"Everyone in Downer is so friendly, they always say hello to us on our daily walks" (Downer Resident, 2023).
The house is breathtaking, but you must see it in person to appreciate its full beauty, innovative design features and family friendly living. Looking out from the open kitchen, you gaze at timber decking that stretches to meet soft lawns, bounded by beautiful yellow roses and a wisteria draped arbour. Steeped in garden tranquillity and whisper quiet, this private haven is surprisingly central to all the dynamic offerings of the inner-north, just leave the car parked and walk.
This unique four-bedroom ensuite family home mixes sophisticated moody interiors with gardens that combine both relaxation and play. A palette of dark finishes and tasmanian oak timber floors add depth and texture as large windows and glass sliders welcome light into all aspects of the home.
The connection to the landscape strikes you as soon as you enter, as a wall of bankable glass doors open fully, welcoming the outside in. A slow combustion fireplace set in brick hearth is a lovely focal point and gathering spot on cool winter evenings, whilst in summer the doors can be flung open to welcome cooling breezes. The modern kitchen is all white on white with banks of storage and sleek stainless-steel appliances. Perfect open sociability makes for easy family meals, entertaining with friends, and drifting out to the deck.
The secluded master wing provides tranquillity and privacy away from the rest of the home. Dark cabinetry, black stone and glass combine with dove grey walls and tassie oak flooring to create a peaceful mood. The luxury ensuite features a rain-shower, beautiful glass bowl basin and daring dark floor to ceiling tiling. We love the openness to garden, with banks of sliders drifting deck-side and the glass brickwork that seems to hold the daylight.
Three further bedrooms are nicely placed at the opposing end of the home, maximising privacy. All bedrooms have excellent built-in-storage and leafy garden views, with bedroom three opening directly to a curated play arena and garden. All are adjacent to a stunning family bathroom making day to day living easy.
The peaceful deck and gardens merge to a gated playground creating a wonderland for both kids and adults alike. Beds of roses combine with productive vegetable gardens and an orchard of olives and grapes. A tree house sits within the reaching arms of a bountiful feijoa. Think dining alfresco with friends beneath the climbing roses, while basketball and ping pong keep the kids occupied for hours.
Set back from the street and screened by mature trees, the homes organic bagged bricked form blends with the surroundings. An open bay provides plenty of off-street parking and private driveway ushers to carport with automatic roller door.
