6 Dunmore Road, Largs
Property Details
Hearing first the wind rustling through the palms and the laughing kookaburras, visitors cannot help but be impressed by the private entryway, beyond the expansive front lawn, that has the feel of a tropical resort.
On entering the home, segmented wings show how privacy and intimacy can be achieved in such a large home, with bedrooms separated from expansive living areas that are situated to soak up the northern sun. Truly eclectic, this charming home is the perfect combination of culture, character and cosy textures.
When the current owners look around, it’s not the furniture, finishes and timber floors they see, but the cherished memories – Christmas mornings in the sun-drenched living room; sleepovers with kids sprawling about; long languid Sundays with the papers by the pool. In fact, the owners were married here, such is the capacity for this home to entertain!
The kitchen is the heart of the home – a stylish blend of stone and natural tones, with a true butler’s pantry that sees plenty of action in this busy household; it’s where life is sorted out then tucked away. Storage abounds with pot drawers aplenty and open shelving in the pantry.
“We love our kitchen. It’s the perfect flight deck for a busy family,” says the current owner.
The home is both a winter wonderland – with soul-filling spaces around a combustion fire and outdoor fire pit – and a summer resort – with in-ground pool, tropical gardens and elegant pond stocked with mature fish.
There are some lovely outdoor living spaces allowing for entertaining on a large scale, or more intimately. You won’t find a better set-up than the alfresco area here with security screening completely enclosing the space, an attached barbecue bar and a separate toilet for easy access from the pool.
It’s as though you are in a high-end resort with many choices of how to spend your time.
Poolside barbecues, early morning laps and late-night dips – the backyard swimming pool is the very essence of the great Australian dream. With new “spray-pave” coping, fibre-glassing, saltwater filter and pump, the pool area is like new.
Against a backdrop of lush greenery, you’ll love the firepit, a place that feels like camping where you can roast marshmallows and spend time together but enjoy the convenience of home.
For the homesteader, the large block is a virtually a mini-farm with an established orchard, many vegetable gardens and a large chook run, plus water tanks, a pump and irrigation, and an expansive solar array. And there’s room to do much more.
Home is where the heart is, and this home has heart in abundance.
“We feel so blessed to be able to turn into the driveway and just be in our own sanctuary,” say the owners, who are reluctantly leaving the area for work.
This property is a true escape from the rush of city life and its space and opportunities have been particularly welcome during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, where it has easily accommodated work and study from home options.
