Last Listing description (March 2022)
As electric gates close quietly behind you, the 9 private acres on which 176 Ilkley Road is positioned welcomes you to a world of tranquillity and sophisticated style. This property is certainly a cut above the rest and the contemporary design is stunning in both ambience and proportion.
The home is an entertainer's dream, with the open plan family area that flow seamlessly to a huge north facing deck and pool terrace, which overlooks the picturesque gardens and a rural landscape.
The well-equipped kitchen including stone bench-tops, induction cooktop, dishwasher and walk in pantry is perfectly positioned to ensure those charged with meal preparation are well rewarded with garden and pool views.
The impressive parents retreat which includes walk in robe, ensuite, freestanding bath, shower and double vanity guarantees that you will always leave this space rejuvenated.
The children will naturally gravitate to the rumpus room, however when it's time for study they will enjoy the ability to work in peace at their dual workstations before retiring to the bedrooms within their designated wing.
Guests will appreciate their specifically designed area which provides both luxury and privacy.
When it's time to unwind with the latest movie or favourite TV series, the spacious media room is complete with surround sound home cinema system.
Nothing has been overlooked in the design of this residence with ducted zoned air conditioning, ceiling fans, Crimsafe screens, wool carpets to bedrooms, children's dual study zone, bamboo flooring and so much more.
All bathrooms are well-appointed and bathed in a contemporary colour palette and all bedrooms include built in robes.
For those who work from home, you too will be spoilt with the option to spread out in the expansive office overlooking a garden vista.
Light and airy living in the dining, lounge and covered alfresco areas are all further complemented by the combination of natural hinterland views and delightfully landscaped gardens. The pebblecrete in-ground pool with frameless glass and aluminium fencing becomes one with its natural surroundings and will be a hit with family and friends over long hot summer days and balmy evenings. The alfresco deck is also perfect for large family gatherings.
When the weather starts to cool down, the beautifully crafted stone fire pit is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the hinterland.
While the main residence has so much to offer this is just the beginning.
Only a short stroll from the main residence sits a detached weatherboard cottage which was extensively renovated in 2018. It offers enchanting views of a gentle grass slope, dams and native bushland. With open plan living, kitchenette, bathroom and split unit reserve cycle air conditioning, this is the perfect destination for guests or a weary traveller. The cottage has been utilised for AirBNB and has been well received by visitors, consistently receiving excellent reviews and Superhost status, with guests marvelling at the peaceful oasis on offer.
A large, metal clad shed with 3 phase power is located on the property which accommodates parking of 6 vehicles. Designed with extended eves and a huge front awning, it becomes an ideal workstation for those summer afternoons. Separate detached 2 car garage is also conveniently positioned at the main dwelling.
While it is easy to feel like you are in a world of your own on this property, it is still conveniently located only minutes to Buderim, iconic coast beaches, private schools and the Bruce Highway. A 15 min drive to the Sunshine Coast Airport, a 50-minute drive to Brisbane airport or a 3 minute drive to the Eudlo train station and cafes, which will ensure a convenient start to the day.
There is an extensive suite of features that a home of this calibre offers, further enhancing value, appeal, and liveability; and the best way to truly appreciate them is to inspect this very special property. This is the property you don't want to let get away so call Kathryn Willshire on 0437 434 648 to arrange a private inspection.
