This exceptionally presented double-brick house is grand in nature and faultless in its location next to Balmoral Park – and could be the property that hits your nail on the head.
Its mammoth 1606-square-metre block comprises landscaped gardens and manicured lawns in the front and back yards, with designated outdoor dining areas.
The stunning double-storey was designed with modern living, effortless entertainment, excellence and longevity in mind.
Entry is into a light-filled foyer with white ceramic tiles underfoot accented with natural stone tiles which complement the pale gray and white decor.
Through double doors to the left of entry, a bedroom (one of five) has plush carpet and garden views.
The large family room is next door where plenty of natural light is admitted through large windows spanning the room’s length. A gas log fire under a mantelpiece adds a touch of class.
To the right of entry, the stylish living hub has distinct zones starting with the modern black-and-white kitchen including stone benchtops, a breakfast-bar, ample storage, a dual-drawer dishwasher, stainless-steel oven and convection cooktop.
The family-meals area has polished floorboards and opens through sliding doors for seamless indoor/outdoor living and entertainment.
An expansive separate family room towards the rear has a built-in bar and also opens to the outdoor entertainment area through sliding doors.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms with built-in wardrobes including the luxurious main, with its spa en suite, dressing room and great views capturing the parklands and beyond – a private haven that makes leaving the room a challenge.
Outdoor entertainment for every possible occasion, from a celebratory dinner party to beer and pizza with friends over a game of pool, will be a breeze under the paved pergola area which has views of flowering gardens.
The expansive, contemporary floor plan makes everyday family life a joy and has the flexibility to re-configure as needs change over time.
A 16-square work shed, which can shelter more than six cars, would also suit a home business. There’s also an integrated double garage at this appealing property within 20 minutes’ drive of the CBD.
