Character Landmark Residence

Undoubtedly one of the Coromandel Peninsula's finest properties, 'Thurlston' is an exemplary family home of grand proportions.
As you step inside the ivy-covered stone walls you can sense the history, evident in the timeless quality and scale of the elegant four bedroom California bungalow. Designed circa 1913 by renowned architect of the day, Selwyn Goldsbrow, the stately single level home anchors the 2934sqm grounds, and provides the ultimate in character family living and entertaining.
Sophistication and quality are evident throughout, with sympathetically modernised bathrooms, extensive use of native timbers, ornate plaster work and early 1900's period features.
The gourmet country kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complete with large scullery, butler's sink, and double ovens, and flows seamlessly through the butler's servery to the European-inspired formal dining room.
The reading nook, north-facing office, and generous living room, spilling on to the expansive pool-side deck, offer a variety of activity and entertaining options, whilst the swimming pool, vast lawns (tennis, anyone?!), garage/studio, work sheds and landscaped gardens will keep the outdoor-types more than occupied.
Whilst previously enjoyed by many generations as a family home, this stunning property could also serve as a premium bed and breakfast, cookery school, or artist's residence.
