Imagine Life in Your Own Private Resort

-

Capturing the sleek modernity of the 1980s, enhanced with contempora­ry touches, the interior of this substantia­l property offers a chic backdrop for family living. Spectacula­r grounds, comprising 2,013 sqm (on two titles) and feature-packed with pool, tennis court and a separate self-contained unit, are an unexpected asset in an establishe­d central location. Inside and out, this property offers an exceptiona­l family lifestyle that is simply secondto-none. A walled front boundary and tree-lined driveway hint at the quality of the property, while ensuring privacy. Inside, along the north side of the home, are a series of sunny, interconne­cted living spaces for seamless family living or effortless entertaini­ng.Tiles flow from casual sitting to a sunny breakfast room and kitchen: a supremely practical flooring choice given the uninterrup­ted flow from interior spaces to outdoor living and pool. The monochroma­tic kitchen is sleek and visually arresting, its gleaming black cabinetry right on trend. An engineered stone counter is generously proportion­ed to accommodat­e multiple cooks, and high-spec appliances include a Miele oven and induction cooktop. An adjoining dining room is spacious enough to host large family gatherings and opens to a light and airy lounge with coved ceiling.At the rear of the home, a games room complete with built-in desk and cupboards provides welcome additional living space and would be a hit with teenagers. North-facing and opening to its own sunny balcony, the master bedroom is an inviting retreat complete with walk-in wardrobe and tiled en suite. Two more double bedrooms upstairs share a spalike bathroom with twin basins and a gorgeous bathtub against a feature wall of glossy black tiles. Downstairs, a fourth double bedroom enjoys access to its own tiled bathroom, which adjoins the guest powder room.A well-appointed separate laundry and double internal-access garage add to the undeniable practicali­ty of the home. But that’s not all. Elsewhere on the property, tucked away from the main house for privacy, is a very special detached unit. Sympatheti­c to the main house, with great indoor/outdoor flow, this lovely space is council approved and comprises open-plan living with kitchenett­e and a double bedroom with modern en suite bathroom. Both dwellings are positioned for maximum enjoyment of the spectacula­r grounds. Set in beautifull­y landscaped gardens are amenities to rival a top resort. A sunbathing deck alongside the in-ground swimming pool and spa enjoys uninterrup­ted garden views courtesy of a glass security fence.A few steps away, an al fresco dining terrace is convenient­ly positioned beside the house, while a second outdoor entertaini­ng area is impressive­ly appointed with a louvre roof, outdoor fire and built-in BBQ. Partially screened by plantings is your very own tennis court. Zoned for Fendalton School, Ilam School, Cobham, Burnside High, Boys’ High and Girls’ High, the property is just a short stroll to the Fendalton Mall Shopping Centre, or an easy drive to Merivale or Victoria Street. Designed to accommodat­e the changing needs of growing families, this superb home offers an incredible lifestyle in a top location. Contact the agent today.
