Ideally situated on a corner site, with an open aspect, set back and significantly elevated from the road.
Custom Hinuera Stone clad, with solid stone band, pillar caps and key stone embellishing the covered entry. Solid stone lintel heads sit above the home’s numerous deep-set windows.
Hydronic underfloor slab heating and an HRV system make this an exceptionally comfortable home.
A spacious entry foyer atrium features an easy and elegant spiral staircase, a lift, and a guest powder room. This arrival introduces the sense of space and luxury found throughout the home with its 2.755m stud height.
Landscaping by locally renowned Michelle McDonell provides beautiful low-maintenance spaces to enjoy, complementing the timelessness of the home.
The main living area to the north of the foyer includes a large, fully featured, high-quality kitchen, an open-plan family and dining area, and a large living/lounge room divided by generous cavity sliders. This very welcoming space includes attractive built-ins, a BOSE audio system and a gas fire, whilst providing direct connection to a private, sheltered north-facing patio.
A unique and very desirable addition to these living spaces is the garden room. Positioned beside the patio and accessed via sliders from the main living area, the garden room enjoys a bright and intimate connection with the manicured gardens, a substantial water feature, and all-day sun.
Upstairs opens to a large landing, originally conceived to display art, but equally capable of hosting a reading or seating area. From the landing, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, a linen cupboard and lift are available.
The master bedrooms were designed for separate sleeping arrangements; sharing a large ensuite (with bath), separate powder room, dressing room and wonderful sunroom with window seating and the best views on site. This area could easily be transformed into an even more extravagant single master suite for a couple, or into a generous master bedroom and second independent family bedroom. We have concept plans available for both of these options; however, in its current configuration, it has been enjoyed as a parental retreat with private lounge.
Downstairs features a fourth bedroom and bathroom (with bath). This is ideal for older kids and guests, or for use as an office space, benefiting from its size and location adjacent to the home’s entry.
The separate laundry and generous double garage with a loft are also beautifully finished spaces, both with large storage cupboards.
