There is a lovely lightness and generosity to gymea.home. Large picture windows frame views to beautifully planted gardens and open living spaces flow to sunny deck. The simplicity of layout, form and ideal central placement within the leafy block creates an experience of perfect balance. Handily located close to shops and surrounded by bird and bee loving, sunny gardens the home gifts a wonderful lifestyle, an elemental sense of peace.
Modernist in style - low-pitched roof extending to carport, timber fascia and full-height timber windows - the home's satisfying clean lines imparts timeless appeal. A towering magnolia shelters and shades, and beautifully planted curved garden beds, border soft lush lawn. To the right a private driveway ushers through a roller door, providing protected off-street parking, with lockable storage for garden tools.
As you step into the open social arena, you are presented with clean sightlines to the rear garden, offering an infinite feel. There is a pleasing volume and simplicity, allowing for an agile flexibility of configurations, accommodating living, eating, work and play. The paired-back palette of white painted walls, easy-care timber look flooring lends functionality and grace. New German engineered, double glazed windows through-out, boosts the thermal and acoustic performance, bestowing a sustainable edge.
Banks of white cabinetry, soft close drawers, veined countertops, subway tiled splashback blends crispness and texture, packing a design punch within the compact kitchen. A warm-hearted family hub, the kitchen overlooks a cosy second living/meals' nook, graced with gentle light via full-height window, framing the picturesque front garden.
At the end of the house two sequestered bedrooms, are separated by a central walk-through-laundry, sleek family bathroom and separate toilet. Both have built-in-wardrobes for seamless storage, painterly vistas to landscape and a serene inward focus born out of perfect symmetry, elegant simplicity.
A large pin oak shades the large flat lawn area. Carefully thought-out plantings provide splashes of colour between the productive raised garden beds, including a magnificent bounty of strawberries. The simple deck is the perfect northerly stage for alfresco dining with family and friends or sun-bathing with a great book. There is plenty of room here for soothing respite, celebration and restorative communing with nature.
