Sight, sound, smell, touch and taste - make sure you bring all of your senses to this extraordinary home on the upper slopes of Pearce because they're all likely to go into overload.
The feast for your eyes starts as soon as you arrive, with glorious northerly views from the kerbside that stretch across the valley towards Black Mountain, while your ears are sure to recognise the leaves rustling, the bird songs and the quiet. The smells belong to the roses and superb foliage surrounding the property, while the touch is all part of the flourishes dotted around the landscaping such as the Japanese Zen gardens at the rear. And finally the taste is what awaits inside - a superb, naturally relaxing interior unashamedly designed to monopolise the views and maximise your whole family's lifestyle.
The home's entry reveals a superb lower living room in warm hues and textured walls, radiating out to a decadent sunroom, a master bedroom and ensuite as well as an additional large bedroom along the eastern edge. Just upstairs is the home's real heart - a dining room, family room, outer deck and magnificent kitchen forming a close-knit grouping of everyday needs. The kitchen includes an island bench, beautiful bench tops and classic cookware with windows to the views from three vantage points. Meals can be served in the formal dining area on cooler evenings or enjoyed just outside on the covered deck on warm Summer nights, lazing around on soft furnishings and soaking up the breathtaking light-show.
The family sleeping quarters link off an upper corridor - two inviting night-chambers separated by a fabulous bathroom and the last of the home's five bedrooms completing the tour over near the home's front entrance.
But it's probably the rear yard where you'll hear the biggest sighs and guarded whispers among other hopeful buyers - it's a gently sloping plunge leading to a large in-ground pool that looks too good to be real, all surrounded by lush gardens, trees and stone retaining walls. But then it all starts to make sense when you understand that the current owner is a professional landscaper who has prided himself on the planning, nurturing and layout of his family's personal retreat.
Standing on the grass cushioned lawn and looking back over the pool towards the home's regal outline, it's hard not to weigh up all of its advantages. Off-street parking that would cater for ten vehicles with ease, first-class landscape surrounds and a blissful home interior.
Let the final decision be guided by the only sensation you have left intact - it's just common sense.
