Splendour in the garden! Post war split-level weatherboard with River Views
For those who are environmentally conscious, a fabulous garden on an extensive allotment (2514m) will have appeal. Untold hours of labour with value added in terms of infrastructure have culminated in creating a superb garden which is both productive and ornamental. There is a feeling of being removed from suburbia and 'lost' in the middle of a rain forest. The landscaping has been a labour of love over 25 years of careful forethought and planning. Attractive treated pine and wire enclosures house a variety of fruit trees including Apples, Tamarillo's, Fejoas, Lemons, Nectarines, Mulberries as well as seasonal vegetables all supported by over 10,000 gallons of water storage and an automatic watering system. The garden is now so well organised and established it is surprisingly maintenance free, a haven for small children, pets and wildlife. There are pretty River vistas from both levels. One can enjoy absolute privacy with the garden effectively screening neighbours from around the house's centrally elevated position on the property. A series of 'maze like' stone paths, fenced walkways and steps/terraces of Victorian blue stone surround the house. An inviting leafy entrance borders a rivulet, the driveway winds its way to a double carport and paved terrace lined with ferns. Easy level access is through sliding glass doors to a sky-lit kitchen with a granite bench top. Open plan split level living take in views of the River punctuated by native saplings. There are 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms (one an en suite.) Alfresco dining may be enjoyed from a variety of aspects depending on sun and mood. Timber decks wrap around the house and can be found in the grounds. Children have been catered for as well - a cubby house, sandpit, tyre swing and slide will keep them amused for hours. Schooling, transport and Lower Sandy Bay is close by, lovely beaches are also within easy reach.
