Sitting proudly above its neighbours in one of the most sought after streets in Granton, number 16 Jacques Road has the advantage of magnificent views across local wetlands to the river beyond.

Built in 2003, the owners have designed the perfect family home, sited to maximise those views.

You access the property via an impressive driveway, past vast expanses of lawn and on to the two car garage that sits under the house.

The front door opens off a covered veranda that stretches the vast length of the property, what a place to take in those views!

Guests are welcomed into a tiled foyer area that leads into the large lounge room with its huge picture window. Off this formal lounge is the very special dining and kitchen area.

The huge kitchen is a U shape with a large breakfast bar, perfect for informal family dining. The white cabinets are off-set by the black bench tops. This is a kitchen ready for the family to enjoy.

The dining space is also in this large open area and the two spaces flow together via their easy care tile flooring. Just off the dining space you can step outside to one of the best features of this property the covered outdoor entertaining area.

This space is bound by a rendered garden bed with mature plants and is protected from the weather by the latest in pergola roofing. You can BBQ year round in this indoor/outdoor area.

The bedrooms have been located within the house to allow privacy and space for the whole family. The master sits off the lounge and has a walk in robe and ensuite cleverly concealed behind mirrored sliding doors.

The other three bedrooms are at the other end of the house as is the family bathroom. All of these three bedrooms are a good size and have large windows taking in the views. Two have built in robes. The family bathroom has a separate shower and spa bath.

The house itself covers 169.1 squares, with 26.7 square metres of veranda and 52 square metres of garage space. This is an energy saving house with 16 solar panels.

This is the perfect home for a growing family, especially a family that loves to entertain.
