Occupying an expansive one-acre estate amidst rolling parkland-style grounds, this grand family retreat presents an exceptionally private lifestyle opportunity in a residence of enduring quality. Framed by sweeping manicured lawns, lush established gardens and a circular driveway, the impeccably maintained home offers an impressive blend of elegant formal entertaining and relaxed family living, complemented by breathtaking elevated views and outstanding future potential on a prized corner allotment (STCA).
Guests are welcomed into a magnificent formal living room, showcasing a soaring vaulted ceiling, a cosy Jetmaster fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing tranquil garden vistas. Adjacent, a generous formal dining room extends to a wraparound undercover balcony, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor setting for graceful entertaining and relaxed family gatherings.
Designed to harmoniously accommodate growing families, a spacious separate family room features a wall-mounted gas log fireplace, an inviting reading nook and a well-appointed wet bar, flowing to a light-filled casual meals area. Sliding doors open directly to the surrounding balcony, seamlessly integrating the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Beyond the home, the sprawling private grounds offer a remarkable family sanctuary. A substantial undercover entertaining terrace overlooks expansive rolling lawns with abundant space for backyard cricket, football and children's play, while beautifully maintained gardens showcase colourful roses, soaring palms, manicured hedges, productive fruit trees, an extensive vegetable garden and a mature olive grove.
At the heart of the residence, the generous timber kitchen offers abundant hardwood cabinetry, a breakfast bar for casual meals, and quality appliances including an updated stainless steel electric oven and grill, and a 900mm gas cooktop.
Also positioned on the ground floor, a substantial study provides excellent flexibility as a fifth bedroom for guests or multigenerational living, complemented by a convenient guest powder room and a full laundry with direct outdoor access.
Ascending to the upper level, magnificent panoramic outlooks create an exceptional sense of space and tranquillity throughout. The oversized master suite enjoys breathtaking elevated treetop vistas and features dual mirrored walk-though wardrobes leading to a spacious private ensuite with twin vanities and a deep soaking bathtub perfectly positioned to take in the spectacular outlook. Three additional light-filled bedrooms each include built-in wardrobes, with one further enhanced by a charming window seat, and are complemented by an airy family bathroom with a separate bathtub and a convenient separate toilet.
Additional appointments include ducted heating, solar panels, extensive under-house storage incorporating a powered workshop, and a remote triple lock-up garage with internal entry. A circular driveway and generous additional paved areas provide abundant accommodation for multiple vehicles, guest parking, or the storage of a boat, caravan or trailer.
