Last Listing description (July 2020)
The sandstone bungalow with a villa footprint steps into the 21st century in the most high tech of ways, then welcomes every season - and reason to throw a party - to its extended north-facing rear with alfresco pavilion, custom heated pool, spa and all.
A pretty picture from its wide, tree-lined street; one of the more beautiful bungalow facades we've seen suddenly makes way for one of the widest hallways you'll find, forging a clear path - and view - past large original rooms, all the way to the Maple tree house of its designer backyard.
Extended and fully renovated in just 2012 and partially again in 2018, its evolution from character home to classy, solar-powered crowd pleaser is now complete across four big bedrooms, a formal lounge/home office and open-plan living.
Lofty ornate ceilings, polished Baltic pine floors and colourful leadlight piece together a faultless original section - this time elevated by a gargantuan main bathroom upgrade and the master's ensuite and walk-in robe.
The extension's herringbone laid parquetry floors, fireplace and custom floating Hulsta joinery give just a hint of the handcrafted quality - and expense - imparted on its top-to-toe transformation. With its thick stone tops, multiple Miele appliances and mountains of storage, the kitchen is no exception.
It all spills out onto the decked pavilion with potential for an outdoor kitchen; an elevated view of the glass fenced, fully tiled mineral pool and spa; surround sound; and a 6.5mx4m projection folding awning that shades the pool with a press of a button.
And that's the point; pushing a button (or pulling the iPhone from your pocket) is all that's needed, whether you want to control the ambient temperature, close blinds, turn on the spa, change the volume, light up the rear yard, water the gardens, dim the lights and set the mood. Go on, press it.
