This 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom home has extensive living space, along with cellars, crypts and secret rooms! While I thoroughly enjoy building modern homes, this being my first 'traditional' home, I thought I'd give it a shot out of my comfort zone.


The Keatings Cross Estate was originally a private estate housing stables and lodgings. Today the property has been repurposed, with some of the old structures giving away to new living areas while keeping the character of the original late-Edwardian manor.

The Main Floor has a formal reception room, formal salon and dining room. The more modern living area is at the rear of the house with an open kitchen, lots of windows and access to the patios and pools. In the other wing is a two-room study, with a secret passage to an underground treasure room.

The Upper Floor has one Master suite, along with four other bedrooms, and an Art Gallery above the foyer.

The Cellars have a secondary kitchen for the cooking and serving staff for large functions, as well as quarters for hired help. Extending beyond the six-car garage is a crypt network, which point to the structure's ancient foundations.
