Like all the fine things in life, there’s a quality about this custom built home that draws you in and makes you feel at ease.
It doesn’t shout and scream and say look at me, rather it welcomes you with its generously proportioned rooms, open plan living and classically stylish decor.
Set on over 2000sq m in on one of Lysterfield’s most desirable streets, the house was built about four years ago to exacting standards.
It is a home designed to be enjoyed, whether it’s on a lazy Sunday afternoon by the roaring fireplace in the lounge or family room, kicking back watching a movie in the home theatre or celebrating a special occasion with family and friends around the elegantly landscaped pool.
Beautifully appointed inside and out, red gum floorboards and high ceilings greet you the moment you step inside.
On one side of the entry is a super-sized study with built-in robes which could easily double as a fifth bedroom. On the other side is the master bedroom with bay windows, large retreat and a fitted walk-in robe. Special mention goes to the opulent ensuite with twin vanity with granite top, bath, and shower and toilet hidden behind frosted glass.
Formal entertaining can be done in the large lounge or dining room big enough to host a small banquet.
Cooks will marvel at the impressive French provincial style granite kitchen with 900mm Blanco stainless-steel oven, Bosch dishwasher and island bench with a bespoke Sydney blue gum benchtop that has been lovingly crafted. A wood-burning fireplace warms the meals area and family room, that leads to a home theatre that could just as easily be a children’s playroom.
Three more double bedrooms are reached down a hallway, and each features built-in robes. The family bathroom is finished to the same standard as the ensuite, with a frameless glass shower screen.
Outside, an under-roof alfresco area overlooks the 12m-long self-cleaning solar-heated inground pool, and can be enjoyed year-round thanks to the gas fireplace. Sandstone paving and glass fencing maintains the feeling of elegance, as do the beautifully landscaped gardens and summer gazebo.
The house is not only elegant, it is practical as well, with instant gas hot-water in the bathrooms, zoned heating and cooling in each room, a 20,000-litre underground water tank, ducted vacuum, alarm system and a three-car garage that connects to the house through a practical mudroom and powder room.
