41 Oxley Drive, Mittagong, NSW 2575

A unique home meticulously planned and created in partnership with a local and renowned master builder. Absolute first class workmanship is apparent the moment you walk in. This is a special property, special enough to attract the attention of Restorations Australia who featured it on their TV show. 

The east wing, known as the 'Joadja' house was sourced from another property, dismantled, restored and completely rebuilt board by board. It oozes history and charm with the walls and ceiling boards as they would've been 150 years ago including some markings from that era. The fireplaces and chimneys were built first, as per old school method, using original refurbished sandstock bricks and massive foundations. An inviting bullnose verandah completes the gorgeous front facade. 

The modern west wing complements the east wing with raked ceilings, timber and iron features and the use of old sandstone blocks and historic custom steel ponds made from an old steam train boiler. It's a huge credit to the owners and the builder to have created this one-off charming home. Just sourcing such rare materials is a considerable and time consuming undertaking in itself.

There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms (2 are ensuites). The east wing has three bedrooms featuring the classic brick fireplaces and there's a large office/5th bedroom. The sun-drenched kitchen with butlers pantry and dining room opens to a spacious verandah making it the ideal indoor/outdoor entertaining area. A lovely walkway with tall picture windows takes you to a vast lounge room with raked timber featured ceilings and access to the paved porch leading to the gardens. 

It's a clever design with separate areas and nooks to indulge yourself in.  There is double glazing throughout, R/C air conditioning, polished concrete floors and a 40 panel solar system (15Kw). 

The grounds are delightful yet simple to maintain. Between the paved porch and timber verandah there are sparrow picked old sandstone steps leading down to a lawn surrounded by native shrubs and trees, hedges and some citrus. The garden shed is hidden away in the back corner. 

An extraordinary property perfectly blending the old with the new. The owners have successfully preserved a piece of history and combined it with the modern to create a beautifully built character filled home with all the modern comforts. If you like the charm of old homes and appreciate quality workmanship but want the modern comforts of a new build, then you must inspect this one.
