Think rough rendered walls, formal archways, water features and hues of sand, terracotta and mediterranean blue. Social spaces unfold each to each, tumbling to gardens that deliver journeys of discovery, secret destinations. This is family living with a resort style twist, think relaxing spa bath, pond with waterfall and an enveloping, leafy tranquility.The home sits behind pretty gardens and is accessed via a sheltered front porch framed by a grand arch. Or you can saunter down the driveway, beneath the sheltering sail and up the tiered stairs, where double doors open wide in friendly welcome. There is a double garage with the convenience of internal access and the locale is superb - surrounding of green commons, parks and playgrounds. It is an easy stroll to the local shops for essentials and great coffee, and not far to nearby commercial precincts, moments from the CBD.Living and dining revolves around the kitchen, with its floating island, great storage and generous walk-in pantry. Timber framed windows dot the walls and glass doors bank to one side, welcoming breezes and spilling deck side. Sheltered and semi-enclosed, the deck reads like an outdoor room, so you can lounge and dine alfresco in the warming northern sun. The second living area places you at the front of the home, where big windows frame the beautifully planted gardens. Here timber floors flow golden underfoot and timber joinery frames broad openings on both sides - set with pocket sliders so you can enjoy a nice separation when required. Light and fresh air informs the master bedroom as French doors open to the deck and a big clerestory window frames the sky. This is a lovely, generous space with raked ceilings, a walk-thru-robe and a roomy ensuite. The robe is set with wonderful fixed cabinetry and the ensuite serves up a corner spa bath that sits beneath a giant window, floating the garden within.Sequestered at the front of the home is the children's wing - three lovely bedrooms with big windows that welcome lots of light. Two of the rooms have built-in-robes and all three are handy to a family bathroom with a tub and a separate toilet. The home also delivers a big laundry and a separate powder room which is ideal for guests.Down the garden path, across the lawn, beneath the leafy archway, tucked away and very private. Think pergola covered spa bath, chandelier, charming Mediterranean garden wall, and pizza oven.
