Perfectly situated atop a hill in Bayview this two storey classical home has plenty to offer. The owners brief to their architect was for a solid home that didn’t need to be closed up and air-conditioned (although it does have split systems) and as such needed to take advantage of the abundant natural breezes available from its hilltop siting. This has been achieved beautifully and the home has oodles of natural crossflow ventilation through the clever design of bigger eaves and smartly shaped living areas and louvered windows.

The fabulous polished timber floors throughout the first floor of the home add a real ambience to the home and you will quite naturally leave your shoes elsewhere.

Most windows afford spectacular views of the harbour and city skyline but none better than that from the huge central living area that opens onto a massive balcony where one imagines much time will be spent.

The first floor includes four bedrooms with the master well separated from the other three and boasting an ensuite and its own private balcony and great views. This floor also has the main bathroom which is fully tiled with quality finishes and includes a large corner bath, vanity and toilet.

The impressive kitchen sits at one end of the living area and includes an island breakfast bar, lots of cupboards, commercial size gas range and enables the chef to remain part of any proceedings.

Down stairs via either the internal tiled staircase or the external stairs much more is available in the form of a spacious laundry with bench and cupboards a huge office or media room which could also be converted into a family or rumpus room, a fifth bedroom and a third bathroom perfect for guests or older teenagers.

A large in-ground tiled pool surrounded by clay pavers and is very privately located and can be enjoyed with absolute abandon.

An electronic gate gives you access to the property via a paved driveway that winds itself up to and behind the home.

There is plenty of vehicle storage at the rear of the home un
