Behind the charming lychgate, picket fence and bluestone façade is an expansive family home of impressive proportions and effortless comfort. A spectacular 2021 renovation has introduced a bright modern design aesthetic and extended floorplan that is a showpiece of contemporary luxury and spacious sophistication.

Nestled in an idyllic garden setting in a peaceful and tightly held eastern enclave, the property takes full advantage of its sunny north facing rear aspect and lifestyle location close to premier schools and popular shopping hubs.

Stepping inside, one immediately sees how special this home is. The entrance hall with high ceilings, timber fretwork and stained floorboards, hints at distant living and the sunny rear garden beyond.

The floorplan is highly flexible and offers various living spaces and up to five bedrooms if desired. Three of the bedrooms include built-in robes, with a fourth hiding a walk-in robe behind a blade wall – perfect for the teen or guest.

The sensational master suite with a bay window overlooking the front garden boasts a concealed walk-in robe and huge ensuite with double vanities.

Two further bathrooms include a large family bathroom with a fabulous custom-made bone inlay vanity and an egg-shaped tub.

The spacious floorplan continues to cater for the large brood, with a dedicated study including a built-in workstation; plus an enormous living room with a wall of shelving, wine display racks, and sliding doors that open to a pergola.

Expansive open plan living and casual meals capture the sunny northerly rear aspect and garden views.

The kitchen is custom designed with the family entertainer in mind, with a central engineered stone bench, and black joinery housing a range of high-end integrated Miele appliances. Hidden from view, a massive pantry/ laundry seamlessly mirrors the design and becomes a virtual extension of the kitchen.

Sliders expand indoor living to the outdoors for all year round entertaining, with a decked platform large enough for lounging and dining edged by a lillypilly hedge.

Outdoor entertaining stretches effortlessly down to the solar heated mineral pool and spa, and adjacent lawned garden room.

This glorious private garden oasis is studded by exceptional plantings that include manicured hedging, and a range of prolific fruit trees including espaliered specimens. A clipped lillypilly hedge cleverly creates a divide between the pool and lawned play area, whilst pleached pittosporum provide a backdrop that tricks the eye’s sight lines by borrowing landscape from gardens beyond.

The location of this property is outstanding, within walking distance to St Peters Girls and Wattle Park shopping hub, and only minutes from The Parade, Burnside Village, Penfolds Magill Estate and hills trails.
