Gracious, spacious and cul-de-sac located, the White House offers timeless beauty in the location of a lifetime. Styled with an eye to timeless design, this substantial five bedroom plus home office, 2.5 bathroom home is designed to adapt across a family lifetime with smartly zoned accommodation, substantial multi-zone living and sun-filled poolside gardens.
Sized to fit a big entertaining lifestyle with ease, this rare beauty opens with a fine formal lounge extending discreetly to a quiet business-at-home office, before lighting up with room to lounge and dine in a lofty northerly family zone beneath a soaring skylit roofline and stretching wide with flexible multi-purpose room - ready to adapt from playspace, to media-lounge, to hangout zone across the years.
Offering the ideal family floorplan with a grand ground-floor master-domain extending from plantation-shuttered bedroom, to bespoke-fitted walk-in robe, to a large and luxurious ensuite, this considered design has upstairs as a first-floor children's level. With a smart separate-facility family bathroom and romantic robe-fitted, dormer-windowed bedrooms centred on a versatile landing, this dedicated level is flexible with a super-sized fifth bedroom easily reimagined as a kids' lounge.
Endlessly family-functional against a backdrop of fine Hamptons-inspired style, there's a premium Fisher & Paykel appliance kitchen graced with a traditional farmhouse sink and a sizeable butler's pantry with its own barn-doored farmhouse fittings. Styled with simple stone benchtops, solid Blackbutt floors, and custom joinery (extending to walk-in and built-in robes and bedroom cabinetry), the home's authentic beauty is grounded in its late-period origins.
With an impressive open-fireplace for each of the principal living zones and lofty ceilings rising to a towering vaulted-ceiling at the rear, this centrally heated and cooled home has individual reverse-cycle climate control to most rooms (including every bedroom), cooling ceiling- fans, and extensive triple-glazing to enhance climate-control. Secured by an alarm and Smartphone 5-camera CCTV, the home is set in a lush formal landscape of tall liquid-ambers, manicured hedges and lush lawns with a sparkling freshwater pool (with magnesium-filter and heat-pump) in the garden's sunniest spot, and parking behind secure gates.
Just three blocks to St Finbar's Primary School and a dash to the Hawthorn Road tram to De La Salle and the eastern suburban schools, this pure white beauty will illuminate your life with equally easy proximity to Bay Street and Church Street shopping, easy access to the central Brighton schools (Firbank and Brighton Grammar) and access to tightly-zoned Gardenvale Primary School.
