Every element of this elegant property has been masterfully curated to create a dream family retreat. Crafted in 1996, the residence was designed as a character home and showcases captivating period details throughout, including lead lights, timber joinery and brass fittings, which are complemented with a suite of luxurious modern must-haves.
The two-level, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is built in a U-shape around a central courtyard and water lily pond, which creates a series of well-separated areas to relax and reset. All rooms showcase snapshots of the exquisitely landscaped 1200m2 grounds, which have been designed in a quintessential English style. Sweeping flat lawns are framed with manicured hedges, bursting with hydrangeas and white roses. The flourishing orchard includes macadamia nuts, olives figs, limes, oranges and mandarins.
That perfect balance of beauty and functionality has been achieved inside, with the classically elegant, Hamptons-style aesthetic creating an inviting, relaxed feel. Brick floors are cool in summer and warm in winter, while crisp white walls and ceilings enhance space and light. The impressive entry foyer flows into the open-plan kitchen and dining space on one side and the library/ piano room and formal lounge on the other.
The master suite on this level has a walk-in wardrobe with custom cabinetry, as well as a bathroom with an outdoor cast-iron bath for soaking under the stars. The other large bedroom on this level also has its own bathroom and outdoor access - making it the ideal teenage pad, au pair accommodation or home office premises. There are two more bedrooms upstairs, one with its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
There are plenty of alfresco entertaining areas amongst the gardens and the separate cottage has been fully lined and wired for internet - perfect for working from home.
This is an incredibly private property. It's enveloped within well-established trees and protected by an automated security gate, with off-street parking available for up to seven cars. It's part of a tightly-held Roland Road neighbourhood, loved for its proximity to the local shops, water and plentiful parks and reserves.
Lush gardens, captivating character and a spacious, flexible floorplan make this this the ultimate family sanctuary.
