Multiple ribbon windows create exclamation points of light and frame the leafy trees that dot the endless reserve. This spacious four-bedder is perfectly positioned just a few steps from rolling parkland, epic bushland expanses. Blissfully quiet and imbued with a simple elegance, the home delivers a choice of living spaces and spills to a sheltered outdoor room. Think easy living, enveloped within considered gardens and lots of space for a growing family.
The home is just a few steps from the interlacing trails of Gubur Dhaura Heritage Park and the walking trails of Mulangaari Nature Reserve that extends with open grandeur to the east. There is a welcoming classic vibe to the form – light brick, pitched terracotta roof, broad driveway ushering to a double garage with internal access. A striking white façade frames the entryway, as synthetic grass, sandstone retaining walls and neatly clipped box hedging add to the “neat as a pin” first impression.
The precision continues within, as hybrid timber floors flow throughout, creating a lovely continuity. There is a generous foyer with a utility cupboard and a large front living and dining area. Morning light tumbles through the many windows and there is a continual dialogue with the serenity of the nearby bushland. Dining is informed by a large window that perfectly frames the pretty colours of hydrangeas, lavender and gardenias. One imagines sojourning for quiet adult time or intimate dinners with friends, the kids asleep and undisturbed within the opposing end of the home.
The family hub is a dynamic sunny affair with glass sliders opening to the north, where an outdoor terrace overlooks curated gardens. A big kitchen sits at one end in satisfying crisp white, with notes of stainless steel. There is a floating island for relaxed gathering and lots of storage, including a big pantry cupboard. We love the separate coffee bay, the enduring stone worktops and the convivial spirit that allows conversations to flow across the living and dining spaces. There is a harmony at work here as the inside blurs to outside, the terrace sheltered and fitted with downlighs, so you can dine alfresco by day or night.
The master bedroom is sequestered to the north and delivers a walk-in-robe and a generous ensuite bathroom. A big window frames the private back garden, capturing neatly clipped Japanese box hedging, weeping cherry tree, iceberg roses and flowering camelia. An additional three bedrooms, all with built-in-robes centre around a family bathroom with a bathtub. Both bathrooms are neatly finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in a relaxing combo of white and organic neutrals.
Franklin Life :
