Last Listing description (August 2016)
Note to visitors for inspections: Please park on Shackleton Circuit as there is very limited parking within the estate.
Number 7 of 44 Shackleton Park occupies the pinnacle position in this prestige estate. The estate is a showcase of lush, mature gardens and upon arrival the townhouse more than lives up to expectations.
Open, airy, lovely mountain views are to the direct north. The wisteria-covered pergola is glimpsed through the sliding doors in the family room, a direct transition to the terrace where you will be sure to entertain throughout the year. Notice the calm ambience in the spacious living, dining and study area as you take in the delightful outlook to the adjoining reserve.
Large format windows, square-set ceilings and passive-solar features are the Willemsen hallmark, all beautifully showcased throughout this home. The location is within easy access of the city, shops, galleries, entertainment and hospital, but here, there is always the feeling of being completely in the country.
The roomy kitchen features excellent appliances, a long and wide island bench, generous pantries and drawer-style storage, crockery cabinets and book shelving. The family room with custom-built wall unit and the meals area occupies the rest of this wonderful open-plan living space.
The main sun-drenched bedroom, has a walk-in robe, renovated ensuite and dressing area with vanity.
Two other bedrooms, separated from the main and close to the family room, perfect for children or guests, have built-in robes and share a renovated bathroom.
To truly appreciate this property, simply experience it. Buyers are invited to come and enjoy this modern-contemporary home to appreciate the many features offered within.
