Set amongst the serene bushland backdrop that is Wybalena Grove, this beautiful home is a truly unique offering - the only residence in the complex with its own private pool. The northerly aspect allows sunlight to spill across the water and interiors, while the end-of-row position backs onto the reserve and green space beyond.
Designed by the renowned architect Michael Dysart, this award-winning mid-century enclave is nestled quietly into 30 acres of native bush, embracing sustainable living. The carefully curated layout reveals itself over three levels, all awash with light.
Informed by the natural surrounds, the calming colour scheme draws the outdoors in, accented by the rich hues of hardwood and sage green in the kitchen and bathroom. The living and dining area is one easy, open space with custom storage and a bright and airy feel that is immediately inviting.
Three steps lead to the stylish green kitchen featuring a breakfast bar overlooking the bush. Outside, a pool awaits, with a paved area for lounging poolside in the sun. Upstairs in the main bedroom, a mezzanine area with skylight provides additional space, and a sliding door opening to a sunny balcony where mornings begin among the treetops with coffee and birdsong.
A second bedroom with a walk-in robe shares the upstairs area along with a lofted study, comfortably tucked beneath raked ceilings and with a leafy outlook. Downstairs, the considered palette carries through to the fully renovated bathroom and laundry, creating a beautiful sanctuary.
The bush is your neighbour, where you can wander from the front door into Mount Painter Reserve or take the Bicentennial Trail beyond. Imagine starting the weekend with a walk, then ending it lazing by the pool. Families are well placed, with quality schools and the university all close by, along with the much-loved Cook shops and Jamison Plaza. This is a rare pocket where bushland seclusion and everyday convenience combine. Wybalena Grove is more than a home; it's a sought-after enclave that encourages community togetherness, whether it's gathering around the communal pizza oven, enjoying a game of tennis, or watching the kids play in the playground. A lifestyle retreat in the heart of Cook.
