SUNNY PARKSIDE FAMILY HOME

Leafy, light-filled and oh-so liveable - this spectacular property comprises a beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family residence plus a spacious ground floor fully self-contained 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom granny flat

The Main Residence

Occupying a sprawling 1,093sqm corner block looking north out across Mason Gardens, the Carolyn Marshall designed home was built in 1997, with passive solar orientation creating a breathtaking sense of space and light throughout. During the cooler months, the North facing living areas and bedrooms are enveloped in warm winter sun. In summertime they are cool and airy. The home is focused toward the park from its elevated position, as well as embracing its very private, central sheltered central courtyard and pool.

Downstairs, beyond the welcoming cedar double-entry doors, you'll find a formal lounge room with extensive built-in timber shelving, lending itself to a library or home office as required. Further in, you'll be impressed with the high ceiling in the family room, complete with built-in timber cabinetry and a Kalora slow combustion stove that warms the whole house.

Along with the dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen, this space boasts expansive timber windows and French doors, allowing you to enjoy the picturesque front gardens and stunning parkland outlook beyond.

On the ground floor, private and separate from the upstairs bedrooms, the master suite incorporates a vast bedroom, generous walk-through robe and an ensuite bathroom with a separate WC/powder room. Enjoy the tranquil outlook to the alfresco gardens and inviting saltwater pool from this elegant retreat.

On the second level, you'll find the second bathroom and three further north-facing king sized bedrooms, which feature ceiling fans, split system air conditioning and balcony access offering magnificent views of Mason Gardens and the leafy streetscape.

Outdoors, an enchanting arbour adorned by a thriving non-fruiting grapevine shelters the paved alfresco area and flows on to the large saltwater pool framed by glass balustrading and olive trees. This lovely space will be the setting for your family BBQ's and celebrations over the coming summer months.

The Granny Flat

With its own carport and entrance, this versatile, self-contained dwelling will suit a variety of purposes. Perfect for elderly parents to enjoy continued independence, for an older child still living at home or as a short stay accommodation income stream. It has a private courtyard with parkland views and access to the primary residence's secure courtyard, lawn and pool area via a side gate.

The semi-ensuite bathroom/laundry is wheelchair accessible, and the ceiling fan and air conditioning ensure comfortable temperatures year-round. In the kitchen, you'll find plenty of cabinets and bench space, an electric oven, gas cooktop, and a dishwasher recess.
