Last Listing description (January 2019)
INSPECTION AVAILABLE BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT
Breathtaking in scale, style and substance, this magnificently modern 5 bedroom masterpiece flows freely over a variety of memorable indoor/outdoor living spaces. Architect-designed with precision and purpose-built for family engagement, the home cleverly balances the need for seclusion and shared space over two levels of luxury.
Opening up beyond a robust facade, the positive impact from street level is undeniable. A ground-floor guest bedroom and fully tiled ensuite comes complete with integrated cabinetry, desk and walk-in robes, while a fully wired formal living/media room with gas log fireplace is the ideal spot for a family to connect or slip away for some quiet time.
From here, the seamless blend of the internal and external creates a real sense of occasion with an opportunity to drift outside to an instantly impressive exterior capturing northern sun. Recently pieced together by the celebrated Franklin Landscape and Design, embrace a genuine feeling of warmth and inclusion beside a stone gas fireplace, built-in BBQ on natural mains gas, and a simply spectacular heated pool and adjoining terrace. This triumph of spirited design will be enjoyed intimately or with large numbers of friends and family.
Back inside, gallery-inspired, open-concept living and dining pivots a sleek Smeg and Caesarstone kitchen. Framed by imposing walls of openable glass, this remarkably roomy space is the perfect spot to entertain or relax.
Head upstairs to the remaining 4 bedrooms, and a private retreat/study takes care of home office duties. The luxe main bedroom boasts a concealed dressing room and a tempting twin-vanity ensuite with private WC and shower, while the other trio of bedrooms all contain built-in desks, serviced by a sumptuous bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles, standalone bath and walk-in shower.
Comprehensive features of this stunning home include an easy-care lawn and low-maintenance garden with automated drip-watering, a remote-controlled 2-car garage featuring internal/external access, ground-floor powder room, remote-controlled external shutters on front windows, Holland blinds, ducted vacuum, and so much storage. The property is further enhanced by state-of-the-art video surveillance, security, and individual climate-control units in each room.
Defined by strong, sweeping lines from top to bottom, everything about this home feels right from the soaring ceilings to the ease of automation, but beyond all the grandeur, an understated simplicity and refinement demands attention. All this and the opportunity to walk to leading schools, the beach and Bay Street s shopping, trains and cinema. Inspect with the whole family!
