Artist In Residence

Surrounded by tall trees, native gardens and bushland, this architecturally designed home is nestled beautifully on a large 1.17 acres in the peaceful Amber Valley Estate.
The vision of an artistic couple wanting a serene location to call home as well as a space to create, surrounded only by the calmness of nature and birdsong. This home brings something special to the Balingup market.

A tranquil native setting unfolds as you enter via the tree lined driveway with a stand of established trees welcoming your arrival. Entrance to the home is via the expansive, under cover front decking where you are greeted by the large, central living area which is bathed in natural light.
To the right, the sumptuous kitchen enjoys abundant storage, double door fridge recess, dishwasher, expansive breakfast bar for casual dining and plenty of room for the dining table to enjoy the garden views. From there you will find the main bathroom and study nook, leading to the opulent lounge room, complete with built in storage, wall to wall carpet and recessed television port. Let the sound of nature in through the sliding doors connecting you directly to outside.

The Studio:
To the left you will find the studio, an expansive room warmed by the slow combustion fire and with a convenient wet/washup area. This is the perfect area to take time to yourself to create and is adjacent to the central lobby which would provide the gallery space to exhibit works to the public with ample parking outside. This area also houses a modest second bathroom with toilet and shower.
Continue through to the main bedroom - a calming space with elegant drapes, reverse cycle unit for seasonal comfort and a soothing bay window in which to sit and read and catch the afternoon sun.

Features Outside The Home:
A separate, powered studio is attached to the lock up garage which would serve well as accommodation for guests or a second space to create.
Outdoor bathroom with toilet and shower - perfect for those grubby days in the garden.
Free standing double car port and circular driveway for easy access.
Greenhouse and wood sheds.
