Sought-after Parkerville

The symmetry of gable windows and a dramatic pitched roof give this home its landmark status and create a striking effect. Nestled on a corner lot with an in-out driveway, the much-loved and admired home is ready for its next chapter and awaits a new family to fill its rooms with love and laughter.

Large bay windows with white shutters bring an exquisite quality of natural light to the first floor, where a formal dining room, media room, and lounge offer ample living and entertaining space. An alpine vibe fills the sunken lounge; this generous, carpeted space includes a fitted gas heater, a built-in bar, and exposed beams. A door leads directly from the lounge and dining rooms to the family-style kitchen/meals area.

The kitchen is spacious and well-appointed, with a 4-burner gas hob, an electric oven, and a dishwasher. An integrated breakfast bar links the kitchen's workspace to the meals area, and a walk-in pantry is ingeniously hidden under the home's central staircase. Sliding glass doors open the meals area to the east-facing verandah and alfresco entertaining zone – an expansive space set under a high gabled roof with overhead fans and a built-in barbecue.

On the second floor, a carpeted landing with built-in storage sits at the top of the stairs – a ready-made reading nook with views through majestic trees. The oversized main bedroom occupies one end of the second floor and has a walk-in robe and semi-ensuite access. Dual aspect glazing creates a luminous space, while an overhead fan and reverse cycle air-conditioning ensure year-round comfort. At one corner of the bedroom, a doorway opens to a hidden passage leading to a surprisingly large study; this flexible space offers peace and privacy for uninterrupted work or the potential for an impressive dressing room and parents' retreat.

Three very generous junior bedrooms, each with reverse cycle air-conditioning or ceiling fan, have access to the family bathroom and a separate WC. A second bathroom and WC on the ground floor make mornings when everyone is getting ready a little less hectic.

A lush haven surrounds the alfresco entertaining area; reticulated lawn and gardens create a soft green screen and blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape of tall eucalypts. Sitting to one side of the backyard is a small garden shed, its high, pitched roof mirroring that of the house. There is a double garage/workshop under the main roof and a 5kw Solar System to reduce power costs.

The alchemy of this home is the overwhelming sense of cosiness and welcome created by an expansive floor plan and generous rooms. This iconic property is designed to ring with laughter and the hubbub of family life, a home built to be the setting for years and generations of memory-making and an inimitable experience of growing up in the Hills.
