A sweep of brick paving leads to a triple garage and deep, shady verandah. Double doors open to a wide entry hall with a media room to one side and an expansive principal suite to the other. <br/><br/>Marri floorboards carry your eye from the entrance to the centrepiece of this generous modern home; a massive, double-height open plan space. A pitched ceiling with apex windows, a chic kitchen with hi-gloss cabinetry in tonal shades and a wall of glazing connecting the interior living zone to a massive alfresco entertaining area fashion a home with a sense of grandeur and an impeccable indoor-outdoor design.<br/><br/>A timber staircase leads to a large, carpeted mezzanine with an apex window to one side and views across the central living zone to the sculptural forms of beams supporting the pitched roof sheltering the 15 m x 10 m deck. The kitchen occupies one corner of the open plan and features stone benchtops, an integrated breakfast bar, a 900 mm oven, dishwasher and a 5-burner hob. A walk-in corner pantry, ample cabinets and an understairs cupboard offer ample storage. <br/><br/>The main bedroom suite is arranged at the front of the floorplan, away from the activity of the shared living zone and separate from the junior wing. Soft carpets, views across the verandah to the lawn terrace and gardens, a walk-in robe and a fully-tiled ensuite with a double shower and a separate WC create a sophisticated haven.<br/><br/>In the separate junior wing, four large bedrooms with built-in robes and a central activity room give children of all ages space of their own, with the activity room delivering the flexibility to be styled as a fifth bedroom, a playroom for young children or a media/lounge for older kids. A fully tiled family bathroom, a Jack and Jill bathroom between two of the junior bedrooms and a separate powder are further proof of the considered design displayed throughout the home. <br/><br/>Views from the impressive deck sweep across the park-like backyard and tall eucalypts. With its elevated position, high gable roof and water and power connected, the deck almost doubles the home's functional living space offering a year-round venue for entertaining family and friends. Automatic reticulation keeps the lawns and gardens looking their best. <br/><br/>A large, powered workshop with a concrete apron is set to one side of the block, and a triple garage with shoppers' entry sits under the main roof. Arriving at the end of the driveway feels like discovering a secluded oasis. A lawn terrace edged with stone wall garden beds sits faultlessly against the backdrop of a stone-clad façade. This property has it all; refined style and spacious interiors create a sense of grandeur in a design that meets the reality of family life now and for decades to come.<br/><br/>To arrange an inspection of this property, call Cheryl New on 0439 961 192.
