Originally designed and constructed by an owner-builder, this gorgeous family home, has been lovingly tended and held by just two owners. Cleverly designed with an eye to light and spatial balance - separate parents and children's areas are centred around kitchen and deck - the home feels open, orientated toward landscape. Flooded with daylight and with high ceilings, double windows and beautiful symmetry, goldner.home, has a spacious, minimal, classic style and fabulous flow.
Resting on a quiet loop-street, goldner.home, exudes idyllic childhood vibes - kids riding bikes, running from house to house, visiting friends - and the clean lines of the brick facade, twin garages and simple front porch, further the homes classic leanings. The striking desert-style landscaping - sculptural pines grow among beds of gravel, requiring little water, withstanding the sun - has an iconic edge that could be furthered by the addition of an array of succulents.
Inside, the home is beautifully preserved, open, airy with a lovely neutral palette and clever floor plan. Two wings, very much interlock around the central kitchen and the wonderful rear deck.
Character filled, with gorgeous original features - timber drawer pulls, retro counter top, easy-care vinyl flooring - the kitchen is a warm, utilitarian space, with views to the backyard, and is very much the central hub of the home.
The parent's wing consists of sequestered master bedroom, with en-suite and built-in-storage, overlooking the front garden and connecting to the open living and dining. Double, full-height windows, flood the living, dining arena with light, and with seamless flow to deck, the sense of space doubles, and outdoor dining is perfectly integrated.
On the opposing side and opening to the kitchen, a trio of children's bedrooms, all with built-in-robes, centre around a second, large family or rumpus room. This lovely space, opens to deck and landscape, bringing the outside in, encouraging play and interaction. The children's wing also includes a family bathroom and internal laundry. The rumpus could become a study area as the children get older, with its beautiful quiet ambience and leafy outlook.
The raised deck looks out to trees and sky and over the extensive, private garden. There is plenty of room here to dine alfresco, enjoying time with family and friends, while the kids play on the flat lawns or explore the established garden. With easy-care, edged beds, a variety of plantings, mature trees and raised vegetable garden, there is lovely detail and variety here, and plenty of space for kids play equipment. This large, verdant space also gifts a peaceful stillness - a haven away from the hassles of modern life.
