3 levels of living with a lift amongst glorious gardens.
Just 1.6km along Waterfall Gully Road is the former winner of the 1981 house of the year, an architectural masterpiece spread over 3 levels, with massive amounts of accommodation, glorious gardens and the ideal home office/consulting rooms which could be easily adapted to a self-contained wing for the regular visitor, extended family or growing teenager. Obviously modernised and updated since its original build, this impressive 'tree house' has a four person lift, multiple entertaining spaces, 4, 5 or 6 bedrooms, large bathrooms and powder rooms for the largest of families. Every inch of the 1,096sqm block has been utilised so there's no wasted land here which includes a large flat lawned area, meandering pathways amongst landscaped gardens, a big covered deck and a private pizza oven garden in a grotto style. This would be a great place for the kids to grow up with so much to explore and discover.

Great Outdoors ...
- you can't see much of this substantial home from the street, but you can see the lush gardens and green back drop where fence lines blend into the landscape creating a sense of openness
- the unmistakable sound of the running creek echoes throughout the front yard
- landscaped, irrigated and extensive garden lighting make the grounds a pleasure day or night
- behind a secure fence is the grotto style pizza oven garden with timber bench setting underneath the shady trees making warmer weather celebrations cooler and more comfortable
- a large flat lawned area has beautiful dry stack retaining walls and shed to store the lawn mower, badminton net and cricket gear. This is a safe fenced space for the younger family members to enjoy well away from the open creek setting throughout the front yard
The not so obvious ...
The detail is everywhere in the house ... decorative timberwork throughout, multiple air conditioners on all levels, lots of big windows with leafy outlooks from all rooms, some wall mounted televisions remain and ever changing gardens to work rest or play in ... PS, look for the red stained glass on top of the lift well and whether you can see a crocodile somewhere in the kitchen!
