Last Listing description (July 2019)
The architecture of Gary Willemsen has enduring appeal and this unique, free standing townhouse in prestigious Shackleton Park is no exception.
Renovated to the highest standard, the home is perfectly positioned for passive solar and full height windows capture ample natural light, bringing the outdoors in. In keeping with its Scandinavian design, a neutral colour scheme allows you to add your own splashes of colour to make it your own.
The split level design (only five steps from the lower to upper level) provides flexible living for the whole family.
The formal living area has access onto the front courtyard and the family room leads to a peaceful rear leafy courtyard, cool in summer and a cosy warm retreat in winter.
The kitchen features Smeg and Bosch appliances, glass splashback and a large stone-topped island with storage. The adjoining utility room is an outstanding feature - lined with cupboards, including a double pantry, it incorporates ample bench space for life's essentials as well as coat, boot and household storage.
The master bedroom is segregated and features an ensuite and built in wardrobes. Three bedrooms - two overlooking the pool - along with the main bathroom offer privacy and a tranquil retreat for family or guests. The study is located adjacent to the lounge room.
The transition from inside to outdoors is seamless with full-height double glazed windows and doors leading to the paved entertaining area overlooking the in-ground, salt water swimming pool.
As winter approaches the heating options are flexible - cosy up with a book and the slow combustion wood fire, go barefoot with the underfloor heating or switch on the wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner for a quick warm up.
Car accommodation is provided by a double carport with an integrated lockable workshop located to the rear.
With its elevated position at the top of the complex, the park-like surroundings, mature gardens and peaceful location all provide a unique opportunity for resort style living.
