Ultra Modern Marvel

It would be an understatement to call this home a contemporary slice of heaven. Completely renovated throughout, this ultra modern marvel seamlessly blends low-maintenance living with an avant-garde lifestyle. Fusing picture-perfect design with a family-friendly layout, the single-level residence offers endless conveniences for every member of the family.

From a distance, the rendered facade and prevailing dimensions of this architectural gem make it stand out. Paying tribute to the leafy vistas of the quiet, brick-paved cul-de-sac, the front yard is landscaped with drought-resistant native plants, mulch and a weed mat throughout. An imposing black limestone path leads to the keyless entry front door that opens into an interior worthy of display home catalogues.

Once inside, the architecture becomes a series of colossal spaces, working hand in hand with specially selected fittings and fixtures to enhance the living experience. Intelligent zoning comprises 3 separate sleeping regions and 3 vast living areas. Two main bedrooms, located at independent sides of the home, both feature big WIRs and sparkling ensuites with custom-made vanities and frameless showers. The remaining two bedrooms, found at the back of the home, are serviced by an impressive central bathroom. A vast, L-shaped lounge and dining room, with beautifully crafted, recessed feature walls, presents a place for parents to enjoy time away from the kids.

The centerpiece of the home is the cleverly conceptualised hub – an open-plan kitchen, meals/family and theatre room area. A sensation within itself, the superbly appointed kitchen features stone bench tops, Miele stainless-steel appliances, gloss-finished cupboard doors and a large servery window to the meals/family area. The theatre room depicts a cinema experience like no other, featuring star-light mood lighting in the ceiling and raised seating platform, a full remote controlled 120inch screen and HD projector.

Bi-fold doors open from the hub into an illuminated outdoor room – the bridge between the summoning outside and the exquisite inside. From here, a wall of sliding doors leads out onto an alfresco deck with breathtaking views, overlooking the in-ground, solar heated pool below. Under the balcony, a big pool-side area offers a soothing place to relax as soft breezes are carried up from over the water directly to this space.

An extremely rare gem, this beautiful home is perfect for those looking for a contemporary lifestyle that easily fuses family living with countless conveniences.
