Expansive Estate Living with Enviable Privacy

A gracious family estate crowning a blue-chip cul-de-sac, this approx 19,795sqft/1839sqm property comprises a substantial solid brick period home, separate self-contained poolside accommodation and breathtaking formal gardens encompassing a tiled gas-heated pool and spa, a lit synthetic-grass tennis court and at least five-car auto-gated parking including a vast carport.

Designed to maximise aspects to intimate garden spaces at every turn, the property totals six bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and four living zones - with a grand ground-floor master-suite, robed and desk-fitted secondary bedrooms (one easily doubling as home-office) and independent child or au-pair accommodation in a charming vaulted-ceilinged pool pavilion - ideal as teenager retreat adjacent the al fresco area.

With sophisticated formal lounge and dining rooms (each with court views and a gas-fire) and relaxed family living-dining (with pool outlook and an open-fireplace), the home is both expansively entertaining and fabulously family-friendly with a window-wrapped north-westerly "garden lounge" bridging inside and out, and quiet kids' living with adjacent "toy-room" upstairs.

Rich with period detail including distinctive leadlight, wide bow-bay windows and intricately decorated ceilings, the home is renovated to the highest standard with textural American Oak floors, glossy Emporite paintwork and impressive marble fireplaces. Starring a CaesarStone and Miele kitchen with integrated Liebherr fridge plus an Electrolux and stone BBQ kitchen for the al fresco area, the main home showcases state-of-the-art style with sleek fully-tiled bathrooms featuring freestanding baths, a plantation shuttered dual vanity ensuite ...even a glamour powder-room!

Climate controlled by zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning, sound-wired for entertaining and secured by alarm, 4-camera CCTV and video-intercom entry, the home is both impressively presented and enviably private within its bore and tank watered grounds. A walk to Dendy St beach and a saunter to Church St, stations and schools, this is a family estate of rare grace, grandeur and contemporary liveability.
