French windows to the rear verandah where fabulous views of distant Mount Ommanney are had. If you need more rooms, simply reconstruct a stud-wall to shorten the office and create a 5th bedroom.

A staircase from the mezzanine area leads to the lower-ground area; a big open plan kitchen/meals/family area with loads of paned windows and authentic Jarrah framed French windows to the rear yard space. The laundry and another toilet are at this level. There’s a cosy slow combustion wood fired stove and room heater. Another set of French windows allows easy exit from the family/laundry area to the below ground swimming pool - fully fenced and paved and screened with natural plants.

There are multiple air conditioning units throughout the house, the cost of operation easily offset by the large solar PV installation.

There’s a carport with really high roof truss. No need to worry whether your 4WD with loaded roof rack or off-road caravan will fit below. There’s also a large workshop, appears to be about 12 x 8m with two lock-up roller doors and another solar PV array.
