From the moment you step across the bridge, you’ll realise that you have arrived somewhere special. Architect designed and built in 1983 to a very high standard, no expense has been spared to create this consummately stylish, spacious, and creative home. The entrance flows into a 13m dining hall and entertainment space, with a slate floor and cathedral ceilings. A glass feature wall fills the space with light, and welcomes you home with a beautiful view of the landscaped gardens and the hills beyond.
On your left, the 8m solar heated indoor pool is big enough to do laps in – or to serve cocktails around, with the party spilling out through the sliding doors onto the spacious deck on warm summer evenings.
On your right, a sliding glass partition leads to the lounge room, featuring a wood fireplace and its own shady garden courtyard. It’s perfect for everything from piano recitals to a feet-up evening reading by the fire.
Designed for entertaining, this is a house you’ll be proud to come home to, but also one where you’ll have complete peace and privacy. Taking prime position at the end of a cul-de-sac, the only sounds are the abundant wildlife. Koalas have been heard (and sometimes seen) in the nearby trees, and the previous owner befriended a family of wild kookaburras and hand-fed them from the deck!
Take the time to wander the landscaped gardens surrounding the house, admire the roses in bloom, or tend to the fruit trees. Further afield, step off the deck for an early-evening stroll, down a private track through natural bush framed by towering, 50-year-old gums. You can even dip your toes in the Aldgate Creek burbling along the floor of the valley.
Or if you feel like more company, Aldgate village with its iconic Pump Hotel, traditional bakeries and trendy cafes is only five minutes’ drive. An easy twenty minutes further on will bring you to the CBD.
Back at home, the inspired design continues to support your lifestyle. The workshop features double automatic roller doors and three-phase power, with plenty of room for two vehicles and all of your projects. Adjacent are two generously-sized bedrooms, one of which could be converted into a peaceful study. The kitchen has a separate spacious pantry. The master bedroom with under floor heating, own bathroom, storage, and double walk-in robe takes pride of place at the far extreme of the house.
Other details have been attended to to the same high standard. The semi-circular driveway offers ample parking. A large cellar accessible from steps down from the deck provides ample storage for your wine collection. And a fire sprinkler system ensures your peace of mind, with two pumps and 40000L of rainwater storage, with additional mains water supply.
