They say not to judge a book by its cover, or real estate by the frontage. Forget that, this home is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. From the road, passersby on Terrace Road see a strikingly well presented, freshly painted home surrounded by hardwood paling fences, established hedges, and landscaper-designed gardens. These high quality exterior elements provide an accurate depiction of the liveability, style and ingenuity that pervades the interiors.
Light-filled and north facing, the elevated residence is set on 1798sqm and is ideally positioned to take in the fine vantages offered in the Hawkesbury River region from a height. The new owners will watch the sun setting over the Blue Mountains to the west, view the patchwork of paddocks leading to the Richmond township and lowlands below, and enjoy seeing The Hills district to the east. The whole south wall of the dwelling is glass; allowing residents to catch extraordinary scenery as they undertake everyday tasks.
A wave-shaped roof structure invites in extra natural light. Clever use of contemporary fans and in-slab heating ensures that waking, even in winter, is a predictably pleasant part of the day.
The green thumb in the household is about to discover a whole new level of efficiency. The manicured gardens and buffalo lawns, extensive hedging, a vegetable plot and mature trees are all irrigated with remote controlled pop up sprinklers connected to an app informed by the same weather data received by the nearby RAAF weather station.
Inside, entertaining has been thoroughly catered for with a spectacular, broad and well-appointed kitchen under 15ft vaulted ceiling complete with high-end finishes, as well as the expansive open-plan indoor dining space flowing out to an equally sizeable outdoor covered deck, and the addition of a sound-proofed, fully-equipped home theatre for downtime.
App-connected and high-tech security, sound, irrigation and communications systems have been cleverly interwoven into the property providing a connectedness and convenience few homes in the Hawkesbury region offer.
This home marries digital automation and deliberate design to deliver stunning vistas and ultimate liveability.
