Positioned on a prime, north facing 1,012sqm block, this astounding 5 bedroom 4-bathroom, family home across a single level, with a large 4 car under croft garage including additional storage and workshop. This is a home where spacious proportions and quality craftsmanship come together to create an inviting sanctuary for all.
The careful consideration that went into this architecturally designed residence is evident in the layout, finishes, flow and functionality, at every turn.
The design takes full advantage of the north facing back yard, and corner position that is open to the east. The home has been designed around an exceptionally well crafted and balanced backyard, with alfresco entertaining and dining adjacent to the sparkling blue, solar heated pool. The landscaping includes ornamental ponds, lawns and decking, all behind a full height perimeter wall that ensures your full privacy and security. This is a backyard that you will live and entertain in year-round due to calm ambiance and its shelter and sunny aspect. An electric awning lets you control light and shade, as you like, through the seasons.
Inside, the large open plan dining, kitchen and lounge is the heart of the home. With timber floors, electric blinds, high ceilings, and banks of glass doors and windows connecting you to the garden, it is a haven for you and your family.
The kitchen is modern and sleek, with an island bench with breakfast bar, ample bench space and a ton of storage. It has a walk-in pantry and space for all your appliances. A dumbwaiter linking down to the garage adds additional convenience. Appliances include double sinks, fridge plumbing, an integrated stainless-steel Qasair range hood, a Miele Induction cooktop, an integrated Miele microwave, double ovens and a warming-drawer of the same brand and an integrated Bosch dishwasher.
The home has two additional lounge rooms. One is the more formal and part of the main bedroom suite and wing, the other is more casual and positioned between three of the secondary bedrooms.
Relax in the substantial carpeted formal lounge room, complemented by a Heat Glo gas log fireplace, built-in storage and access out to a large front terrace balcony with splendid tree-lined views of the street.

There is plenty of room for all your clothes in the giant fitted walk-in robe. The sumptuous fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, heated towel rack, heat lamps, twin "his and hers" stone vanities, looks into a cleverly screened courtyard garden. The W.C is separate and fully tiled.
A study or additional bedroom depending on your requirements, is adjacent to the formal lounge and main bedroom suits. A separate bathroom with shower, vanity and W.C services this room
The enormous second and third bedrooms have their own fans, computer desks, built-in robes, backyard-access doors and their own private ensuite bathrooms, complete with showers, toilets, stone vanities, heated towel racks and heat lamps.
