A Hamptons Dream Home; A Hills Fairytale Rewritten for the Modern Family.
It's something out of a fairytale, the paint is barely dry on this Hamptons-inspired creation that unfolds like a dream across its split-level footprint on a Hills plot with the utility to match the magic of its poolside setting.
The original cottage was merely a prelude to what is, essentially, a brand-new five bedroom , three bathroom home enveloped in white weatherboard and lush grounds dotted with fruit trees, a chicken house, Tuscan pergola, a fairy-lit glasshouse, extensive shedding and a separate fully-lined studio.
Inside this solar-driven home, a vast main living zone turns the open-plan dream into a reality, stretching across natural spotted gum floors from rear deck to statement kitchen in one blissful sweep.
And what a statement it is; Falcon freestanding cooker, Maui timber shelves with feature lighting, cabinetry finished in powder blue, herringbone tiled splashbacks, Alabaster stone feature pendant, brushed gold hardware and natural marble benchtops, all simmering away in perfect harmony.
Swing open the European-made double-glazed servery windows and insert yourself straight into the game of 'Marco Polo' taking place in your heated pool with multi-colour lighting, spout fountains, water feature, pool house and French travertine surrounds.
Enjoy outdoor living all year round - electronic blinds effortlessly enclose the rear deck, transforming it into a versatile indoor-outdoor retreat for relaxing or entertaining in any weather.
A home that entertains like few others also implores you to retreat to its many quieter spaces, including a formal lounge that curls up to a combustion fire.
An entire wing unfolds across two levels - the lower featuring its own retreat-style living space, bedroom, and bathroom, and the upper forming a true parents' sanctuary. The master suite includes a generous walk-in robe, a luxurious ensuite with underfloor heating and heated towel rails, double shower and, a private terrace balcony nestled among the treetops so you can rise and shine in a state of bliss.
The bathrooms are special in their own right; each with a unique, fully-tiled, stone-topped take on modern vintage.
Beauty may steal the show here, but function is the quiet genius behind it all. With a 24 kW solar setup, a 24 kW battery, seven rainwater tanks, insulated hobby rooms and off-street parking for a fleet, every inch is fine-tuned for living lightly and tinkering freely.
And beyond its white picket fence line, Stirling and Aldgate villages provide worthy detours on your swift 20 minute journey to the CBD. A world away, with the world at its feet.
