Some homes have an outdoor area. This home has been designed around an entire way of life.
Beautifully renovated inside and out, this substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom residence brings together generous family living, considered design and an exceptional connection between the home, gardens and recently installed heated swimming pool.
At the heart of the property is an impressive north-east facing outdoor entertaining space that feels like a natural extension of the home. Expansive doors open the living areas to the outdoors, creating one large environment for family gatherings, weekend lunches and long summer afternoons by the pool.
Adding to the year-round usability is an electric retractable awning positioned over the outdoor dining and entertaining area. Extend it during the warmer months for additional shade and protection, or retract it through winter to allow the north-east sunshine to fill the entertaining area and home. For added peace of mind, the awning is designed to automatically retract in high winds.
It's easy to picture the kids swimming in the recently installed pool, heated via heat pump, while friends gather around the entertaining area and food comes directly from the butler's pantry through its cleverly positioned servery window. It's a small design detail that makes a big difference - keeping food, drinks and entertaining outside while helping to keep wet feet from constantly coming back through the house.
The kitchen continues the home's premium feel, complemented by a butler's pantry and an impressive oven and cooktop package valued at approximately $16,000, while a separate media room provides another space for the family to retreat and unwind.
Outside, the owners have created more than just a pool and entertaining area.
A beautifully crafted garden sitting area provides a quiet place for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, surrounded by outdoor lighting, established greenery and flowering trees and hedges. Despite the lush appearance, the landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to remain remarkably low maintenance.
Add a hobby garden, new fencing and carefully considered improvements throughout, and the result is a home that feels established, private and ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.
