SUNNY DISPOSITION

This expansive home in Parnell is on an easy care section with all day sun and is an amazing place in which to entertain, writes CATHERINE MASTERS

Bayleys agent Edward Pack says this four-bedroom, fully renovated Parnell home is both impressive and versatile.

There are views to Judge’s Bay from the stunning upstairs master suite and a layout which works perfectly, he says.

The owner says 6 Rota Place, which is to be sold by set date of sale, is an amazing place in which to entertain — it has a large-scale kitchen/living/ dining area where guests can seamlessly walk outside to the pool area.

“The sun wraps around the property all day and sets perfectly on the home,” says the owner. “The proximity to the city is fantastic and very easy to come and go, and lock up and leave to go away for the weekend.

“I have absolutely loved living here for the last six years as it has been such an easy home to live in.”

Edward says the home was built in the 2000s and the owner worked with Bureaux Architects to carry out a full, bespoke renovation from the kitchen to the bathrooms.

One of the fabulous features of the home is the 4m-high stud in the kitchen/living/dining area, giving a real sense of volume and scale.

“Everything is in the right proportions. The kitchen is handcrafted. It’s beautifully detailed.”

A fully-equipped scullery has top of the line appliances and a sink, and there is hot and cold filtered water, plus a beer and wine fridge.

“The other nice thing is there are a couple of additional living areas, which are really nice.

“There’s another separate TV/living room on the western side of the house, slightly elevated, more of a bit of a library/reading room.

“Then also, slightly removed from the main living area, is a media room which is a very intimate space with beautiful timber walls.”

The house sits elevated above the road which gives it a sense of presence, Edward says.

From the entrance way you turn one way to the kitchen and living area, which then flows to the outside entertaining area.

You turn the other way to two downstairs bedrooms, a big bathroom and a powder room, and a second living space.

Upstairs takes you to another two bedrooms, including the “world-class” master suite.

“It’s large and it has full airconditioning which you need in the summer because it faces the north-western side of the house which gets all-day sun.”

The master bedroom also a custom-made walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a big bath.

Bifold doors open to a deck which wraps around the northwestern side of the house.

“The outlook from the master suite is fantastic.”

The house would be great for families or for downsizers who want a smaller plot of land but all the benefits of a large, grand, sophisticated home.

The manicured garden is lush and private and the house is in a desirable pocket of Parnell, close to the cafes, shops and town.
