***VIEWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY***
Set on a prominent corner block, this thoughtfully updated home offers a rare combination of contemporary comfort and beautifully designed outdoor spaces. With a garden inspired by Japanese landscaping, complete with cascading ponds, water features and year-round plantings, the property is as much a retreat as it is a residence.
The entryway leads to a segregated fourth bedroom or study, followed by the formal living area where bi-fold doors open directly to a shaded entertaining terrace. A separate rumpus room provides additional living space and connects to the wine cellar, while also offering internal access to the garage.
As you continue, the home has been carefully renovated to suit modern living. The showpiece kitchen, designed and installed in 2021, features vaulted ceilings with automatic windows, 40mm engineered stone benchtops and splashback, and premium German-made AEG appliances including an oven/steamer and integrated microwave oven. Blackbutt timber flooring continues through the kitchen, dining and hallway, complementing the home's fresh paintwork.
The main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, split-system heating and cooling for year-round comfort, as well as a corner view of the beautiful landscape surrounding the home. The master bedroom is attached to a renovated ensuite, while two additional bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom, both stylishly updated with a marble vanities, tiled finishes, and thermostatic shower mixers. A well-designed laundry with updated fittings and exterior access completes the interior.
Outdoors, the home unfolds across a series of beautifully crafted spaces. Bi-fold doors extend the dining area onto over 80m² of slate paving, shaded by a sail and framed by lush greenery to maximise the usability of the space. A side deck with a wisteria-draped pergola, multiple entertaining zones, large privacy-hedging wrapping around the outdoor spaces, a vegetable patch and an automatic watering system ensure the garden is both purposeful and maintainable.
The landscape is a true point of difference. A cascading water feature flows through ponds on the upper level before reaching large ponds on the lower terrace, illuminated by evening lights. Plantings include elms, Japanese maples, camellias, ornamental pears, irises and fruit trees such as apple, apricot, fig, cherry and bay.
The home is completed with a single, lock-up garage featuring an automatic door, with the option to reinstate a double by removing the workshop/cellar space.
Positioned within walking distance to Cooleman Court and close to schools, shops and transport, 1 Sheaffe Street is a home of substance and distinction, offering both convenience and an exceptional lifestyle.
