The couple are the third owners of the home and undertook a fabulous renovation on the kitchen to make it modern and functional.
Jennifer Cummins, is the principal of Heiress Films, a boutique, independent production company that specialises in factual and entertainment programs for primetime audiences. Often transformational in nature, the films tell stories with sensitivity, heart and humour.
Ms Cummins has swerved away from documentaries for the moment and her current project is a scripted comedy drama production called IN LIMBO which will air on the ABC TV in the months to come.
“So many ideas have flowed out of this house. It’s definitely a creative hub, and in my office I have three completely different views of the garden. It’s a very special space to work from, the original office of architect John James himself,” Cummins said.
“The other thing I love about the house is that it’s perfect for entertaining – we have had the best parties and long lunches here.
“When people arrive they feel they are in a special place, and everyone who arrives always brings champagne!
“We’ve celebrated huge family Christmases, 21st birthday dance parties, mad men pool parties here but perhaps the most special experience of all is when it’s just us on a chilly winter’s night in the sunken lounge with the fire lit and our feet up.
“We also have no neighbours, it’s very private here.”
The new owner may want to build a meandering pathway down to the creek below or another garden space outside the master bedroom.
“There’s definitely potential to add some flair and another garden.”
As the pair’s two sons now live and work overseas, the couple are keen to downsize to an older art deco style apartment in Sydney.
The property is for sale via an expressions of interest campaign.
