An absolute private lakefront Island home on one of West Lakes largest remaining single allotments of some 1,177 sqm, facing East and with a frontage to the lake of approximately 30 meters. Architecturally designed and magnificently constructed over two levels, this sprawling and spacious home offers superior family accommodation comprised in a wonderfully intelligent and liveable floor plan, that takes maximum advantage of its beautiful and surprisingly private waterfront location. The street presence of the property gives no hint of the magnificence hidden behind the street side wall, double garage and gates. A mere glimpse of the home can be caught as you look past the mesh fencing of the lit half tennis court.
Once inside, and after a short walk past the pond and water feature of the path side garden, you arrive at a wide and welcoming sheltered front verandah. Off to your right you can observe the large paved court side patio and verandah. As you enter you begin to experience the advantages of an architecturally designed home. It’s unique. It feels solid and spacious, light fills the rooms. Views of the lake can be seen from many vantage points and every room has a special feel. On the ground level adjacent the entry there is ideally placed for home business, an office/study. Also, there you will find the lakeside main bedroom with an appropriate large en-suite with spa bath and walk in robe. Next, the five living downstairs living spaces can be flexibly allocated, but primarily they provide a choice of formal and casual dining area, step down to two large lakeside living rooms plus a 6.5m x 4.8m games or billiards room overlooking the tennis court. The hub of the home is clearly the well equipped kitchen which lies at the centre of the ground floor and within a few steps of every living space, whether in or outdoors. Lastly, on the ground level, should it be required there is the fifth bedroom also with lake views. Upstairs a retreat serves as a well-proportioned TV or study space, a further three bedrooms all with built-in robes and lake views plus bathroom, loft and store room to complete a magnificent design. After considering how difficult and expensive it would be to replace such a magnificent building at today’s building costs, you might also consider the land and how it is nearly impossible to acquire such a holding today. Then see how all the hard work was done many years ago, but, still there is scope for further improvements to capitalise on its location and to create your ideal lifestyle. Island homes are always prized. East facing is often preferred, large lakefront land is increasingly hard to find and a building like this one, prohibitively expensive to construct. So here is a fantastic opportunity to acquire the impossible package at a fraction of its replacement value, as our client is determined to sell in the very near future, by meeting the market. This is very possibly the best lakefront family home to come onto the market in quite some time, so please don’t miss the opportunity to consider it as your future residence!
