From the formal areas through double doors which can be kept open for a vast entertaining area or closed to separate the formal and informal areas, you enter the kitchen, meals and family room. Once again, the kitchen, meals and family room is well proportioned and benefits from the easy care chestnut wood flooring which makes family life and entertaining a breeze. The family meals area can accommodate a large dining table and looks out to the pool area. The kitchen overlooks the large family lounging area and the rear garden.

The kitchen is well designed for ease of use, fully equipped with the added bonus of a walk in butlers' pantry and the benchtops are easy to maintain light coloured stone. The kitchen has plenty of bench space, under bench storage, above bench shelving and display cabinets, two stainless steel sinks, tiled splashback, a ILVE 1m gas cook top and side by side ovens underneath, stainless steel rangehood, built in wall convection/microwave oven, dishwasher, breakfast bar, concealed stainless steel compost bin and space for a double door fridge. The butler's kitchen also has two stainless steel sinks, a built in under bench pull out fridge drawer, additional under bench cupboards and over bench shelving.

The meals area, kitchen and family room overlook the swimming pool and barbeque area. Off the family room, through double doors is a spacious theatre room, which is carpeted to minimise noise to other parts of the home and can accommodate plenty of comfy seating and large TV screen. Alternatively, this can be used as a playroom for younger family members. The family area has direct access through double glass doors to one of the two alfresco areas with outdoor kitchen, rear garden and swimming pool.

Off the main entrance the large guest bedroom is carpeted for comfort has an ensuite bathroom and built in wardrobe and benefits from two windows looking out to the front garden. The ensuite bathroom has a shower with glass door, ample storage under the vanity basin and stone benchtop.

The built in linen, broom cupboards and laundry chute are tucked away in the side hallway which leads to the very large home office, powder room and laundry.

If you run your business or work from home, the very spacious office has its own solid private entry door from the side of the house and can be isolated from the main house with doors keeping home and work separate. With its own powder room at the rear of the office, there's space for two desks on opposite sides of the room (this could be a two person working area), marri wood flooring and looks out to the front garden through wood plantation shutters. Alternatively, as this room is generously sized, it can be used as a 5th bedroom.

The wooden staircase with wood and ornate iron balustrading lead to the upper level where one can relax and get away from it all. Another well sized sitting area with views over the Swan River, the ocean and out to Rottnest, has a kitchenette and wall display cabinet. Two double doors leading to the balcony beckon you to watch the colours of the sunrise shimmer across the river, watch the sunset or to look at the stars and ponder, a great place wind down at the end of the day. The balcony has a seating area with high wooden lined ceilings.

Enter through double doors to the luxurious carpeted master bedroom with balcony, ensuite bathroom and dressing room and be impressed. There's plenty of room for a king sized bed, a couple of large armchairs or chaise lounge to relax in after having a soothing soak in the spa bath. Enjoy the views of the rear garden from the L shaped balcony directly off the master bedroom. The light and airy ensuite has a spa bath, shower, his and hers basins with plenty of storage underneath and a closed off WC. The dressing room has enough room for his and hers attire, from ball gowns and tuxedos to everyday lounge wear.

Also on the upper level is another retreat or private study with access to the balcony that is shared with the master bedroom. This retreat can be used as a hobby room, another study area, gym or a nursery. The choice is yours.

Two more bedrooms on the upper level are carpeted with built in robes and views to the front of the home. The family bathroom has a double vanity with stone bench, bath and separate shower. The powder room is conveniently located next to the family bathroom.

A safety gate separates the patio area outside the family room to the swimming pool. The heated swimming pool can be used all year, has plenty of seating/lounging area and the added bonus of a concealed pool blanket that can be retracted into the paving when not in use. All the pool equipment is cleverly hidden from sight.

The sheltered alfresco kitchen with cathedral ceiling has a built in barbeque, stone bench top, stainless steel sink, weather blinds and plenty of seating area. A great place for entertaining all year round.

The laundry has both wall and floor cupboards and lead to the utility area.

The mature rear garden has plenty of shade during the summer months and a grassed area to play boules, cricket and enough space to put a trampoline to tire out the little ones.

The design of this home has taken the orientation of the block into consideration to take advantage of passive natural heating and cooling and shelter from other elements. However, should a boost of cooling or heating be required the home has reverse cycle air conditioning.

This home has all the attributes of luxury living with an eye to detail that make living and entertaining a pleasure.
