The gates open and the driveway keeps going. By the time the house appears you are well off the street.
The ceiling climbs to 4.4 metres over the living room and a single run of fixed glass spans its length, no tracks and no frames, so the north facing pool reads as part of the room. There is a cocktail and music room off the living area and a butler's pantry behind the kitchen. Ten for dinner is a Friday here, not an occasion.
Then the house empties out, and it does something else entirely.
Ask ten buyers what they would do with the upstairs and you will get ten answers. Parents. A carer, when the time comes. The eldest home from uni with a partner. Or nobody at all, because after thirty years you have earned a floor of your own. It is a complete home in itself, with its own lounge, kitchenette, balcony and ducted air, and the lift that reaches it is certified to carry a wheelchair. Downstairs there is a second master suite, and the larger of the two ensuites is that one.
Nothing has to be sold to move in. Three covered car spaces, one of them a carport built for a caravan or a boat, and room on the driveway for whatever else.
All of it on 758 square metres of freehold, one of around 150 homes in Runaway Lagoons that sit outside a body corporate.
Most homes ask you to choose, and to know exactly who you will be for the next ten years. This one does neither.
