Tucked away on a quiet, leafy block in Burradoo is a five-bedroom, four bathroom home as unique as it is beautiful.
At first glance, 611 Moss Vale Road‘s most striking feature is the vibrant greenery that frames it. More than an acre of space dotted with mature trees and lush lawns is certainly eye-catching.
But the house itself is a real treat, too.
Creative architecture builds a different sense of space in every room, while the flowing floor plan brings them all together.
Venture through the ornate front gates, up the tree-lined driveway and over the threshold. Sales agent Gene Fairbanks says you’ll feel right at home.
“My favourite features are all part of the architecture,” he says.
“You have elevated ceilings, large, eclectic windows, exposed beams and stained glass panels. They all lend themselves to the home’s unique character.
“It’s warm and inviting but stylish as well.”
Solid timber floors lead from the entry foyer right into the heart of the home. The open-plan layout includes living, kitchen and dining spaces.
Visitors are then led into the U-shaped kitchen, equipped with a Blanco gas stove, electric oven and large pantry.
A few steps further is the breakfast nook, perfect for casual meals. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the adjacent dining area offer beautiful garden views.
To the front of the home is a cosy indoor/outdoor entertainment lounge with a double-sided fireplace that flows seamlessly out onto a covered deck. Glass surrounds offer an almost 360-degree view of the gardens beyond.
“All of the home’s windows and doors are double-glazed for energy efficiency,” Gene says.
“There’s also an on-roof solar panel system to help keep energy costs down.”
Number 611 underwent a full renovation about five years ago, which included an extension that effectively doubled under-roof space.
This made room for a premier master suite, fifth bedroom, home office, media room and semi-detached library/studio.
The master is complete with a huge walk-in closet, and the attached ensuite is reminiscent of a modern spa. There’s even a freestanding bath, once again featuring a gorgeous leafy outlook.
All of the remaining four bedrooms have built-in robes. Two are equipped with ensuites.
Three spacious multi-purpose rooms finish off the extension. They’re currently used as a media room, home office and studio, but Gene says they could be turned into almost anything.
“The studio could easily be transformed into extra accommodation, a workshop, a home gym or a teenager’s retreat,” he says.
“It’s well-lit and connected to the rest of the house by a glass-enclosed walkway.”
From mature maples, poplars and oaks to lush open-air lawns and terraced landscaping, outside is a nature-lover’s paradise. Despite their grand looks, the gardens are low-maintenance.
There’s even an enclosed fernery and serene rain garden to enjoy.
Other features on the property include a lockable double garage with mezzanine storage.
Adjoining the city of Bowral, Burradoo is a peaceful suburban community with two brilliant schools, a friendly pony club, plenty of parks and a bustling hotel-pub.
For other amenities, Bowral’s CBD is less than a five-minute drive away.
If you ask Gene, this neighbourhood boasts some of the most impressive homes in the Southern Highlands.
“Number 611 would suit a growing family or downsizers from large acreage who still want that tranquil, private atmosphere,” he says.
“It would also be a great choice for retirees looking to get away from the busy streets of Sydney.
“The home is beautiful, functional and versatile. There’s more than enough room to grow indoors and out, and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.”
611 Moss Vale Road in Burradoo has a price guide of $2.8 million to $3 million. For more information or to book an inspection, contact Gene Fairbank on 0448 613 665 or Erica Chapman on 0449 574 482. Keeping an eye on the market? Check out all the latest listings on Zango.
