PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO INSPECT THE VIRTUAL TOURS, THAT ARE ACCESSED VIA THE BUTTON LOCATED UNDER THE SMALLER PHOTOS ON THIS PAGE.
An uncompromising designer style with Northerly aspect, immaculate presentation and impressive proportions over two spectacular levels make this residence one of the finest properties in Wishart. It is simply one of those rare properties that will fulfill the most comprehensive checklist of luxury features, family requirements and practical convenience.
Quality furnishings have been chosen carefully to complement the Mediterranean style and design of the home – so much so that the overall effect is that of a luxurious display house.
Apart from the superior fittings, materials and finishes, there is the comfort and luxury of ducted air-conditioning throughout and for peace of mind, the home is protected by an integrated approach to security. There is an internal sensor alarm system and security grilles fitted to every opening.
A well laid out and fluid floor plan provides a choice of living and entertaining options for both formal and casual events – all connected to the inspiring and creative culinary workspaces of the designer kitchen, which forms the hub of the home. Upstairs, a second family room (or media area) presents a more intimate area for quality family time.
A marvelous feature for enjoying the great South-East Queensland tradition of relaxed al fresco dining/entertaining is the fabulous “outdoor room” and fully-fenced poolside terrace.
The large study, overlooking manicured landscaped gardens and well separated from the main household, provides the perfect work-from-environment.
It is a fabulous package for entertaining at every level and the separation of the different areas allows one family generation to enjoy the company of their guests without impinging on the peace and quiet or privacy of the rest of the family.
As well as the remote-controlled two-car accommodation attached to the home, there is an additional two-car garage located at the rear of the property – perfect for housing boats, campervans or those additional vehicles that come with teenagers or extended families. There is also secure off-street parking even more vehicles.
Look as hard as you like, this very welcoming home is a stunning success at every level…and best of all, it is perfectly designed for each and every family member.
THE DETAIL
From the street, the care taken with every detail is immediately apparent in the beautifully designed and maintained garden-scape of lush lawns, variegated hedges, pristine pavers and quartz pebbles.
A five star greeting is created by the dramatic entry hall which soars to double ceiling height. Beautiful basket weave wrought iron forms the balustrading of the upper level landing. Underfoot is an enormously attractive yet practical, easy-care feature of the family-friendly design – quality terracotta-look tiles beautifully laid on the diagonal and dramatically embellished with a black pebble mosaic border. Adding to the sense of drama is a backlit feature niche along with a series of timber-shuttered niches to connecting the timber floored formal area. This showpiece introduction sets the tone of style and elegance for the rest of the home.
The entry serves as a hub, designed to direct people to different areas of the home depending on their reason for being there. Business visitors can be taken to the study near the entry without accessing any other part of the home. The private areas are via a staircase to the upper level, formal areas are to the left and relaxed living areas are little further on down a short hallway.
The open plan kitchen and meals area forms the living hub of the home, being well placed between the formal dining room, semi-open family room, fully-lined outdoor entertaining and poolside terrace.
The stylish kitchen, well designed for culinary creativity, features a generous amount of blonde laminate cabinetry, beautifully contrasted by black/blue granite-look benchtops, stainless steel appliances and softened by the terracotta-look floors. A large viewing
