Privately positioned on a slip road and directly opposite the picturesque outskirts of beautiful Wembley Golf Course, is this sublime 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom two-storey residence. This home defines contemporary comfort and offers areas for everyone in the family to enjoy.

A gated front garden entrance reveals terraced garden beds with established trees for shade, privacy and birdlife. The low maintenance garden also plays host to a paved sitting courtyard, as well as an arbour honeysuckle arch, leading to a lawn area. Hidden from the road are three well maintained olive trees which offer shade to the plants below. Upon entering the house, two gorgeous bay windows grace the formal open-plan front lounge and dining space, benefitting from its own delightful garden aspect from all angles.

The layout of the main living area has north facing outlooks to the patio and pool, includes upper level feature windows and ensures the family lounge benefits most from the high ceilings adjacent to the open-plan kitchen.

The functional kitchen itself plays host to a double-door storage pantry, glass splashbacks, a water-filter tap, a stainless-steel range hood, a Westinghouse electric cooktop, a Linea electric oven, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and views out to the kids at play within the shimmering below-ground salt-water swimming pool at the rear.

The family room enjoys direct access out to both a relaxing poolside veranda and a spacious outdoor alfresco-entertaining area, with two remote-controlled Lucci Bali ceiling fans to enhance the sea breeze. It is all overlooked by a terrific poolside courtyard with palm trees, limestone pavers and quality glass pool fences that combine to create an aesthetic that can be enjoyed year round.

The laundry in this part of the house is also separate and extends out to the yard for drying.

Enormous third and fourth bedrooms are carpeted under foot and have their own split-system air-conditioners, fans and mirrored built-in robes, as well as shared semi-ensuite access into a fully-tiled third bathroom with a huge shower, a powder vanity and separate toilet.
