With its light-filled interiors, contemporary updates, and resort-style outdoor area, 49 Somerset Drive offers everyday function with a holiday feeling.
The Home
A home of balance, beauty, and brilliant function, 49 Somerset Drive delivers family comfort, contemporary updates, and outdoor allure. Set across two light-filled levels and constructed by Bellevale Briarnella Design, this thoughtfully renovated residence has been designed with modern living in mind with a sparkling pool, multiple living spaces, and a triple garage for all your lifestyle needs.
From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless façade and manicured hedging set a refined first impression. Step through the timber door and you'll find bright interiors layered with quality finishes: warm floorboards underfoot, soft downlighting overhead, and plantation shutters adding privacy and polish.
The renovated kitchen is a white-on-white showpiece, complete with 40mm marble stone benchtops and matching 20mm "Cotton Ice" stone in the pantry and laundry. Sleek black fittings and a walk-in pantry enhance both form and function, while the large breakfast bar invites connection over morning coffee. A servery window makes entertaining effortless, flowing seamlessly to the dining and living areas that open to the outdoors creating that easy synergy between inside and out.
When it's time to unwind, there's room for everyone. Downstairs, an inviting media room with feature wall panelling sets the scene for movie nights or weekend sport, while upstairs a generous second lounge provides flexibility - a peaceful retreat for parents, a play space for kids, or a studio for creative pursuits.
All four bedrooms are softly lit and beautifully appointed, with the main suite offering extra indulgence. Step onto your private balcony with a morning cup of tea, or enjoy the serene ensuite's black-and-white palette and luxurious fixtures. The main bathroom continues the theme of understated elegance, complete with a freestanding tub that turns every soak into a ritual.
Outdoors, the appeal only deepens. An expansive alfresco zone sits beneath dual shade sails, overlooking the approx. 15,000-litre solar-heated fibreglass magnesium salt pool a private haven for lazy summer afternoons and family barbecues. Established gardens and a secure yard keep maintenance low and enjoyment high, while the triple garage with drive-through access caters to hobbyists, tradies, and anyone craving extra storage or workspace.
Eco-conscious families will also appreciate the 7.7kW solar system with a 10kW storage battery (grid-tied) reducing energy costs while maximising efficiency and sustainability.
49 Somerset Drive is polished, inviting, and ready for the next chapter of family living to unfold.
