There is something particularly special about a home that captures the warmth and character of an established Turramurra residence, yet was purpose-built from the ground up for the way we live today.
Rather than renovate and adapt an older home, the current owners started again less than 20 years ago. Their vision was to create a beautifully crafted single-level residence with the character and sense of permanence of a classic home, alongside the comfort, proportions and practicality of a contemporary build.
The result is a distinctly contemporary Australian country home with modern farmhouse influences. Weatherboard character, gabled rooflines, warm timber floors and established gardens give it a timeless quality, while inside, beautifully maintained interiors feel remarkably fresh.
What you immediately notice is the scale, light and sense of space. Wide hallways and substantial rooms create an openness rarely associated with single-level living, while the home's considered north and north-easterly orientation brings beautiful natural light into its principal living and entertaining spaces.
At its heart, an exceptionally generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area captures the morning easterly sun and wonderful northern light. Wide bi-fold doors open onto a substantial entertaining deck with retractable awning, while a separate family room connects to the same outdoor environment - creating one expansive entertaining zone, yet plenty of separation when needed.
Four generous bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with the master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the remaining three bedrooms each include built-in wardrobes. Thoughtfully positioned away from the family room, the master also enjoys a greater sense of privacy. The oversized living spaces provide ample opportunity for additional study or work-from-home zones without sacrificing a bedroom.
Outside, the entertaining deck overlooks a private garden, level lawn and swimming pool. A genuinely oversized double garage comfortably accommodates two cars, with a cellar and substantial roof/attic storage adding another level of practicality.
Despite its peaceful, almost country-like setting, South Turramurra's shops, cafés and IGA are approximately 300m away and Auluba Oval around 100m, with excellent local schooling and easy access to some of the Upper North Shore's most highly regarded private schools.
For families wanting space and separation, or downsizers seeking genuine single-level living without downsizing their lifestyle, this is an increasingly rare combination.

"What we love about this home is that it wasn't an old house renovated for modern living. The owners started again, building from the ground up to create effortless single-level living with all the warmth, character and soul of an established home. Under 20 years later, imagine what it would cost to recreate today. For us, that's what makes this such a rare find."
