Very few inner urban residences offer such a close connection to their outdoor environment as this remarkable family home accessed via quiet Varzin Avenue. Designed by award winning BBP Architects on the Avenue's elevated northern side, its steel frame construction is completed by exhilarating walls of glazing that not only ensure a home of excellent natural light but create a living environment with a tranquil, even immersive relationship with nature. Positioned amongst the bird song and leafy trees of nearby Back Creek bushland, an inspired design cantilevers a series of open living and indoor/outdoor entertaining domains amongst the treetops with expansive sliding glazing creating a seamless integration with the outdoors. At entry level, a return drive with port cochere carport precedes open concept interiors that include generous open plan living and dining with fireplace, a central family kitchen featuring Corian benchtops and family sized smeg appliances and a second open plan family domain bookended by two alfresco entertaining decks. Upstairs, a study/home office accompanies four bedrooms and an immaculate family bathroom, three with built in robes, the luxurious main forming its own retreat with walk in robe and ensuite. Further highlights include a ground floor powder room/laundry, cellar/gym, ducted heating, multi split cooling units, ducted vacuum, hardwood timber floors, alarm, under deck garden storage, double carport and return drive. From this prized parkland pocket, walk through South Surrey Park to Riversdale Road trams and Through Road Village or stroll past nearby Surrey Gardens on your way to Surrey Hills Village and the Station. Either offers easy access to cafes, supermarkets, leading local and private schools, and a host of amenities that from your unique tree top home, you could never imagine were so close by.
