An arched gateway through the high courtyard wall leads to a secret garden and a peaceful and welcoming home, where the natural textures of limestone, timber and travertine create a timeless atmosphere.
Delight in the unexpected, as you discover a series of charming spaces with a clever 'one-room wide' architectural concept - bringing in natural light from both sides and giving a sense of being embraced by the garden and its sculptural features.
Created with passion and precision by an award-winning designer, this home works beautifully; a whisper quiet private sanctuary in a vibrant community with everything you need - shopping, salons, medical services, restaurants and more - just a moment's walk away.
Enter to the secluded, north-facing courtyard, with long table dining under the grapevine and an air of Mediterranean relaxation.
Inside, is the travertine-floored open-plan living area, where the dining space has glass on both sides to bring in the light and the garden views.
The fabulous and functional kitchen has quality appliances, finely decorative Italian tiling and a square central island of brushed black granite.
The hand-rendered internal walls add to the sense of warmth and texture that is such a feature of this bespoke home.
Timber and glass concertina doors open to the courtyard, and the cosy lounge room also looks out to the garden.
Also on this level is a lovely bathroom with travertine and solid beech vanity and a separate powder room, both bathed in light from long rectangular skylights.
The well-designed laundry has extensive storage, as part of a suite of storage throughout the home, with a place for everything. The single garage has cedar doors and additional space for bikes or kayaks, and there is off-street paved parking for two more cars.
A beech and steel spiral staircase leads to two delightful bedrooms with gorgeous attic ceilings, air conditioning, study nooks and plantation shutters.
There is also a box room or storage room that could also serve as a large walk-in robe.
This zone, with its own staircase access, is an ideal retreat for children or teenagers.
At the other end of the house, another set of stairs leads to the master suite, with walk-in-robe, leafy outlooks and French doors to a Juliet balcony.
The en-suite is superb, with solid Tasmanian oak cabinetry, beautifully detailed marble top and double shower. Adjacent to the master suite is another charming room - an additional living room or large office.
The surprises continue to unfold below, where a timber door off the kitchen opens to travertine stairs leading down to the dream wine cellar.
Under the traditional vaulted brick ceiling there is plenty of room for your collection, and space to sit and taste the good life.
As well as the romance, all the practicalities are taken care of, with the outdoor utility area cleverly concealed in a separate service zone tucked behind the house.
Inspired design, natural materials, traditional architectural features and modern luxury combine here to make this a captivating and serene place to live, with the urban vibe close at hand in this perfectly convenient location.
