"Bulimba" - Magnificent Character Home circa 1870's on Flat 1.5 Acres in Sassafras

Originally part of the beautiful Burnham Beeches Estate, this character-rich home is timeless in its appeal and elegant within its surroundings.<br/>The home features multiple living zones complemented by alfresco spaces that are exquisitely enveloped by 1.5 flat acres of Alfred Nicholas inspired gardens adding to the magical appeal. A traditional bullnose verandah makes a period statement, and the allure continues with ceiling roses, hardwood floors, leadlight and picture windows throughout, framing glorious garden vistas.<br/>A classic French door entrance opens into an endearing library space where fireside reading will become a rainy day favourite.<br/>The fully equipped kitchen with bright garden window is contemporised by the timber-topped island bench with breakfast bar, stainless-steel cooking and Bosch dishwasher. <br/>A grand dining room steps back in time to when meals were served with the finest of the silverware whilst a lounge is warmed by an open fire and framed by bay picture windows with plenty of space for the roomiest of sofas. <br/>The master bedroom features an ensuite and walk-in robe whilst three additional bedrooms plus study are housed in a rear wing along with a step-down living/rumpus that spills to the lavish deck. A sublime family bathroom recently renovated, showcases floor to ceiling tiles, a deluxe rain shower and a reimagined leadlight feature window showcasing the home’s name listed on the title – “Bulimba”.<br/>Ducted heating and evaporative cooling take care of all the seasons, however there are also three wood fires to create warmth and ambience.<br/>The gardens are breathtaking and wondrous from magical mist before the sun appears to moss pathways, towering tree ferns and a rare ginkgo tree. Enchanting canopies lead to open “garden rooms” where backyard cricket beckons or where you can picnic in privacy or host a modern-day soiree.
