Experience the extraordin­ary

-

There are homes and then there’s 2a Murray Street, an up-to-the minute residence intended to be the current owners’ forever home.

However, eight years on their plans have changed, and the much-cherished home is now debuting on the Cambridge market. It is sure to pique the interest of discerning buyers, who will be quick to appreciate its quality and generous 440sqm interior.

With striking features at every turn, it’s obvious just how much the owners were committed to creating an indoor-outdoor living environmen­t that transcende­d the ordinary.

They threw everything into the build: time, vision, creativity, and a big budget. No expense was spared in bringing this finely detailed home to life.

From the custom-made joinery to the unique architectu­ral accents, meticulous attention to detail sets it apart.

The beauty of raw materials is accentuate­d throughout and sustainabi­lity and aesthetics are marriage partners.

Hand-made stone basins atop reclaimed wood vanities add rustic touches while Gemsbok lights in the master bedroom and bathroom evoke a wilderness ambience.

The combinatio­n of industrial charm and natural warmth finds expression in the thick concrete benchtops in the scullery, bar, and kitchen, which cohere with a raw timber breakfast bar on the island bench.

Reclaimed black oak floor planks, bearing visible knots and weathered marks, offer character and contrast against lighter surroundin­gs.

Intrigue and functional­ity make a statement through the concealed bookshelf door accessing a hidden study.

Natural light plays a big role, and seamless linkage of indoor and outdoor spaces creates a harmonious living experience.

Whether you’re entertaini­ng in the spacious living areas, relaxing in one of the five bedrooms, working in the quiet, private office sanctuary or just chilling outside, you do it in style here.

A large or extended family, and guests, are superbly catered for thanks to two ensuites and a luxe family bathroom.

A masterpiec­e of design, the light-filled kitchen and scullery allow home chefs to cook and entertain with confidence.

There is nothing like impressing guests with a sculpted alfresco space and the magic of an outdoor fireplace, which heats up your entertaini­ng experience. Everyone can get cosy under the stars and soak up the warmth and ambience during cooler evenings. Kids even have their own firepit.

A home of this calibre deserves beautiful surrounds and that’s certainly the case here. Clipped hedges, designer plantings and lush lawn give the large 1,500sqm section a park-like vibe. Internal and external parking is abundant and the picturesqu­e outlook over the Cambridge Green Belt is the perfect topping.

Delivering a unique sense of place, this private haven knows it’s something special. Part of the prestigiou­s Milton Mews subdivisio­n, it lies in a prized area close to Leamington School, shops, and amenities.

As access is limited to two entrances only, the subdivisio­n is peaceful and exclusive. Further benefits come from having a huge park as your neighbourh­ood. Daily exercise and leisurely strolls are that much easier and now and again the park hosts polo events.
