House of the week | 696 West Mount Cotton Road, Sheldon

From the moment you lay eyes on this magnificent and eloquent private property, it's easy to see that it is nothing short of grand.

A secluded bitumen driveway crosses a dam and ends at the beautiful elevated Queensland style residence with wide verandahs running around the entire perimeter.

The home's architectural design captures the surrounding nature and cool bay breezes, with every room leading onto the verandah.

There are Tasmanian Oak floorboards throughout and period features are prominent including lead lighting, a grand fireplace, high ceilings and VJ paneling.

The expansive floor plan stretches over a massive living space of three lounge rooms, a grand dining room, large study and a massive entertainment wing.

An open plan kitchen is stunning with granite benchtops and an impressive ILVE Italian Chef size stove and dual oven.

The entertainment wing features a kitchenette, bar area and surround sound.

There are four bedrooms plus a splendid master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe as well as a kids play room and/or studio.

Outside presents a sparkling in-ground pool and there are two dams, two large sheds and two garden sheds set amongst native bushland and pretty, mature gardens on just over 10 acres.

A double bay shed has an additional kitchenette, bathroom and mezzanine floor.

Other features include driveway lighting, a bird avery, vege patch, car port, under house storage, cubby house and solar paneling.
