Secure a significant architecturally designed timber home immersed in nature in the tightly-held private community along Sheoak Road with sensational views and the quiet of the scrub as your primary neighbours in Crafers West.
Designed in collaboration with the architect by owner and renowned Australian glass artist Gerry King, the 80's four-bedroom home comes complete with the artist's angular art studio on an expansive approx. ten acre property that begins at Sheoak Road and includes Brownhill Creek in the valley below.
Arrive at the bottom of the driveway to park in front of the artist's studio and follow the new staircase to the home, where an incredible brand new Merbau deck extends north to the horizon. It's so easy to imagine placing your outdoor lounge or dining setting here and looking forward to nightly sunsets and aperitifs with an impeccable private view over the trees.
Stepping indoors onto the polished pine floors of the central living level, note that all the main windows face north too, grounding your home life in your natural surroundings. Find slow combustion heaters to both the lounge and dining room, which flank a central timber kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, a large pantry and breakfast bars to both sides, creating casual everyday perches.
Upstairs, the two original bedrooms expand under timber raked ceilings. The expansive main bedroom enjoys garden views, louvre windows, raised ceilings and high windows, with lots of built-in storage. Next door, bedroom two includes a loft bed and more lovely louvres.
A newly added lower level deeply roots the home in the landscape and adds two more bedrooms, a sparkling new bathroom and another open plan living complete with a kitchenette to form a self-sufficient level ideal for families and multi-generational households - or perhaps forming a secondary income. Subject to council building approvals.
Offering an open plan living space consisting of a modern kitchenette with induction, rangehood and dishwasher, a tiled dining, and a beautiful second living space with great windows overlooking the trees and a fabulous adjacent patio, it's wonderfully connected to the great outdoors. The lovely new main bathroom includes a large shower, feature raised vanity, louvre windows and a separate toilet.
Utterly unique and carefully maintained and extended, carry on the torch in the custodianship of the much-loved home of a celebrated Australian artist with a tranquil existence of your own in Crafers West.
