Fine design is always in style, great quality lasts a lifetime and a Golden address will be valued forever... find all three in this notable architect designed home by Ray Sweeney. This craftsman-built four bedroom plus home-office, 2.5 bathroom, triple zone 40sq home showcases the best design features of its time including soaring timber lined ceilings, walls of north-facing glass, streamlined Blackwood cabinetry and impressive fireplaces (one gas, one open).
Set on around 8492sqft/789sqm with a central pool garden (with stone-surround pool and adjacent sauna) maximising north sun and a peppercorn-shaded backyard beyond a covered al fresco area, the home follows an innovative L-shaped design with pool-view formal lounge, dining and kitchen with angular meals supplemented by a bar-fitted games-room (big enough to fit a billiard table), a lofty cathedral ceilinged family room and a versatile first-floor lounge.
Expansively accommodating with a balconied first-floor master domain (with dual vanity, spa-ensuite and dual WIRs), there's a garden-focused home office opening to a front vegetable garden, a bonus study nook (perfect for the kids' computer) and generous car accommodation including a double auto-garage with workshop and a dedicated boatspace. Climate controlled by in-floor hydronic heating, Nobo panels and air-conditioners, there are today's comforts (including ducted vacuum and alarm) and energy/water efficiencies (including Rinnai EnviroSmart hot-water, 1 KW solar panels and a 2000L tank).
