Stylish, spacious Khandallah stunner

TENDERS CLOSE on August 15 for a stylish, spacious Khandallah home with stunning harbour views and extensive easy-care indoor-outdoor living.

The five-bedroom, threebathroom house, at 19B Kabul St, was built in the 2000s on a 454-square metre section near the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac.

It has a board-and-batten exterior, with a curved iron roof, and 262 square metres of multilevel living, including an internal-access double-garage with loft and additional storage.

A landscaped path leads to a front door that opens into a lightfilled interior with a tiled entrance.

Steps ascend to a split-level bedroom wing with two double-bedrooms.

Both bedrooms face east, with one offering harbour views across bush-clad hills to Eastbourne, Maupuia and Roseneath.

One opens to a deck and each shares a bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet.

The living and dining areas are on the lower level. They have commanding harbour views, solid

American oak floorboards, skylights and comprehensive heating options, with a heat pump in the lounge and radiator heating in the dining space.

The lounge also opens to a large deck and partly covered courtyard that can be accessed from the open-plan kitchen.

The latter has stainless steel benchtops, underbench oven, integrated rangehood, induction hob with tiled splashback, Infinity gas hot water and a double Dish-Drawer dishwasher.

A carpeted family or media room adjoins the kitchen. It has built-in shelving and a heat pump, and accesses a storeroom or children’s playroom.

Also on this floor are a separate toilet and a wall-mounted gas heater.

Three more double-bedrooms, with harbour views and radiator heating, are on the bottom floor, along with two more bathrooms, a linen cupboard and an open office with shelving and storage.

Two of the bedrooms have double-wardrobes while the main bedroom has a triple-wardrobe as well as a spacious, tiled ensuite with a shower, vanity and toilet.

‘‘This home is perfect for busy executive families who love entertaining but don’t want the hassle of grounds to maintain,’’ Craig Lowe, of Lowe & Co Realty, says

"With the expansive views and rare gated cul-de-sac location, it will be popular."

The property has a rateable value of $1.42 million.
