Sea Change Calling
After living in this secluded retreat at sought-after Mt Crosby for more than a decade, a sea change is now calling for my owners and they are heading south to be closer to children and grandchildren. So subsequently Ambleside' is now available to the market.
What sets this one apart from the rest is without doubt the recent addition of a fully approved, fully self contained guest house just metres from the main home. Possum Place', as it has been named , is a stunning, master-built extension complete with a spacious bedroom, screened veranda, family room with woodheater, bathroom and kitchen. High ceilings, spotted gum timber flooring and timber-framed sliding doors are among the dwelling's attractive features. Plans for the guesthouse include a future pool to adjoin the veranda.
The original, well-maintained home has ducted air-conditioning, a cosy open fireplace in the family room and full security screens. Every room has a bush outlook. The long rear veranda, perfect for entertaining, overlooks the entire sloping block. The home includes comfortable dining, living and family areas, with ceiling fans throughout. A big walk-in robe, quality ensuite and outside spa area enhance the master bedroom.
A double lock-up garage is equipped with electronic doors. Ample storage space is available in the two-bay powered workshop, and two other garden sheds. Two rainwater tanks, one above-ground and another below ground, capture 50,000 litres of water and circulate to most parts of the property with quality pumping systems. Solar panels on the guesthouse roof feed power back to the grid.
You have to see this property to fully appreciate its qualities.
