Bundanoon

With Rosalie Iannelli

View property

You may have to pinch yourself each time you roll up to your home at 17 Heritage Drive, Bundanoon. Life doesn’t get much better – or more stylish – than this.

Displaying the finest craftsmanship and modern creature comforts, the home is a brand-new build and yet, somehow, it’s just as warm and welcoming as a home that’s as old as your grandmother (or your grandmother herself).

It might have something to do with the combination of materials used throughout, which balance country elegance with contemporary glamour.

Grey ironbark trusses and floors and a Bundanoon sandstone fireplace are juxtaposed with chic Caesarstone benches and Carrara marble subway tiles. 

The living areas emit a sense of grandeur and buoyancy with a northerly aspect, soaring ceilings and dormer windows that ensure they is always gloriously light-filled.

They are commanded by an elegant country-style kitchen from which the smell of a juicy roast will permeate through the home each Sunday. 

Retractable bifold doors extend this space to an outdoor entertaining area that sits beneath a pitched roof with exposed trusses.

Even when the rains are in, this is where you’ll want to perch yourself to soak in that Southern Highlands bliss.
