Unequivocally a unique offering, this stunning family home is exceptional as a contemporary designer build, as well as presenting with a secret garden on a rare private piece of beautiful Brownhill Creek. Adjacent to the home is a separate two bedroom apartment suite completing this stunning sanctuary for a whole family to live superbly and entertain easily. With paths wending invitingly into the neighbouring Brownhill Creek Park, the owners explain that living here is like living in a park with visiting koalas, echidnas and owls. There is an array of birds calling in the trees and ducks, yabbies and frogs in the creek which flows almost all year round.
This is a home of wonderful proportions and open spaces presenting with high ceilings, expansive glass, wide corridors, generous flowing space and light filling the rooms. Utilising materials such as raw stacked stone and timber alongside porcelain, steel and glass there is an attractive balance of organic and man-made materials creating interest and ambience.
Life with family and friends at its best everyone will enjoy coming home. With full height windows to the north-facing rear, sitting under the spreading walnut tree with a view to the creek, is an option all-year-round, where around the dining table, outside is inside. The entertainers kitchen enjoys an amazing outlook and has every feature to cook up a storm with a complete butlers pantry. In winter there is light from the north facing glass to the rear and the added cosiness of the gas heater set in one of the beautiful stone feature walls or the open gas fire in the beautiful library. The patio is a protected space to entertain outdoors, watch activity in the pool or the garden. The lawn slopes down to the creek and there is a glimpse of the private footbridge across the creek, a magical place for children to play and explore.
Everyone can enjoy their own space with casual living areas, kitchen and work zones, library and study on the ground floor. On the upper level, there is great accommodation with three large family bedrooms and superb master suite with enviable dressing room and ensuite. From the master suite, enjoy some privacy overlooking the pool and creek from the balcony, large enough to retreat with drinks in the evening or breakfast in the morning appreciating the leafy green backdrop and sounds from the creek.
The separate apartment suite offers a light generous living area, two bedrooms with bathroom and separate laundry. Very appealing and comfortable the apartment opens onto the garden and creek, private and secluded, however the pool and garden is accessible around the corner. Designed to be quite separate, the double garage with room for shared storage and scooter, motor-bile or bicycles links the two homes and there is a common services area. Offering an option to accommodate independent living for a young or older member of the family, long term visitors, students or even a possibility for Airbnb, this configuration adds so much lifestyle value.

Charming Mitcham Village is a short walk with Stumps Restaurant and The Ed convenient for eating out. The current owners have enjoyed the sense of community and friendliness of the local residents.
