Reasons To Call This Home
Quietly unassuming from the laneway but playing a much bigger game behind closed doors, this luxe 5 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey abode delivers serious substance without ever feeling the need to shout about it. Across two beautifully-considered levels, generous proportions, stylish finishes and a functional floor plan provide the space and flexibility to accommodate changing family needs, without sacrificing an ounce of contemporary finesse. Better still, it all comes wrapped in an impressively low-maintenance “lock-up-and-leave” package.

Downstairs, an enormous carpeted master-bedroom retreat enjoys peace and quiet, as well as a ceiling fan, feature bedside pendant lights, a fitted walk-in wardrobe, lovely garden views to wake up to and a light, bright and commodious ensuite bathroom – with twin “his and hers” vanities. A massive carpeted theatre/activity room can be whatever you want it to be, with window louvers allowing for cross-flow ventilation whilst overlooking the sparkling resort-style swimming pool outside. Also within the front part of the layout are an over-sized under-stair storeroom, a well-appointed laundry with feature floor tiles, a fold-out ironing board and ample storage and a powder room with a sensor light.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area looks down into an expansive sunken living room that is light, bright, pleasantly faces north and is warmed by a Philippe Design wood-fireplace heater on top of a striking concrete hearth. The kitchen itself oozes class with its stone bench tops, island breakfast bar, double-door storage pantry and quality stainless-steel Blanco dishwasher, range-hood, four-burner gas-cooktop and Technika oven appliances. Sliding-stacker doors extend the living space out to a delightful poolside entertaining courtyard, right beside a hot/cold water outdoor shower.

Upstairs, a walk-in linen press and lockable roof storage space complement a separate toilet and a study nook with a built-in work desk for two people. A light-filled main bathroom with a separate bath and shower also occupies the area, along with a spacious second bedroom with built-in robes, a massive third bedroom – or potential extra lounge room – with a brilliant under-cover back “sunset” balcony with tree-lined views, a large fourth bedroom with a fan and built-in robes and a fifth bedroom with double blinds, even more custom storage and its own slice of the sweeping valley vista.

Extras here include a gated entry courtyard off the laneway, side/rear gate access to the drying courtyard from Duke Street, a front storage lean-to for bikes, tools and pool toys, gleaming Bamboo floorboards, solar-power panels, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, integrated audio ceiling speakers, an A/V intercom system, white plantation window shutters, a gas storage hot-water system, an in-ground pool cover, easy-care gardens and a huge remote-controlled double lock-up garage – with shelves, a storage/work-bench area and internal shopper’s entry.

Convenience has never been this impressive.
