18 Turner St, Dunsborough WA 6281, Australia
Located high on the Old Dunsborough hill, on the high side of Turner Street with picturesque easterly views across Geographe Bay toward Busselton. This sheltered aspect with a house to compliment the superb block delivers an enticing combination of top quality construction and superb location. Off street parking and side access deliver a practicality to match the stylishness of the building.
The high specification two storey home (Todd Huxley Homes built) has been well maintained and upgraded during the current owner’s ownership to now present a virtually “As New” home built with architectural flare which would now be cost prohibitive to replicate.
The contemporary front façade is of limestone, with a Wunderlick Nullarbor slate tile roof, aggregate paved driveways and attractive landscaping.
The front door is sheltered by virtue of a portico verandah with a beautiful heavy double timber door leading into a front Atrium lounge area with wall to roof glass to both storeys graced with Luxaflex blinds.
A Resi-Lift lift has been installed which looks in place rather than retro-fitted and is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair if necessary.
The open plan kitchen/living/dining area features a modern kitchen with island bench incorporating a 2 bowl sink, White Bosch dishwasher and ample drawer and cupboard space which features including stone benchtops throughout, an appliance cupboard, a new new 600mm Westinghouse wall oven incorporating plus additional oven grill, air fryer, steam and griller plus an additional oven/separate griller underneath, large pantry cupboard, 900mm Miele gas hot plate with a Miele glass range hood above, a wide fridge access and a small computer/desk nook.
With high ceilings by virtue of the first storey void above, the lounge/dining area boasts a sense of space. Ducted air-conditioning, beautiful northern glazed areas to a paved outdoor area and an Aurora dual fuel (wood and ethanol – ethanol unit unused in garage) suspended wood fire place exude a feeling of luxury and homeliness.
The timber floors are NSW coastal blackbutt.
The resort style master suite is on the ground floor, and accesses a large walk in-wardrobe/dressing room and an en-suite with a spa bath, large shower recess, twin vanity and WC. This area opens onto a private alfresco area with a lofted timber lined roof, outdoor kitchen/BBQ and a further 4-person spa adjacent to a lawned area at the rear of the house. The spa is covered by an alfresco area with matching tiled roof, insulated cedar timber ceiling with LED lights surrounded by tropical gardens.
There is a separate powder room to service the main living area occupants.
The large laundry has a built-in trough plus broom cupboard and under bench cupboards plus built-in ironing board and a small sewing/desk area.
One can’t help but take note of the oversize nature of the design and construction with high doors, large windows and quality window treatments throughout the house.
