The Luxe Life

A custom design and bespoke fit out have united to create a unique property, which really is breathtaking. Ross Whiston welcomes you to 4 Mallard Place, Hewett.<br/><br/>Built in 2016 by Rossdale Homes but with the finer landscaping details only just completed, this property takes bespoke styling to the next level, with the owner not only collaborating on the design but using his commercial background to craft some elements of the fit-out.<br/>The split-level home uses the different tiers to create spaces within an open plan format, which maintains a seamless flow throughout.<br/><br/>The home opens into a wide entry with a walnut floating floor, with the master bedroom to the right enjoying a small verandah which overlooks an open courtyard.<br/><br/>Behind the bed is what can only be described as a dressing room, with soft close drawers to the cabinetry, a lever to access a high hanging space and a section of mirrored cupboards.<br/>Adjacent to this a window looks into the ensuite, with its silver wattle vanity, imported Italian tapware and striking black and white freestanding Lanark bathtub which commands attention in the room.<br/>The black and white theme continues with the tiles, while the timber vanity adds a contrasting warmth and a 300mm rainhead shower accentuates the luxurious feel.<br/><br/>Back out to the entry and the next floor level is set up as a music zone - but it could equally serve as an open home office or even a library or reading area.<br/>Just a few steps down from here is the main inside level of the home, with the family living and luxurious kitchen in the centre.<br/><br/>Continuing the contemporary and dramatic colour scheme, the kitchen is a statement in style, with 100mm Statuario marble bench top, black cabinetry and a feature section of the same walnut floating floor that's been used vertically on the back wall.<br/>It's almost impossible not to run your hand over the chunky front bench top, which is accentuated by the sleek stainless steel double sink in the centre, while the back wall is home to an Omega 900mm under bench oven and 900mm Fisher & Paykel gas cook top.<br/>If this kitchen doesn't inspire you to start cooking, there's a good chance nothing will!<br/><br/>Continuing the theme of beautiful timbers, the living room features heavy Tasmanian Oak in-built shelving, so you won't need to wall mount the big TV, this space has a feeling of connection with both inside and outside - and is the ideal central meeting zone for the family.<br/>The wing to the left of this space houses two additional bedrooms, both with built-ins and one with its own study bench and bookcase, ideal for the older student of the house.<br/><br/>There's also a three-way family bathroom with stone vanity and glass bowl, and more Italian tapware, this one with a clear section inside the spout, which shows the water travelling down. Who would have thought you could have a water feature in a tap. (Think uber cool).<br/><br/>In the other wing on this level is a bespoke home office with extensive cabinetry and a media room which is destined to be both the envy of your friends and the location for all future football viewing - thanks to a raised platform, Tasmanian Oak features and a bespoke Western Red Cedar feature on the viewing wall, which leaves room for a projector picture. BYO projector and prepare to text your friends.<br/><br/>Just when you think the luxury must come to an end, stepping outside starts all that amazing detailing over again when you walk over the tiled entertaining space. <br/><br/>If your jaw doesn't drop when you see the sunken lounge area with seating for 18 then you've clearly been living the high life too long.<br/><br/>At the other end of this space a concrete built in barbecue zone, crafted by Rock Solid Concrete Solutions is part bench/bar and part work of art. While you'll need to bring your own Beefeater barbecue, the zone is definitely fixed and the tinted outdoor blinds are likely to be handy in the warmer months. Did someone say cocktail party?<br/><br/>Even out in the tiered garden, among the newly laid dwarf Kikuyu turf, the attention to detail is evident, with the top of a thin retaining wall doubling as a succulent garden in the centre of the lawn. Wow.<br/>Other plantings have been picked for their low maintenance and drought tolerance, so you can spend more time enjoying the property and less time looking after it.<br/>Outside, aside from the garage, the concrete driveway extends down the side, offering double off-street parking, always handy.<br/><br/>Aside from the beautiful home, the owner has enjoyed the close-knit community and friendship of the neighbours.<br/>There's so much more we could write about this amazing property but if clean contemporary lines appeal and quality counts then please come and inspect!<br/><br/>Land Size: 1476m2 (calculated)<br/>Easement: Yes<br/>Local Government: Light<br/>Zone: N - Neighbourhood\\<br/>
