UNDER OFFER – Sidhe" – Dwelling of the fairy people!
Architecturally designed by Lawrence Huxley, this unique artisan’s home is set high above Railway Avenue, only 200m from the centre of Bundanoon and enjoys northerly district views from its full passive solar orientation.
You enter this unique home via bespoke double tongue and groove doors with hand black-smithed hinges and door handles leading to a character entry hall and onto the central open plan kitchen/dining/living room with high raked feature and custom orb ceilings. Polished cypress pine floors, a deep light, well handpainted (aboriginal serpent) door, Zanusi commercial oven, stainless steel benches and large stone topped island bench. This delightful room opens to the north onto an elevated tiled balcony overlooking the northern courtyard, through full width glass sliding doors, and to the south via a timber deck to a private lawn area with fire pit, brick BBQ and woodshed. On this level there are 4 good sized bedrooms, 2 with built-in robes, a main bathroom with separate shower and bath, and a big laundry with extra toilet.
Above the main living room is a versatile fully lined loft room accessed via a handmade hinged staircase that can be raised when not in use. This room would make a great office or retreat, has full height ceilings and broad views from high windows on the north and south walls.
The basement features a large very sunny north facing rumpus room which has been set up as a bread maker’s workshop, with the bonus of a small second kitchen with stainless steel sink, gas hob and wall oven, a small but functional bathroom, large single garage and dry underfloor storage area.
A private sundrenched courtyard is nestled between the rumpus room and the separate fully lined single garage/studio with power and phone. There is an inground bread oven with bespoke cantilevered lid, raised garden beds and trellis fencing.
The front gardens are terraced with a series of adobe garden walls and brick paved pathways and steps. Veggie, herb and flower gardens are companion planted; there are fruit trees and even a chook pen.
The home is fully insulated, has gas ducted and zoned central heating, 1.5 kilowatts of photovoltaic cells to subsidise the power bills. For the past 3 years it has been successfully run as a holiday let through Stayz. Energy efficient and full of individual character, this home will appeal to those looking for something special!!
