As you drive up the winding road, marveling at the greenery around, you feel any stress of the city melt away. By the time you arrive at 3 Lennox Cr, you’ll be relaxed and ready to enjoy some quiet mountain time. Listen to the bird calls, gaze up at the tall rainforest trees, or hunt for tiny frogs or rare mosses. It really is a world apart.

The home is not yet three years old, and has been designed to fit perfectly into its environment while providing great comfort to the lucky occupants. The huge covered deck is a great place for conversation or meals, and the soaring ceiling of the living/dining room creates a wonderful sense of space. Light the fire here and forget about time.

The kitchen has lots of drawers, 5-burner gas cooktop and a walk-in butler’s pantry, with the laundry cleverly hidden behind this room. A hallway leads past the study with an inspirational view to the garden, to the three bedrooms and bathrooms. The master has a walk-in robe, and ensuite. All the bedrooms are of good size, and the family bathroom has a bath, open shower, vanity and the toilet is separate.

The gardens are delightful. There’s a vege garden, tall trees with elkhorns, natural raspberries and a chocolate pudding tree. Ferns are re-growing and you can create whatever landscaping appeals to you.
