With the picturesque walking trails of Linear Park right on your doorstep and its abundance of local birdlife, brisk early morning walks or sunset strolls could easily become part of your daily routine.
Beautifully positioned at the end of a quiet cul de sac this homestead style home has been designed with entertaining on a grand scale in mind. Enormous rooms and the soaring 3 metre ceilings throughout enhance the feeling of space. The excellent floorplan allows for the bedrooms to be located away from the living areas.
Constructed entirely of solid bluestone on the exterior the quality of the home is immediately evident as you approach the wide shady elevated verandah. Enter into a wide entry foyer-the entrance door is framed with gorgeous leadlight panels. To the right is the huge family room complete with wet bar. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the verandah which is ideal for relaxing and sipping cocktails on those balmy evenings whilst perhaps catching a glimpse of the local fauna. The family room leads into the kitchen/living and dining room. Also of huge proportions this room opens out to the paved outdoor entertaining area. The kitchen will delight the fussiest of cooks with its huge food preparation areas, granite benchtops, quality Miele appliances and the abundance of cupboards. Stunning Baltic floorboards feature throughout the living areas and hallway.
Three spacious bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for the family. The master suite features a large walk-in dressing room and stunning ensuite with double vanity and deep spa to soak the stress of day to day living away. With a heritage feel the main bathroom with granite vanity has two-way access to bedroom two. Even the laundry is larger than average with extensive storage and granite benchtops.
Combining understated traditional elegance with modern amenities such as ducted reverse air conditioning, security system and remote controlled garage with direct entry into the home which can accommodate up to four vehicles.
Upon taking a leisurely walk through the automatic fully irrigated manicured gardens you will notice that the botanical setting is surprisingly low maintenance. Strategically placed at the top of the garden the all weather rotunda looks proudly upon the sweeping lawns and the peaceful garden.
With its idyllic bushland setting you'd be forgiven for thinking that you have left suburbia behind-yet you are only minutes to major shopping centres, hospitals and schools. This is a rare opportunity in a prestigious location.
