Abode
Originally conceived with the distinctive architectural flair of McGlashan and Everist, this timeless residence has been transformed by a spectacular renovation combining architectural sophistication, exceptional craftsmanship and considered landscape design.
The renovation by Watson Young, construction by Occman Homes and landscaping by Stuart Robinson create a residence of enduring character, seamlessly attuned to contemporary family living.
At the heart of the home, a magnificent Golden Beech tree, planted in 1967, anchors the romantic central courtyard around which the elegant spaces unfold.
Across its dual-level floorplan, five bedrooms and five bathrooms provide exceptional accommodation, with each space thoughtfully zoned for privacy and comfort. The dedicated master wing forms a refined private retreat, complemented by beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms.
Sophisticated living, dining and entertaining spaces centre around a superb kitchen with butler's pantry, Miele oven, steam oven, speed oven and dishwasher, induction hob, Qasair rangehood, integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge, freezer and ice maker, and Zip tap. Caesarstone surfaces and Scandinavian Flooring timber floors add warmth and refinement throughout.
The beautifully appointed pool house provides an exceptional setting for entertaining, featuring an alfresco kitchen with Miele oven and dishwasher, integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and dedicated bathroom, overlooking the landscaped gardens and swimming pool.
A dedicated study/home office, zoned heating and cooling, split systems to the pool house and upstairs bedrooms, and a gas fire in the front sitting room ensure flexibility and year-round comfort. Security is assured with alarm, back-to-base monitoring and CCTV, while three-phase power, electric gates, automated sprinklers and three dedicated hot-water services further enhance functionality.
Every element has been considered to balance timeless architectural character with contemporary family living, creating a residence of remarkable scale, quality and distinction.
