This stunning unique 1985 hills home was designed by architect Lynthorne Matthews. Set on a sloping hill in the foothills of the Darling Ranges this brick, stone and timber house takes advantage of the spectacular views of the Helena Valley, Gooseberry Hill and the city on the horizon. This is a split level home featuring high ceilings, exposed timbers and rafters, and open face brick. Large panels of glass, sliding doors and windows provide views of the hills from every room.
Architect Matthews designed this house to work in harmony with the natural landscape. The great room that sits in its centre features a huge granite boulder together with an impressive conversation pit that envelopes the magnificent stone open fireplace. This room leads out to the rest of the house in all directions, including a deck on one side, the west facing balcony to another, the master bedroom and the laundry which leads to the carport.
The master bedroom has views of the valley and city and contains a walk through robe that leads into the ensuite bathroom. A glass sliding door leads out onto the balcony where you can watch the sun set to the west from the balcony or while sitting in the 6-person sunken spa.
Upstairs there are three large rooms with huge raking ceilings, a powder room and a bathroom. Two of the rooms open out onto a private west facing balcony with stunning views. The third room is located on the east side of the house and has been used as a consultation room and dispensary and makes the perfect home office.
Coming down the stairs, the main entry door is passed and the kitchen and dining room are on the left. Continuing down a short flight of stairs is the pot belly room used for many purposes over the years. These rooms lead out onto the paved and shady area where there is a gazebo, terraced vegetable/herb garden, small pond and fruit trees.
Heating and cooling is provided through 6 powerful reverse-cycle air conditioners, 3 ceiling fans, an open fire place and pot belly stove. Window coverings are a mix of thick curtains, solar blinds and white timber plantation shutters. A photovoltaic solar system has been installed.
Set at tree height you live amongst the birds, visited daily by kookaburras, magpies, butcher birds, ravens and pee wees. Foraging in the garden you will find cute little western brown bandicoots. There are beautiful expanses of sir walter buffalo grassed areas, under the shade of magnificent trees.
All gardens and lawns are fully reticulated and on an automatic timer, which can be controlled with a smart phone.
