PALM trees, running water, Balinese huts, private outdoor living – it sounds more like your last overseas holiday than a reference to Maiden Gully. But this resort-style, executive-style home offers all these things and more on a huge corner allotment (2366 square metres) in Robin Hill Estate.

The unique design of this quality-built 35-square home forms a U-shape around a north-facing central courtyard with two distinct wings and several access points to the outdoors.

Stepping into the wide entrance foyer you look through double glass doors to the tropical themed courtyard. It sets the mood for the entire home.

To the right of the foyer is a purpose-designed office – to the left a formal lounge with a gas log heater.

The south wing of the house is home to two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a spacious family bathroom, and an open-style laundry with incredible storage.

The north wing begins with the main bedroom suite that features both built-in and walk-through wardrobes, and a stunning en suite with corner spa bath, twin basins and an oversize shower with a frosted glass exterior wall.

The hallway leads on to one of the home’s many wow factors – a state of the art kitchen with quality soft-close cabinetry, a massive (1.5-metres-deep) island bench, a brand new dishwasher and 900mm Technika cooking range.

The dining area features a whole wall of floor to ceiling cupboards.

A luxurious cinema room comes complete with surround sound, screen, even a leather theatre couch. A second office area is cleverly hidden behind the screen.

With both ducted gas heating and central floor heating, as well as a Bonaire ducted cooling system, it’s an exceptionally comfortable home.

In the courtyard is a complete outdoor kitchen, a Balinese hut with day beds, a swim spa, water features, palm trees

As the agent says, it’s more relaxing than a resort, because it’s all yours.
