Rarely does a home of this calibre come to the market - 2.78m ceilings with feature fluted cove cornices, skylights, grand staircase, floor to ceiling windows that beautifully frame the variety of stunning garden and vista surrounds and bring in brilliant light throughout.

Built in 1961 by Master Builders Kennetts and sold to a member of that family, it was at the cutting edge of mid-century modern architecture. Expanded, extended and modified with a new roof profile in the early 90's by AV Jennings to what we see today is an example of an evolution of design excellence to perfection.

The street appeal is immense - lush sweeping lawns, deep driveway, towering and established greenery surrounds the property providing shade, privacy and contrast.

Pattern pave and stonework planter boxing typical of the 60's complement the home's grand entrance which leads into a light filled Reception Room - with beautiful wool carpets, high ceilings, huge skylight feature columns, built in glass cabinetry and dramatic gallery style staircase. This welcoming first impression entrance sets the tone of luxury, light and graciousness evident throughout this stunning home.

Large windows and glass door lead to a formal living room with a wall of floor to ceiling windows that bring inside the front garden. A huge stone fireplace (in working order) is a feature of this grand room that oozes classic subtle luxury. Silk curtains frame the vistas that are enjoyed from the formal living and dining room.

A huge family kitchen is the centrepiece of this wing with extra cupboards and good size breakfast bar. Dishwasher, wall oven, gas cooktop, ceiling fan and direct entry to the rear laundry and additional separate WC are convenient extras.

Casual meals can be enjoyed year-round in the breakfast room adjacent with northern light flooding through the large windows and more custom cabinetry built in to perfection for both aesthetics and practicality for the largest Executive family.

With the residence and extensions designed in a split-level design on the lower portion to suit the slight gradient - to maximise beautiful rear gardens and take advantage of the superb views from all the windows of either the hills, city lights or the coast. The lower tier accommodates the large double garage under main roof, and a huge family/rumpus room with impressive low maintenance slate flooring, complete with kitchenette/built in bar which overlooks the swimming pool and abuts two vine covered pergolas for seamless indoor/outdoor alfresco entertaining.

This is a lifestyle property of grand proportions and will not disappoint the most astute and discerning purchasers.

The upper level via the gallery staircase has a long landing - possibly a unique home office zone and overlooks the Reception/entrance room.

A unique patio terrace extends beyond the king size master suite to take advantage of the elevated views. A huge ensuite provides privacy between the bath, WC, separate shower and large vanity with tiling, fixtures and fittings typical of the 60's era on current trend and in immaculate original condition - proof of the build quality this property enjoys of the time.

A generous walk-in robe with windows is a convenient extra room included within the master suite.

3 further bedrooms on the upper level all with extensive built-in robes complete the interiors of this magnificent and gracious residence.

The lifestyle and entertaining facilities go above and beyond expectations -
* Inviting family size concrete & tiled chlorinated swimming pool
* Fabulous separate Bali hut with timber decking
* Undercover patio adjacent to pool and family room with shade sail and blinds
* Additional vine covered Northern terrace to capture winter warmth

* Stainless steel appliances
* Garden shed & pool equipment
