Built by renowned builder Robert Tuksar and designed by Rob Pickett Design, this Thurgoona residence sits on a sprawling 1967m² block, with quality and craftsmanship evident throughout - Porter's paint inside and out, with a Porter's Mineral finish to the front pillars, formal lounge and western elevation, eggshell interior walls in Lambswool, frosted glass interior doors and a custom Merbau front door.
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged across two living areas - a formal lounge with a gas log fire and surround sound, and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen with a zero clearance wood heater and skylights overhead. Spotted gum timber flooring runs through the main living spaces, and New Zealand wool carpet through the bedrooms, with a Mitsubishi 3-phase ducted system (zoned to the office and formal lounge) plus individual bulkhead-mounted Mitsubishi splits in every bedroom keeping the whole house comfortable.
The kitchen matches the rest of the home for quality, with French blue two-pac cabinetry, an 80mm stone island bench and 40mm stone benchtops elsewhere, a walk-in pantry, a Neff oven and cooktop, and a Schweigen range hood.
The main bedroom is a private retreat with a dressing room, spa ensuite and direct access to the pool and alfresco; the remaining three bedrooms share a study and a second bathroom with powder room.
Outside, the alfresco area is built for entertaining, with a Ziegal & Brown outdoor kitchen - BBQ and side burner, rangehood and drinks fridge - plus ceiling-mounted heaters, overlooking an elevated, above-ground concrete mineral salt pool finished in glass mosaic tile and heated by a wifi-enabled 28kW heat pump, with sweeping district views.
Beyond it, gardens designed by Andrew Plant Designs, with a full watering system, are anchored by a circular fire pit with gabion stone seating and a lit pergola. A triple garage - currently set up as a home gym - and a separate 9m x 6m Colorbond shed with two 3.5m high opening doors take care of vehicles and storage, backed by a 15.2kW solar system, 25,000 litres of rainwater storage, security cameras, a video doorbell and a My Place smart home system.
