Unique family home on a premium 847m2 corner block
4 bedrooms, 3 big living rooms, enormous kitchen, beautifully unique family home
This is unique, different, exclusive, distinctive - use any word you like, but you'll not have seen a home like this. With intriguing elements, split levels, amazing use of light and interesting angles, this home will set you apart from the rest and become a welcoming place to call 'home'.
Built in 1992 of double brick construction with romantic colonial style windows, set on approximately 847sqm of landscaped gardens.
Upon entry you notice the ceiling stretching high above you and a set of stairs leading from the entry. To the left off the wide tiled entry hall is a 4th bedroom/study, with floating timber floors and a beautiful view over the front garden. There is a walk in robe and built in desk area should you require.
Up the entry steps, to the left you will find the stairs to the 2nd storey, and to the right is an open plan feel to the dining room. This also works as access to the formal lounge which is long and spacious with exposed raked ceiling beams. The warm, cosy feel of this room comes from the bay window and open fireplace. A private, quiet space that enjoys natural light from two aspects.
Moving back to the central hallway, at the end is a stunning kitchen with conservatory-like ceiling windows inviting a season's worth of light which illuminates the entire room. The windows start at bench height and extend upwards and around the width of the room, bringing natural light to all corners.
Granite bench tops follow the windows around and create metres of uninterrupted bench space at the rear of the kitchen. An island bench provides space for the sink and drop down breakfast bar in a circular shape is a great area for a quick bite or morning breakfast. White cupboards contrast well, and the home cook will love the Bosch dishwasher, double Westinghouse wall ovens, and electric cook top. The double, side by side fridge/freezer will stay with the home. There are enough cupboards to store food for 10 families, and the feature glass bricks at one end add a little unique touch.
Off the kitchen, step down to the versatile family/games/home theatre room. Currently housing a Pool Table (option to stay with home), this room includes a generous built-in timber wet bar and double sliding glass doors to the huge pergola area outside. There is under stair storage and a walk way which leads past a powder room and laundry and through to another huge living space. The possibilities of this room are endless, and if your family needs room to move, then this additional rumpus style room is perfect. There are two bay windows with window seats and built in cupboards across one wall for storage.
Back to the family room and through the sliding glass doors you step outside to an enormous pitched roof pergola with cafe style pvc blinds around the perimeter allowing the area to be closed off to the elements. The pergola has plenty of overhead lighting for evening entertaining, and the structure wraps around the side of the house and provides an area for clothes to dry under roof. This side of the house has a step down grass area, and is a pleasant space. On the other side of the pergola you step up to another grassed area (which is where the kitchen looks out over), and there is a lockable tool shed in the corner and a second shed down the side of the yard next to the garage on the opposite side. Outside is fully irrigated, and offers a neat and tidy, low maintenance garden.
Back inside the home, and upstairs you'll find three bedrooms. The main with intriguing ensuite bathroom which has a corner spa bath and cupboards surrounding the vanity. All white and neutral. The two other bedrooms have built in robes and are double in size. Each bedroom has a unique feel with high windows and the conservatory style window extension to bring the sky and clouds into the rooms. There is a main family bathroom that services these two bedrooms.
The double garage is perfect for buyers looking to house their tall 4wd's and the ceiling height is 2.2m in here. The panel lift door is automatic and there is ample parking off street here.
Other features include 3 separate air conditioning units which supply the ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and there is ducted vacuuming. Set in Lake View Village, close to playgrounds, parks and tennis courts (2 minute walk), and walking/hiking tracks. A short distance to Highland Shopping Centre and local schools (Greenwith Primary).
