“The Studio” Of Harkaway
Some properties come to market that just grab your full attention - this stunning piece of Harkaway’s history is one of those! The Studio was built in 1924 for the prominent artist Jessie Traill. Still retaining some of its original heritage features, the home has been painstakingly converted into a striking modern family home set amongst a nature-lovers 1.5-acre sanctuary. The blend of ‘old meets new’ is no better matched than in this custom-designed home. The northerly aspect brings the property to life in every season - in the early mornings, you could be mistaken for living in an aviary. The Studio side of the home features original raw Baltic flooring, soaring ceilings in a sunny open plan zone that is true to its origins, with a modern twist! The quality kitchen is classic in its styling, topped in stone and brick accents - the Smeg Stove, butler’s pantry and the polished concrete floors add the modern flare. A mezzanine level serves as a home office or 4th bedroom, a full mudroom with shower and toilet service the keen gardeners. The contemporary extension with its full height commercial grade north-facing windows run the entire length and are simply stunning. 2 oversized bedrooms with large BIRs, serviced by a sleek modern bathroom with a custom designed solid hardwood vanity. 5m tall ceilings and a modern wood heater in the second living area make this space very inviting. Master suite with his and hers robes and an earthy stone-lined ensuite with bespoke vanity. Historic charm and cutting-edge design link together in the extensive naturally weathered decking boards that border the front of the home - meeting in the middle at a communal fire-pit area - the seating compliments of decades-old timbers from the Warrnambool Wharf. Every modern feature is here for your convenience - aircon units, ceiling fans, 90,000litres of water, 2 Rinnai hot water services, full treatment plant and a 3 -bay shed with workshop and loft design to match the house. Words from our owner’s echo throughout this masterpiece; their love for the quaint Harkaway township, the total seclusion, peace and tranquillity of their creation - every conceivable amenity that Berwick has to offer is less than 5 minutes away.
