Attention to detail and uncompromising craftsmanship are the standouts of this exceptional property, which has prime position in a tranquil tree-lined cul de sac.
The striking two-storey facade is softened by a screen of yuccas, purposefully planted for shelter and privacy, and enhanced by a gravel driveway and boardwalk to the entry, giving a tropical ambience to the landscaping – a theme carried through to the backyard.
This owner-built residence was designed with the best of modern family living and entertainment in mind, over an expansive 43-square floor plan. The modern decor includes quality fittings and features, while warming cocoa and beige tones are paired with beautiful polished spotted gum floorboards throughout.
Great first impressions are set by the study to the left of entry with its custom timber desk and cabinetry. The large family room, which has flexibility to be used as a theatre room, is next.
A light-filled and spacious living hub towards the rear has well defined family and meals areas. It’s warmed by a gas-log fireplace and has wall-to-wall doors providing seamless transition from indoor to outdoor dining. When open, stacked doors off the family room give a seamless transition to the inviting decked outdoor barbecue area which has a large spa at its centre and is surrounded by Bali-inspired landscaping.
The gourmet’s kitchen is a focal point downstairs, with extensive stone benchtops, ample storage and quality stainless-steel appliances, including double drawer dishwasher, oven, gas cooktop and rangehood.
A powder room and laundry round out the ground floor.
There’s a retreat at the top of the stairs. All four generously-sized bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) are also up here. The main has a large walk-in wardrobe and en suite with twin basins, stone vanity, spa and separate shower.
The main bathroom has a bath, shower and laundry chute.
Extra creature comforts include ducted heating, two split systems, alarm, security cameras, remote-controlled double garage with rear access and an integrated outdoor shower.
