Set on 2371 sqm of park-like grounds in the exclusive southern highlands town of Burradoo, 29 Toongoon Road is a stunning architect-designed creation promoting harmonious indoor-outdoor interaction at every turn.
Characterised by clean lines and modern design trends, the home employs high, pitched ceilings and exposed brick features to achieve a beautiful contemporary farmhouse aesthetic.
Set back from the road to maximise the north-facing aspect, a striking newly built home connects seamlessly to the renovated original cottage through a generous “transition hallway”.
This creates an unusual u-shaped floorplan that Sarah Wotton of Di Jones Southern Highlands says caters to a variety of experiences.
“The floorplan is versatile with wings for parents, kids and guests, so everyone can enjoy their privacy,” she says. “It’s full of lofty spaces and all those propositions people are looking for in the Southern Highlands.”
The heart of the home is the generous open-plan dining, living and kitchen space. Here, a cast-iron fireplace creates a cosy ambience in the cooler months, while picture windows and stacker doors frame and open up to the great outdoors.
The custom-designed kitchen is the home cook’s dream, featuring a walk-in pantry, stone benchtops and a bespoke ironbark hardwood island benchtop, a farmhouse sink and freestanding ILVE pro-line series six-burner cooker with a pot filler.
An east-to-west sitting room guarantees sun at both ends of the day, making it a great place to curl up with a cuppa and a good book, while an additional media room ensures every need is met.
The spacious laundry and mudroom offers bench space, lots of storage and external access.
The master suite of this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home has a large walk-in wardrobe and a stunning ensuite complete with underfloor heating and a deep standalone tub that beckons you in for a soak after a long day.
This room opens onto a deck, a large and landscaped firepit area where you can sip a beverage with mates and watch the kids kick a ball on the level green space. All of this is tucked into the nook of the u-shaped floorplan for supremely private entertaining.
“It’s one of the standout spaces of this property,” Sarah says.
This privacy is enhanced by parkland-style gardens showcasing established trees and artfully landscaped features.
Additional features include a double lock-up garage with internal access, a rear shed for extra storage, a greenhouse for the family’s gardening enthusiast and a 3000-litre water tank, all packaged onto a sizeable block in a desirable locale.
“The home is in a particularly enviable part of Burradoo,” Sarah says.
Nestled among the changing trees but located minutes from the shops, cafes and train station of Bowral and an hour from Kiama, this home offers a wonderful lifestyle in a picturesque part of the world.
