#soldbylalita $885,000This generous three-bedroom home perfectly balances connection and privacy, allowing family life to unfold with grace and flexibility. It has the distinction of a separate garden apartment, delivering the perfect retreat and allowing endless choice. Big windows welcome light and make the most of the scenic connection to both manicured gardens and the endless green of the golf course that sit just across the way. Mature trees create a green wall, the home sitting behind pretty gardens, soft lawn. There is pedestrian access via Messenger and a driveway off Spofforth Street, ushering to a semi-enclosed double carport with twin roller doors. We love the light brick form and the dotting of big white windows with arched tops. There is a small, elevated front porch with decorative wrought iron balustrade and a welcoming mid-century front door with patterned sidelights.A generous foyer introduces the home and the large, combined living and dining opens via glass sliders onto the garden. Here easy-care laminate floors introduce the texture of parquetry and there is a nice circular flow into the kitchen. Big windows flood the social hub with light and you can see all the way to the greens of Burns Golf Club. Banks of cabinetry in soft grey line the kitchen and there is small peninsula for gathering. All electric appliances make life efficient and include a dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel. The master bedroom is privately placed at the end of a slender hallway and captures views to the golf course. A clerestory window sits above the bed, perfectly framing the colour and texture of a magnificent eucalypt. This generous room flows to an enormous two-way ensuite bathroom. There is a built-in-robe in both the bedroom and the bathroom, taking care of his-and-her storage. Both additional bedrooms enjoy leafy views, with bedroom two delivering excellent storage and the third with a nook for studying. The family bathroom is also a glamorous affair with a luxurious spa bath and there is the convenience of a third and separate toilet. Both bathrooms are awash in light neutrals, with feature marbled white tiling and signature dark floors.Glass sliders can be flung open allowing the presence of the garden to be felt within, the airy separate apartment ideally position to connect with both home and alfresco living. There is a kitchenette and ensuite bathroom alongside a generous and open space that serves up a fourth bedroom. Think teen retreat, creative studio, inter-generational living, spill-over guest accommodation or additional income. Either way both the home and flat connect nicely to easy-care gardens, with a broad paved terrace, perfect for entertaining in the sunshine.
