Peace and privacy

-

Atenure of 16 years in this peaceful Cashmere property is coming to an end for its current owners as they most reluctantl­y concede that it is now too big for their current needs.

That means all this space, set within private, fully fenced grounds, is now on the market in this sought-after area.

At 268 square metres over two levels, this well-planned home offers all the space a large family could need, with a flexible configurat­ion that gives the new owners a whole lot of options on how to use that space.

Ideally suited for large or blended families, this attractive brick and cedar home has versatilit­y built into the design, from being able to include a guest wing for an elderly parent or visitors to accommodat­ing those wishing to work from home or incorporat­e a large living or games room for teenagers.

Currently, the home is configured as five double bedrooms, with the fifth a supersized version of the double, three well-appointed bathrooms, including an ensuite, separate laundry, an office and two living areas.

You can add to this a superb designer Palazzo kitchen that offers more than the usual amount of space to cater for large families and entertaini­ng guests, with the central island bench and bar area the perfect spot to gather, enjoy a glass of wine and catch up with all the news.

Storage has been equally well planned, with a combinatio­n of cupboards and deep pot and platter drawers contributi­ng to a sleek, contempora­ry aesthetic.

The two living rooms both open to the well-establishe­d grounds which include a large hardwood deck, water feature and a large spa pool set within its own gazebo to provide year-round relaxation.

This large outdoor entertaini­ng area greatly expands the already sizeable amount of space offered inside.

The larger of the two living rooms allows the whole family and friends to gather while the second living area makes for an ideal media room or somewhere to which you can retreat and enjoy some muchneeded quiet time.

Quiet time and future proofing was also very much in mind when it came to planning the layout of the bedrooms, with the main bedroom on the ground floor with a luxurious modern ensuite and enviably well-fitted wardrobe.

There are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor, and upstairs, two more double bedrooms including the oversized bedroom with a good-sized bathroom in between.

The office has been convenient­ly placed at the entrance of the home making this property well suited for those working from home, allowing clients easy access without having to traverse the length of the house or impinge on family areas.

While you’re waiting for spring to roll around again, you get to live in comfort courtesy of the double-glazing, insulation and the combinatio­n of gas and electric heating.

The natural light, sun and space throughout this home is emphasised with the large picture windows giving rural and bush views.

As the property is fully fenced, this home is ideal for those who want to give younger children and
