Proudly positioned in Winthrop's most prestigious and tightly held dress-circle, where homes are rarely ordinary and expectations run high, 17 Norton Ridge delivers something truly special.
Designed by award-winning architect Robert Spooner and built with precision by A Dibucci & Sons, this multi-level home gently steps down the block in perfect sync with the natural landscape. Just 200 metres from the tranquil surrounds of Piney Lakes Reserve, it has been meticulously maintained and beautifully renovated by its original owners-who, by their own admission, are delightfully particular about every last detail. Now ready to downsize, they leave behind a home that's not just exceptionally well built, but genuinely cherished-a one-of-a-kind property with soul, substance, and a level of care that's becoming harder and harder to find.
With a north-facing orientation and built on passive solar principles, the home maximises natural light and cross-breezes for year-round comfort. Double insulation-both anticon and fibreglass-adds further thermal efficiency, while the wide front verandah provides shade and a welcoming place to sit and relax.
Originally built for a young, growing family, the layout offers a rare sense of space, flexibility and separation. A dedicated children's wing includes two generously sized queen bedrooms-each with built-in wardrobes and study desks-while the expansive master suite features an ensuite and separate toilet. A fourth bedroom was designed as a nursery or study and now works beautifully as a home office.
The kitchen was renovated in 2017 and features stone benchtops, premium Siemens appliances, and a huge walk-in pantry. It flows into an open-plan meals and family area. A sunken lounge adds a second living space-ideal as a media room or retreat-while the high ceilings and wide central hallway give everything a bright, open feel.
All bedrooms have reverse-cycle air conditioning and built-in wardrobes that run floor to ceiling, and both bathrooms and the laundry were stylishly updated in the 2017 renovation. The home also features LED lighting throughout and thoughtful storage solutions everywhere you look-including a full-sized laundry, large double garage, and a workshop/store with built-in shelving and workbench.
The professionally landscaped gardens, designed by Peter Dean (Gardens by Design) and installed by Landmac Landscaping, include paved entertaining areas, two tranquil water features, garden lighting, and fully reticulated lawns and beds serviced by a bore. A freestanding gazebo with a built-in BBQ creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining, while the spacious front driveway offers additional parking for a caravan, boat or trailer.
