This spacious, stylish residence on an oversized lot of 1,443 sqm is an idyllic haven for entertainers, families or retirees. With a windowed facade swathed in a creeping fig vine, a semi-enclosed 12 m lap pool running across the front of the home, a flowing floor plan, and large entertaining areas, this is no ordinary home. A sunny entry courtyard beyond the front portico and pool bridge opens to spacious, open-style living areas, where a Mini Orb-lined cathedral ceiling adds drama and texture while bouncing the light filtering through expanses of wrap-around windows. The large living area offers ample space to gather with family and friends, and the dining area can accommodate a large dinner party crowd. The home's heart is the well-appointed galley-style kitchen featuring a gas cooktop/electric oven, a dishwasher, a step-in corner pantry and a casual meals nook bathed in morning light. With easy access to the extensive paved alfresco area and secure backyard, relaxed indoor-outdoor living will become a regular fixture of daily life. Four generous bedrooms are configured for comfort, with three grouped beside the WC and updated bathroom featuring a free-standing bath, a wall-mounted vanity and an in situ shower. Separately positioned off the living areas, the main bedroom includes his-and-hers built-in robes, and a renovated ensuite with access to the pool deck. Imagine the opportunity for a daily, year-round morning swim and stepping straight into the shower at the end of your session. A list of supplementary features includes, multiple split system units, pool heating, high ceilings, a solar PV system, and a garden shed, ensuring everything is on hand for an outstanding way of living. Terraced front gardens include feature lighting, colourful garden beds and a stand of ornamental pear trees. A double auto garage, an asphalted driveway with ample off-street parking, and a secluded McIvor Hill cul-de-sac location contribute to the ultimate lifestyle experience.
