Last Listing description (July 2017)
PRICE REDUCED to SELL
As natural as the blue canopy stretched out above it, this excitingly different home is a very special treat.
If you're looking for an elegantly composed property with all the distinctive hallmarks associated with a vive le difference property you'll need to be quick off the mark to secure this absolute delight.
The inspirational 4 bedroom plus study home's natural persona stems from its construction of storm Colorbond, timbers and polished concrete terrazzo floors. To enhance the thematic naturalism of the home all of the windows and doors consist of double glazed cedar panels, and a semi dry constructed Bluestone wall was inserted as a primary design feature in the open plan living area. The stand-alone textural impact of this wall is amazing.
Designed as an upmarket family home there was tremendous focus applied to the home's modern functionality and liveability.
The kitchen is an absolute delight.
Its array of attributes that include bespoke soft close cabinetry and stone bench tops is effectively crowned with a fabulous STOVES cooker with 3 independent ovens and 7 induction hot plates, plus a 90cm drawer dishwasher.
For the ultra-busy family there are 2 ensuite bedrooms in addition to the bathroom. These 3 wet areas and the laundry have been finished in stone tiles and custom cabinetry.
Every good family home has a living nexus, and this one's no exception. The central living area's feeling of sheer volume stems from its high raked ceilings and abundant spread of windows that permit light and air to plunge into this core living space.
With the home being positioned towards the rear of the 1.7ac block there's plenty of utility space to add a future pool and tennis court to the north. Currently, the block is sectioned into neat garden beds and lawns, with the entire boundary being established with privacy screen trees.
Essentially, this is a beautifully expressive property. It's impossible to miss either the thematic naturalism of the property, or its elegant appeal. Whilst it's ideal for a family group, it would equally suit an entertainer couple that like to have guests stay over for a country weekend.
