Surrounded by nature, on a 6894m2 beautiful bush block, is this very private home with panoramic mountain views. With three large outdoor decks, all with magnificent views, this home is made for the nature-lover who wants to get away from it all, yet all the facilities of Nelly Bay - shops, ferry terminal, restaurants, medical centres, post office etc are just a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk away.
Built in 2001 by a well-respected local builder, the home boasts some unique features from its stylish curved ceiling with exposed beams to the hand-fused glass tiles in the upstairs bathroom and the colourful kitchen. A long sweeping driveway brings you past the tropical gardens to the home perched at the top of the block. The elevation allows for the predominant south-easterly and northerly breezes to be captured perfectly, with excellent use of louvres all round making the home a delightful retreat, even in summer.
Enter up the pathway, past the pretty pond, through the solid wood front door into the entry hall and the smart wooden staircase with hand-carved balustrades takes you upstairs to the open-plan living area with its beautiful polished wood floors, soaring ceilings, opening at the far end to a 31m2 open deck and to the side a 29m2 screened covered verandah. In wet season, listen to water flowing over the rounded granite boulders in the creek below and with private swimming holes, who needs a pool!
Kauri wood benchtops in the kitchen work in harmony with practical stainless steel around the double sink and gas cooktop. There's plenty of storage space with a large corner pantry and lots of drawers painted with colourful tropical hibiscus, as well as a dishwasher for those who can't live without one.
Indoor and outdoor living blend perfectly here and there are so many options to choose from when deciding where to dine, lounge around or have a quiet cup of tea with a good book. There are two bedrooms upstairs, the air-conditioned master is a generous size with a small balcony and those magnificent mountain views once again. The bathroom is absolutely unique with hand-fused glass tiles a real feature, adorning the bath and walk-in shower and a statement glass vanity completing the room.
A second bathroom downstairs also contains the laundry and is located just off the entry hall as is an air-conditioned study/5th bedroom which opens onto the downstairs 22m2 verandah. A further two large rooms and a storeroom are tucked away downstairs behind a grand set of carved wooden doors, both opening onto the verandah and which are ideal for use as an artist's studio, additional bedrooms, or which could very easily be made into a completely self-contained granny flat.
With a separate entrance just left of the front door is a good-sized studio/workshop which could be a used for a home-based business when you don't want clients to come into your home.
The gardens are extensive with little walkways and a large paved area leading down to the creek with so much potential for a spectacular tropical oasis or keep it more natural with lots of low maintenance natives. Tucked away in Hideaway Estate, you will be in your own private paradise, yet comfortable with the knowledge that you have some delightful long-term owner-occupiers as neighbours.
