From the wide central hallway, 3 generous bedrooms include original marble fireplaces, custom joinery and plantation shutters. The master forms a luxurious haven with French doors opening to the elevated balcony overlooking the enchanting garden. The opulent designer ensuite is more like a living space, and boasts a marble fireplace, tub, and penny round blade wall concealing shower and WC. To the rear of the home, a contemporary wing incorporates two further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, perfect for guests or teens.

The sumptuous lounge is a sophisticated retreat. Reflecting pendant lighting, a feature wall of silver-leaf emits a soft glow with instant gas fire and marble topped cabinetry beneath. Working from home will be a pleasure. Sliding doors conceal the private home office complete with calming garden views, built-in workstations and bookshelves to the ceiling.

The architectural extension is bathed in warmth and light from windows that frame the rear garden. The focal point for family and guests is the long island bench that intersects kitchen and meals incorporating caf-vibe banquette. Sunken living is surrounded by glass, with north facing bi-fold doors opening to alfresco entertaining on the poolside deck.

The home takes full advantage of its glorious surrounds. Designed by renowned designer David Baptiste, the captivating and much admired garden compliments both period and modern elements. Symmetrical formal hedging and lawns lead to meandering paths, informal beds and shady nooks. A terraced rear lawn is edged by mature trees, pretty plantings, fruit, citrus, and raised herb and vegetable beds. The area is large enough to accommodate a tennis court if desired (STNCC). The sparkling solar heated pool and adjacent dining deck are nestled between the house and these tranquil surrounds.
