Carve your way through the blissful landscape along the meandering driveway and arrive at a home so captivatingly beautiful and wonderfully functional that, once you call it “home”, you'll spend a lifetime here.
In fact, it's those two words - beauty and function - that sets this home apart from the rest. Beauty in the manner in which it captures the natural light, the way it interacts physically and visually with its scenic surrounds and how it's presented, with polished Tasmanian Oak parquetry floors to the vast open-plan living, gas log fireplace to the formal lounge and striking stone waterfall benchtops to the modern kitchen. And as for function, it's the intelligence of the design, with no wasted space, living areas interconnected for seamless flow and crafted with a focus on family and a passion for entertaining.
Family is most certainly at the heart of this warm and welcoming home, evident in the smart yet expansive open-plan living, which offers separate areas for individual retreats yet is open and united so that all members of the family can comfortably co-exist in the same space without getting in each other's way.
The glamorous nature of the gourmet kitchen is sure to please, and with a built-in Miele coffee machine, stainless steel appliances, stone splashback, plenty of storage, built-in appliance cupboard with pull-out drawer and integrated fridge, it's clearly a stage for the cook of the home to shine.
A lengthy wraparound entertaining deck embraces the scenic environment and makes for a wonderful area to dine with family and friends beneath a star-lit sky, and when the kids play on the lush lawns or splash about in the enclosed ionised swimming pool, take a seat amongst the towering leafy trees at the top of the property and feel any tension in your body simply melt away.
Ensuites to all four extra-large bedrooms truly means those days of long lines forming outside the bathroom door are well and truly over, while a versatile dining room with its own private courtyard lends itself to a host of options, from a spacious rumpus to a home media haven.
This feature-packed home also boasts a large store room, separate laundry, remote four-car garage with internal access and rear roller door, Japanese-inspired landscaped gardens, two gas ducted heating units, central cooling, four split-system heating and cooling units, three-metre high ceilings, central ducted vacuum, 31,000-litre total water tank capacity, large shed and remote front gate.
Peacefully located along the prestigious Oakland Drive precinct within a short distance of parks, The Pines Shopping Centre, trendy eateries, Warrandyte High School and bus services.
