From the glow of fireside winter evenings to the relaxed allure of summer days by the pool, this expansive family sanctuary delivers a seasonal experience defined by sophistication and serenity. Expansive glass windows frame the outdoors, capturing the first light of sunrise and the soft blush of sunset. More than a home, it offers an unparalleled lifestyle, where indoor and outdoor living flow seamlessly, and family moments and entertaining coexist effortlessly.
The home, which has been cherished by the current owners for the last 25 years, offers a thoughtfully designed layout that fosters family connection while allowing each member the privacy and space they need. A formal living room with cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows and a leafy outlook sits privately at the home’s entry, its open fireplace enhancing the warmth and elegance of this inviting retreat. Adjacent lies the home’s nucleus, a substantial open-plan zone ideal for casual living and the day-to-day interactions that form the foundation of family life. This space features a generous family room with a nectre wood heater, a spacious dining area suited to both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining, and a gourmet kitchen designed with equal measures of function and flair. It’s features include a striking 4 metre Caesar stone benchtop complemented by 2-pack cabinetry, dual Wolf ovens and a Wolf induction cooktop, a fully integrated Miele dishwasher
and Liebherr fridge/freezer, a Vintec wine fridge, and a Billi boiling and filtered water tap; there is also a large butler’s pantry which includes a Fisher & Paykel plumbed fridge/freezer and European laundry facilities.
Completing the internal accommodation are five robed bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms featuring heater floors and towel rails and oversized walk-in showers. The master suite boasts a fully fitted walk-in robe and a private ensuite with a deep soaker tub, creating a haven for relaxation, while the central bathroom, servicing the remainder of the home, provides seamless access to the outdoor spaces. Additionally, there is a dedicated open study, plus a flexible downstairs living area, easily adaptable to your family’s changing needs across time.
While the home’s interiors have been superbly curated, the outdoor areas are equally remarkable, designed for those who live with the outdoors at the heart of their lifestyle. The north-facing landscaped backyard is anchored by two magnificent 50-year-old oak trees and a striking variegated elm. The boundaries themselves form a visual spectacle; framed by a 30-metre bay leaf hedge, elegant magnolias Portuguese laurels, and crepe myrtles, all of which contribute to the private and beautifully sculpted outdoor haven. Bifold doors open to a substantial timber deck designed for lounging and dining in unison, while a retractable electric folding-arm awning with wind sensor ensures comfort and usability regardless of the weather. Beyond the deck, a full-sized mod grass tennis court allows children to play freely, practicing their bike-riding skills, or enjoying an endless variety of ball sports. Completing this outdoor sanctuary is a sparkling freshwater swimming pool, framed by attractive paving, and heated year-round by a Madimack heat pump, making it perfect for leisure in every season; this sits alongside a steam and dry sauna and a private hot-and-cold outdoor shower.
A long list of additions further enhance this retreat-style property. Comfort is ensured year-round with gas ducted heating, zoned hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, and double- glazed windows for superior efficiency. Sustainability features include a large chook pen ideal for 6–8 free-range chickens, two water tanks, and discreet planter boxes ready for an edible garden. Practicality and versatility abound with two SteelChief storage sheds, one of which includes plumbing, electricity, a split-system, and a deep dog-washing sink, previously used for a home-based grooming salon. There is also parking for a caravan, boat, or trailer, and a double garage with internal access.
