This spectacular timber split-level home is sprawled over multiple levels oriented for natural light and to take advantage of the lush and leafy aspects of its 1742m2 allotment. Originally purchased as part of an enclave for the Latvian community, this striking chalet style home has had contemporary enhancements over the years to create a residence of unrivalled character and distinction with white timber lined ceilings contrasting beautifully with wooden staircases and bannisters and hardwood floors creating a warm, earthy ambience. Combining an open and airy style that flows throughout each level with an immediate connection to its treetop landscape via alluring wrap-around decks, the timeless nature of the design delivers an enduringly modern lifestyle amidst quiet, private surrounds.
On the lower level, a spacious family/dining zone brings style and substance with its glass doors to the deck ensuring the panoramic treed vistas are optimized. A sublimely modernised kitchen displaying banks of clean, white cabinetry and grand timber island bench for communal conversations and casual meals is framed by luxe Caesarstone benches and a stunning 900mm black and steel freestanding cooker. Further appeal is added to this heart-warming space with a charming wood fire.
Multiple outdoor entertaining decks that capture every available aspect and light hug the home with access from all living areas and bedrooms. Step out from the family room and down to an undercover alfresco zone highlighted by an outdoor spa. Ideal for entertaining family and friends or relaxing in the day bed, this is a fabulous area that allows you to extend your living space in the warmer months.
Four sizeable bedrooms all with robes are positioned on the middle level (two with ensuite effect to the family bathroom), while the other bedrooms utilise the downstairs bathroom. All bedrooms here have direct access to the wrap around deck. The lofty skylit master suite is on the very top floor with clever his/her walk-in robes built into the gables and an open ensuite that will leave you feeling like every night is spent in a 5-star hotel. There’s enough space for a lounge retreat or a home office and you can even catch glimpses of the city skyline from your private balcony with your favourite vintage in hand. A cosy study nook or reading area on an upper landing, plentiful storage and a large utility/laundry room with attached third bathroom complete the main home.
Further living exists separate to the main home in the form of a quaint self-contained studio/cottage warmed by a Coonara style wood fire with ensuite, kitchenette and loft bedroom along with split system comfort making it ideal for use as a home office, guest accommodation or teenage retreat. With NBN fibre to the kerb and a GigaBit high speed wifi internet connection between the house and studio/cottage makes video streaming and work a breeze from anywhere on the property.
The enormous 8.9m x 6.9m sandstone garage, with concrete floor and power located at the entrance can only be described as a grand affair with exposed timber beams ready for a mezzanine level to be added. Here you can house multiple cars along with plenty of off-street parking for boats, caravans or trailers in the driveway.
Additionally, you will find an outdoor laundry and toilet servicing the cottage, wood storage, hydronic heating and split systems for seasonal comfort, new window furnishings, freshly painted throughout, rainwater tanks and vast under-house storage which can also be used as a second garage.
