A treasured and storied slice of Hills history, 'The Gate House' enters a new chapter with the only kind of classy top-to-toe transformation that does justice to its unhindered valley views, seductive sunrises and award-winning gardens on royaleseque 3938 sqm grounds.
Worthy of a magazine spread, that transformation – a four-year labour of love for the style-savvy current owners – includes a stylishly sympathetic reinvigoration of a 1925-built home that was once the lodge of the heritage-listed 'Broadlees Estate', and a 90's extension that spawned an inspired master wing.
The end result:
A masterpiece. A 3 bedroom, plus study home that draws its magnetic, light-filled energy from the award-winning conservatory at its heart; the east-facing gateway to a stunning covered entertainers platform, the pink hue of those sunrises, professionally landscaped gardens and meandering pathways below, and elevated valley views over Stirling to the Mount Barker foot hills beyond.
The natural light reveals the perfection of the premium and carefully sourced fixtures and finishes at every turn…
Take note of the imported Copper Lappato tile floors and stone-masoned fireplace of the conservatory that also backs onto a peaceful courtyard.
Master your culinary pursuits in a semi open-plan kitchen boasting seamless polished Carrara Marble countertops, subway tile splashbacks and high-end stainless steel appliances, headlined by a Ilve 900mm oven.
Admire the Jarrah floors and Huon window joinery that sing loudest in the dining room, show-stealing master suite with magnificent private valley views, and a formal lounge with fireplace and French door access to the courtyard and built-in BBQ on its doorstep.
Enviable guests arrive for that first party…with their jaws on the ground. Welcome to perfection in the Hills and the history to match.
