This leads to a gorgeous and well proportioned formal sitting room with open fireplace and custom built bookcases. Leading off this room is the master bedroom, again with an open fireplace, with a fantastically designed Carrara marble and American oak ensuite with Villeroy Boch sink and toilet and spacious WIR that has its own window, giving it a great feel.

There are 3 further bedrooms, 2 having French doors leading out to a landscaped courtyard and a stunning limestone and American oak family bathroom with caesar stone bench top and Villeroy Boch sinks and toilet as well as a kaldewei bath with hand held shower and rinnai bath fill controls. The final bedroom boasts an artemide pendant and large french doors that look out on to a courtyard with mature Japanese maple trees. The current owners use this room as a sitting room as it has a stunning visual link to the remainder of the house, allowing the user to be both private and connected at the same time. Three bedrooms are carpeted with pure New Zealand wool carpets.

The end of the original house brings you to a glazed link with large formal basalt tiles that looks out to the above mentioned courtyard with the beautiful maple trees. This leads you through to the magnificent casual family pavilion area that never fails to impress as you take in the abundance of natural light and air, extra wide American oak floorboards, Carrara marble used in the kitchen for bench tops and splash back and the large windows overlooking the landscaped garden and sparkling fully tiled salt/solar heated pool. The kitchen is second to none, with miele appliances throughout, including a standard oven, a combi oven, a plate warmer and 5 ring gas hob. Also featuring an artemide pendant that provides lighting over the stunning island bench, two large undermount sinks, tap with extension hose and under sink water filter. The kitchen is serviced by a great walk in pantry that also manages to be beautiful! The living area has beautiful custom made joinery stretching across the entire back wall, designed to tie in with the joinery of the kitchen and desk, large picture windows that overlook the sparkling pool and a magnificent chazelle fireplace, a French combustion heater with a large glass door allowing the fire to be seen and enjoyed.

Double doors lead out to a large verandah, that has been lined with a beautiful wood finish, designed to continue the link with the house, with a gas point for the BBQ and large formal basalt paving ( to match basalt tiles in the glazed link), providing great outdoor entertaining all year round and again connecting the outside and inside. The large shed, architecturally designed to be picturesque from the house, provides space for all your tools. Hiding behind the large fig tree and lemon tree is a "secret cubby". Big double carport leads to a convenient back door lobby/mud room to drop school bags, handbags and sports gear etc. Monitored chubb security system with cameras, automatic gates and video intercom provide excellent security for the home. The fabulous laundry has caesar stone bench top, fully tiled splash back, a double under mount sink and a wall of storage cupboards that hide two large laundry baskets. An attic ladder provides access to roof storage of approx 40m square. The kitchen has its own instant hot water system, so as not to affect anyone using the bathrooms whilst using water in the kitchen. The glass in the extension is all comfort plus, providing great insulation and temperature control. The chazelle fireplace, imported from France and chosen for its outstanding efficiency, generates enough heat to warm the entire home, even on the coldest nights, whilst the two reverse cycle split systems in the large family room and the ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning system (zoned) in the original part of the home, provide a cool environment throughout summer as well as giving the option of heating the house without a fire.

The flow and design of this home are exceptional. As you wander through, you will realize that this home is a rarity, finished superbly with the best materials from door hardware to flooring, designed to work seamlessly as a home, with nothing left undone. As the photographer said;
"This is a one in 300 home!"

The closer you look, the more impressed you will be.
