Cheers, Prost and Up your Kilt

You’ll be celebrating in style when you purchase this amazing 3-bed, 3-bath family home on the water’s edge of Perulpa Bay, looking out to North Stradbroke Island.<br/><br/>Newly renovated throughout with quality finishes and state-of-the-art technology, you can’t help but fall in love with this immaculate abode. 10 Kilto is nestled at the end of a country lane, butting up to hectares of conservation-zoned land and fringed by the calm waters and sandy shore of Perulpa, on Macleay Island.<br/><br/>The majestic gates open on command and the surveillance cameras capture every move, making your privacy and security a priority. A gravel driveway leads to a carport for two vehicles, with plenty of room for larger vans, boats and other toys.<br/><br/>A wide bank of timber steps coax you up to the welcoming front verandah, through the double-entry doors of the modern charcoal-upon-ash facade and inside this comfortable home. Or, if you’re wet from your morning kayak, you can hang your towel on the line, take the ramp and enter via the mudroom cum laundry.<br/><br/>No matter how you arrive, you’ll be amazed by the azure-blue vista stretched before you, while admiring the never-to-be-built-out panoramic view. It’s been said, dugongs, turtles, dolphins and fish all favour this cove and come to play in the safety of this secret haven.<br/><br/>Do not expect a typical project-style home with beds one end and living the other. This home has been designed with the living zones in the centre and bedrooms flanked either side; surrounded by deep timber decks for all-year outdoor living.<br/><br/>From the main entry, a spacious Hamptons-style gas kitchen takes centre-stage with its oak benchtops, pressed-metal-look tiles and island bench, complete with wine fridge and SMEG 6-burner free-standing range.<br/><br/>With lots of white cabinetry, clever storage spaces and pull-outs, there’s a guaranteed spot for every kitchen gadget. Even the multitude of power points have USB outlets for all-sized technology (iPhone, android, camera, laptop etc.) making it the ‘hub’ of the home.<br/><br/>An open-plan dining and family room complement the kitchen area, making it an ideal place for gatherings or catching-up while preparing meals. A few steps down and you’re in the enormous sunken-lounge entertaining space with Masport fireplace and raked ceilings, surrounded by glass-sliders opening onto a choice of decks.<br/><br/>Chic 3-blade fans with remotes, give this room a lofty feel and sense of lux. But you’ll be drawn to the alfresco dining deck, complete with ceiling fans, shade blinds and an outdoor kitchen to make entertaining a breeze, while taking-in the spectacular water views from this vantage point. <br/><br/>The deck to the North is where the summer action happens, as part of the decking can be removed to reveal a sparkling submerged, ‘above-ground’ pool, which can be covered-up again, when not in use. Imagine the pool parties and fun times you’ll create with family and friends, enjoying the outdoors on a sun-bleached day or balmy evening.<br/><br/>The list of internal features is endless:<br/>• New electricals, ceiling fans and air-con throughout<br/>• Freshly painted, top to bottom<br/>• Floor-to-ceiling toughened & insulated glass to decks<br/>• Wainscoting detail to hallways and entry<br/>• Specialty tiles to all bathrooms and laundry/mudroom<br/>• Midge-screen to all doors and windows<br/>• Valet ducted-vacuum system<br/>• Timber floors to main living areas<br/>• Expansive decks with wide views<br/>• Outdoor kitchen on main deck<br/>• Slow combustion fireplace & secret wood chute<br/><br/>The master suite, to the North-side of the home, has smoky vinyl floors with striking midnight-blue walls. You can feel the opulence in the quality drapes, sliding-door to your private deck, air-con and walk-in-robe that’s large enough for a nursery or study. Then there’s the ‘ensuite’, with freestanding bath and separate rainwater shower; Hamptons-style 1200mm vanity; back-to-wall rimless toilet; full windows for the view; and sea-foam-coloured floor tiles kissing a mermaid-blue, fish-scale feature wall, creating a relaxed floating sensation for your day-spa experience.<br/><br/>Bedroom 2 is also located at this end. It’s queen-sized and has an ensuite with feature penny-rammed tiles, in a restful sage and milk-thistle colour combo. The laundry/mudroom completes this side of the home and has Moroccan-style feature tiles, coat-hooks, overhead drying-rack, space for a dryer, laundry-tub, storage and provides alternative access to the outdoors—handy for dirty boots, if coming in from the yard.<br/><br/>Bedroom 3 or the guest-room, can be found in the South wing, past the kitchen. It has air-con, a private deck with view, a walk-thru robe (study) to a large ensuite with modern penny-rammed feature tiles above the vanity and crisp-white floor tiles, all framed by timber blinds for added warmth. It’s very spacious and offers two-way access which is convenient when entertaining.<br/><br/>Enjoy the morning sunrise over Straddie as you dream of how you’ll shape this already perfect family home into your permanent retreat. You could add a studio downstairs as a private office or art-space, or perhaps include a granny-flat on one of the terraces for extra income. <br/><br/>Outside, there’s tons of extras to note:<br/>• Surveillance cameras with remote access<br/>• Electronic security gates<br/>• Digital intercom system<br/>• NBN connected<br/>• Side-access to rear of property for launching boat<br/>• Pool with decking over<br/>• Handrails and balustrades all replaced to code <br/>• Room for outdoor studio/entertaining area <br/>• Under-house storage with plumbing and power connected<br/>• New full-septic and trenches<br/>• Outdoor shower<br/>• Solar power<br/>• Water tanks<br/>• Raised garden beds & greenhouse for seedlings<br/><br/>Amble down to your waterfront via the terraces and take a gentle stroll to the nearby sandy beach. Or put your feet up and relax in a hammock while watching the kids build a treehouse, knowing they are secure in your fully-fenced yard (yes, even the coastline is gated and fenced at the high-tide mark). <br/><br/>There’s plenty of birdlife in this backyard, with a black cockatoo habitat adjacent and a combination of native trees and tropical varieties providing an open-buffet to the local wildlife.<br/><br/>Life is good here.<br/><br/>This quiet oasis will be the forum for stargazing nights around the fire pit; cosy picnics on the lawn with the kids; and water sports in your backyard providing bay-access at high-tide. Offering many Kodak moments for birthdays and special events, this magical waterfront will be a permanent backdrop to all your memories.<br/><br/>Get the champagne chilled and raise a glass to making this quality residence your forever-home.
