Tucked away in a quiet, elevated pocket of Blackbutt, 23 Echidna Place is an architecturally designed masterpiece that offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and creative character.
Set on a substantial 803m² block, the home is framed by meticulously landscaped gardens featuring beautiful mosaic art, creating an immediate sense of peace and exclusion from the outside world.
This is a residence designed for those who value space, versatility, and the ability to entertain in a private, tranquil setting.
The upper level of the home is defined by light-filled interiors and high-quality compressed bamboo flooring that lead to a generous, updated kitchen. Thoughtfully designed for the home chef, the kitchen features premium Caesar stone benchtops, a gas cooktop, and an abundance of cabinetry. The layout flows naturally into the formal dining and living room, which open onto a wide verandah.
From this elevated position, you can enjoy a morning coffee while taking in serene views across the lake and toward the ocean horizon. Three spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a beautiful bathroom with a large corner spa bath and a large, functional laundry complete this level.
The ground floor serves as a versatile retreat, perfect for multi-generational families, long-term guests, or a premium work-from-home setup. This self-contained style space includes a fourth bedroom, a second living area, a dedicated kitchenette and a bathroom.
Outdoors, you will find an impressive entertaining hub, with an undercover alfresco area, complete with a built-in BBQ, offering the perfect vantage point overlooking the sparkling saltwater concrete pool and the surrounding private gardens.
Adding to the property's immense appeal is a separate studio, currently utilised as an art space, offering the perfect sanctuary for hobbies, crafts, or a home office.
Practicality is a hallmark of this home, with a double garage and significant additional parking space specifically designed to accommodate boats, caravans, or multiple vehicles. A garden shed provides extra storage for tools and equipment.
Located in the highly sought-after suburb of Blackbutt, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the Illawarra lifestyle. Nature lovers will appreciate being moments away from the lush trails of Blackbutt Forest Reserve, while the vibrant Shellharbour City Centre and Stockland Shopping Precinct are just minutes from your door.
