Captivating from the very first glance, this sublime three bedroom, two bathroom plus study residence is an outstanding achievement in extraordinary design, meticulous craftmanship, family liveability and stunning northwest rear al fresco entertaining.
Embraced by picturesque native gardens designed for minimal maintenance and maximum pleasure, this bespoke reimagined masterpiece combines space, natural light, and beautiful connection to the breathtaking outdoors. This creates an incomparable family sanctuary where stunning interior spaces blur the lines between indoors and out.
Deliberately emphasising sustainability and the use of natural materials, with a commitment to environmental consciousness, the harmonious blend of sandstone, timber, natural stone, and extensive glazing, delivers a timeless and visually captivating aesthetic.
Behind a high picket fence, Castlemaine crazy slate pathways leads up to the superb veranda - the perfect vantage point to appreciate the charm of the garden.
Unfolding across a stunning layout, carefully considered spaces reveal a refined open plan lounge and dining room, with open fireplace, and large picture windows weaving the green of the garden into the interior.
Set between the formal and relaxed living areas, the kitchen is both beautiful and practical featuring stainless steel and timber benchtops, island bench, Delonghi 5 burner gas cooktop and electric oven, Miele dishwasher, and generous walk in pantry.
Illuminated by the glow of northern and western light, the expansive family living and dining domain features a wood fire heater for warmth and ambiance, a custom built Otway Forest Blackwood topped entertainment unit, and a comfy alcove of integrated couches.
Double sets of French doors, from the family living/dining area, seamlessly transitions to the beautiful northwest facing outdoors for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Completely private, the outdoor sanctuary showcases lush, landscaped gardens, a vast al fresco deck with motorised awning and huge fixed umbrella, tranquil water feature, extensive decked walkways, and a substantial studio or home office with split system air conditioner, sink, and views across the garden.
Accommodation is zoned away from the living spaces for privacy. Three bedrooms, include the master bedroom enjoying walk in wardrobe, lavish solid travertine twin vanity ensuite, and tranquil front garden vistas from a gorgeous window seat with storage. In a separate wing at the rear, follow the striking curved sandstone wall to two spacious bedrooms with robes and ceiling fans, serviced by a sleek solid travertine bathroom.
For those home workdays, a dedicated study area offers a fitted desk and shelving.
As expected from an extraordinary home, extras include security alarm system with video cameras, timber floors, storage rich laundry with Robinhood ironing system, individually controlled hydronic heating, ducted evaporative cooling, split system air conditioner in the family living area, full underfloor insulation, double glazed windows throughout, garden shed, 6.2kW solar system, 20,000 litre water tanks servicing the automated drip irrigation system and WCs, and off street parking.
Peacefully positioned high up on the crest in this family focussed pocket with Pennydale Reserve and Olympic Avenue Kindergarten footsteps away, Victoria and Cheltenham Golf Clubs and Cheltenham Park at the end of the street, plus a short walk to Cheltenham Village and train station, Cheltenham Primary School, Westfield Southland, bus services and easy proximity to the beach.
