As I am recovering from my son's 3rd birthday party,
I now find myself back looking thru some lovely homes...
I found quite a few in NSW today, but this one stood out from the crowd!

An 1880's fully restored sandstone home,
this one is simply divine!

A lot of white throughout homes these days,
obviously a very popular colour, not so boring, just spectacular!

This is the epitome of indoor/outdoor living in Sydney I bet!

I can't imagine living with sandstone
in my hallway and bedrooms every day!

And I think the bathroom is perfect for this home,
bit glamour really!

This is living!

AND here is what the Agent said!

Meticulously restored and extended 1880s residence
A statement in superior craftsmanship and generous traditional proportions, this double fronted 1880s sandstone residence displays an inspired redesign that fuses original features with contemporary style to provide an exceptional entertainers' haven.
Nestled in one of Paddington's most prestigious streets
Grand formal reception rooms with exposed sandstone walls
High ceilings, refined period details and ornate fireplaces
Light filled contemporary living space with vaulted ceilings
Private entertainer's courtgarden

Such a nice home, in typical NSW country,
over park-like 14 acres, with tennis, pool etc etc.

The interiors are muted, but appealing.

That's a pretty bedroom, nice colours.

Obviously the outdoors are a huge selling factor with this home.

There is a tennis court hidden there above!

Great back yard, with your own dam!
Just a great way to live...

AND here's what the Agent said!

Kurkulla
This magnificent country estate, dating back to 1880, was originally built as a boarding school for boys and then later purchased by Ada Evans (the first woman to qualify for admission to the Bar in NSW) in 1909.
"Kurkulla" has been renovated and extended under the strict guidance of arguably Australia's leading heritage architect, Howard Tanner, resulting in the creation of a glorious family home.
The house is a complete estate with the main house, including a separate guest accommodation or self-contained studio, 3 paddocks, an inground pool, and a floodlit tennis court.
- Retaining many of its early features including original Villeroy and Boch tiles and commanding fireplaces
- Wunderlich ceilings with antique chandeliers and light fittings, original bathroom fixtures and rich timber joinery
- Fully renovated Manager's cottage
- 3 phase electricity
- Approximately 14 acres of park-like gardens
- Garden includes Blue bell wood, orchard with plums, cherries, apples and a fully enclosed vegetable garden
- Large workshop for outside garden equipment and tools

This 4yo architecturally designed home was based on a
Hamptons style home,
which I think is evident in the pics below...

A lot of white in this home, inside and out.

This room is gorgeous, great feel to it...
and I love those ceiling fans,
we have them in our home here in the alfresco,
not inside, but I think they look even
better inside from the look of these pics!

The kitchen is great too.

Beautiful views over the water from the balconies...

Ceiling fans outside to match of course!

And here's the Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said!
