Holding a commanding position on three acres, uninterrupted views across Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the North-West horizon are yours, in a home designed to savour its amazing location. Imagine waking up each morning to mist rising out of the valleys; the sound of wallabies your alarm clock; the Australian bush your backyard. Built to capitalise on the elements, the low eaves of this wide single-level, double-brick and timber home allow winter sun to warm the large living and dining space through a sliding wall of glass, yet protect the home from temperature extremes. Under high ceilings with exposed beams, tiled floors are cooled by summer breezes and, during winter months; spread heat from the enormous open fire throughout the home. Connected by breakfast bar to the living areas, the timber and granite kitchen features an enormous walk-in pantry. From the lounge, a built-in wet bar is great for entertaining. Six double bedrooms, two studies and a sitting room extend from a wide hallway. All have built-ins; several enjoy views. The master bedroom, with spectacular vistas through pillar less windows and open-plan en-suite and dressing room,… show more sits opposite a large guest bedroom with over sized en-suite. A level lawn sets the stage for outdoor parties against the bush backdrop. Below, the naturally tiered block connects directly with national park. Overlooking a sea of treetops; timber walkways and decking surround seamlessly landscaped pool and spa. A cabana with bar area is fronted by timber sun deck under sail awning shade. Despite its immediacy to nature, this home is only minutes from shops, beaches and city buses. Moving needn’t mean moving schools: diversity in locals’ school uniforms testament to the area’s proximity to prestige education. Work in the city yet live among nature; 306 McCarrs Creek Rd is on top of both worlds.
