Holding an elevated, enviable position with breathtaking views across Kingston to the River Derwent, Opossum Bay and beyond, this impressive property offers an exceptional, extra-large, family residence.
The moment you enter you'll recognise the quality of a well-built, beautifully designed home. From the days when things were built to a different standard, the whole property has been well maintained since construction in 1989 and recently enhanced and modernised with an eye for attention to detail.
With energy efficient Rehau uPVC double glazed, tinted windows throughout, the home welcomes the light and retains the warmth provided by the sunny aspect. Enormous panes of fixed glass frame the view, creating a mesmerising and picturesque outlook from several rooms, both upstairs and down.
The functional floorplan on the upper level provides a defined entry space which steps down into a large living room, with raked timber ceilings only adding to the sense of grand proportions. The kitchen is centred between the living and family rooms and is fitted with stainless steel, European appliances, stone benchtops, extensive storage, soft close drawers and enough room for the family to dine in comfort, whilst looking out at that view. A sliding door leads to the rear deck, which features Jarrah boards and railings wide enough to rest a drink upon.
The family room is heated by a heat pump as well as a new slow combustion wood fire for cosy winter nights. Heat is circulated via a heat transfer system so the whole house benefits from these effective heat sources. The master suite has a walk-in robe with plenty of shelving and a luxurious ensuite which has under floor heating, a rainwater shower head and floor to ceiling tiling.
The other three bedrooms on this level are serviced by another lavishly appointed bathroom boasting under floor heating, double sink vanity and a sensible variation on the deep, freestanding bath concept, as this one sits flush against the wall to eliminate the chore of cleaning behind. The practical separation between the master and the other bedrooms is yet another example of the consideration of parental privacy, without the kids being too far away, in the planning and design process.
A wide internal staircase leads to an expansive lower level and the opportunity for extended family living. An ensuited bedroom with two additional living areas as well as a large laundry room which lends itself to become a kitchenette for grandparents, teenagers or dual occupancy (STCA). The under-house workshop/storage area has been fully concreted and painted with two-pac textured paint to provide a clean, dry, temperature-controlled storage solution for hobbyists, tinkerers and wine lovers. There's enough room here for everyone! Building enthusiasts will be in awe of the use of concrete in the block retaining wall which has further reinforced the already sound structural integrity of the home. They just don't build them like this anymore.
Outside, on the large 1078m2 grounds, there's enough space for keen gardeners, the kids to play basketball or ride bikes and the gate straight through to the park behind means the whole footy team can come over for practise.
Located in a well-established area, just minutes from popular schools, shops, public transport and beaches, this extraordinary property presents an excellent family home in a much sought-after pocket of Kingston.
