With an evocative yet unassuming exterior embraced by landscaped gardens, the revelation of what lies inside is truly exciting with polished timber floors, soaring ceilings and extensive glazing delivering a brilliant sense of space and light, while the layout lends itself to incredible versatility for larger families.
Spread across three levels, generous accommodation options are peacefully zoned from living and entertaining precincts. Welcomed by the foyer, the entry level delivers a flexible separate lounge room, currently configured as a second main bedroom, two bedrooms fitted with built in robes and a large study. The luxurious family bathroom features a rain shower and a deep soak tub while a powder room and a separate laundry with external access add convenience.
Down a few stairs, the casual living and relaxation domain unfolds, anchored by a stone finished kitchen equipped with an island bench, enormous butler’s pantry with garden access, a suite of Neff cooking appliances such as an induction cooktop, oven, a combi-steam oven and an integrated Asko dishwasher. A superbly comfortable, open plan family room and dining zone open by two walls of bi-folds to the all-weather alfresco entertaining area, fitted with retractable flyscreens, electric heating, a ceiling fan and automated Velux skylights. A paved terrace, lush lawn and private garden extend from the alfresco zone. Serenely positioned on the upper level, a sumptuous parent’s retreat presents a living area, study nook, main suite with a tranquil treetop vista, dressing room and a sleek bathroom with both a bath and shower.
