An extraordinarily rural haven close to Somerville town centre, this custom-designed storybook style home weds a romantic French-farmhouse aesthetic with a selection of contemporary country accoutrements on 1.5 acres (approx) of park-like gardens including a self-contained loft apartment and tavern separately in the American-style barn.
Set amid an array of fruit trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, mulberries and silver birches, the captivating three-bedroom main residence impresses with recycled jarrah floorboards, dado wall panelled, dormer ceilings and striking architectural angles, which reach a fever pitch in the expansive open-concept living and dining room beneath a soaring ceiling.
A second living zone on the mezzanine offers a wonderful parents retreat or home office spilling off the master bedroom, with its accompanying modern ensuite.
The Tasmanian oak kitchen is superbly appointed with an integrated Miele dishwasher, gas cooktop, wall oven, farmhouse sink and long reclaimed-jarrah island, while sliding glass doors open to an entertainers outdoor oasis with expansive decking, barbecue kitchen and firepit zone with built-in bench seating.
A stroll through the wisteria-laced arbour reveals an 85-year-old cedar barn that has been cleverly converted into a one-bedroom granny flat loft apartment with modernised ensuite, kitchenette and balcony on the upper level and a huge tavern-style games room on the lower level with an additional bathroom and gym / fifth bedroom with external access.
The perfect package for large or extended families or those seeking a lucrative potential side-income stream by renting out the self-contained loft apartment above the barn, the property includes a double carport, machinery bay and workshop in walking distance to Somerville Central and cycling distance to schools.
