ARCHITECTURAL GEM IN THE COUNTRY

Acreage Semi-rural Sold - Ohariu Valley Wellington

Elegant mid-century style house set in beautifully established gardens on a 5 acre block. Designed by Alistair Luke (Jasmax) and completed in 2010, this award winning home is reminiscent of Alvar Aalto, with rich timber interiors, stone flooring, and gentle level changes between light filled zones. Well sheltered and completely private from the road, with tennis court, swimming pool, triple garage and guesthouse, this property is the rare combination of refined and tasteful architecture, with mature trees and garden. Just 6.6km from Johnsonville, 20 minutes from the CBD and on the school bus route.

Inside, timber linings throughout reinforce a sense of unpretentious luxury, while jarrah framed double glazing delivers artfully framed views of the surroundings. The galley kitchen and dining area open directly out to a stone patio and the inner garden lawn. Step down into the cosy living room with wood burner, reading nook, timber shutters, and finely detailed ceiling, where another set of views draws in the garden. Above the living area is a large mezzanine that can be used as a library, office or den. A light filled gallery leads to the bedroom wing with three double bedrooms, two with mezzanines, and two well appointed bathrooms.

Set in its own private section of the property is a gorgeous two bedroomed timber guesthouse, with full height sliding doors opening to the sun. There are numerous sheds, enclosed vegetable cages, and a sheltering grow tunnel, with quince apple and pear trees and a berry patch completing the productive garden.
