This Harry Poulos designed hideaway in the heart of Ascot will inspire those with an eye for perfection. From the glistening white marble floors throughout the main living areas to the graceful curves of the patio overlooking the sparkling plunge pool, even the most jaded property searcher will not be un-moved by the excellence in design and quality on offer.
Constructed in 2001 and set on 405m², this contemporary home offers privacy and peace over 320m² and two levels of relaxed living. The home is accessed via a secure, Tuscan-influenced courtyard, leading into the main living level of the home, which features soaring 14 foot ceilings, expanses of crisp, white walls (for your private art gallery) and gorgeous, white marble tiled floors.
There are just so many places to entertain, relax and ‘get away’ in this superbly designed home. It would be ideal for the time-poor executive couple seeking a tranquil space to share those precious few hours alone together or in the company of good friends. Its masterful, multi-purpose design would also suit the busy family with older children or retired couple who are looking for a home of distinction and convenience.
The main level incorporates two distinct living and dining spaces, separated by a private courtyard. This clever design creates a striking visual feature with its banks of windows looking into the central retreat, as well as allowing an abundance of light and fresh air into the adjoining rooms.
At the rear of the main level, the informal living space leads out past a super slick galley kitchen to an elevated patio from which the view over the deep blue pool, replete with water feature and Tuscan-hedged garden, transport you a million miles away.
Indeed, the clever design truly invites the outside in, with an almost seamless transition between the open plan kitchen/informal living area and outside patio courtesy of floor to ceiling bi-fold doors extending from one end of the opening to the other.
The en-suited master bedroom on the upper level features a massive window and the warmth of a bank of down lights recessed into the wall above the bed. The office – perfect for those who work from home – features a custom-built desk and storage shelves, and is spacious enough to accommodate a large sofa.
Two more large bedrooms, main bathroom and powder room complete all the requirements for a home of comfortable proportions.
This home has been beautifully maintained and looks as good as it did in 2001 (barely looks its five years of age), and of course, contains all the technology and modern conveniences a home of this stature demands.
When you are forced to leave this blissful existence, a short stroll will take you to the local post office, cafe, gift shop and supermarket in nearby Alexandra Road, while you can stretch your legs (or your children’s or grandchildren’s) at beautiful Oriel Park on the next corner.
The home has a two-car tandem lock up garage, and for those who have to leave this bliss to work in the city, the convenience of a bus stop located just a short walk down the road.
Many contemporary homes look great in the pictures, but don’t live up to their ‘images’ in reality. The quality finish and pristine condition of this home will renew your faith. Arrange your viewing today for a refreshing surprise.
