With this 5 acre property you are spoilt for choice as the unrivalled 180 degree uninterrupted views to the rear offer it all. Situated at the end of a picturesque tightly held cul de sac and accessed via a curved driveway, the first thing you notice upon entering the property are the outstanding views. Backing onto the Berowra Valley National Park and situated atop a natural valley, a myriad of native wildlife including wallabies, echidnas, lyrebirds, black cockatoos, kookaburras and an endless array of parrots are regular visitors. The expansive covered entertaining area is a great place to witness the wildlife, the mist rising from the valley after rain, and catching either those majestic sunrises or colourful sunsets. The patio maximises the northerly aspect and is large enough for any gathering, whilst offering separate zones for alfresco dining and casual lounging. Accessed via the open plan family, dining and kitchen area, and positioned adjacent the 11m saltwater inground pool, it is great for family enjoyment and relaxation.
The four bedroom, two bathroom residence is positioned to take in the views from the main bedroom and all living areas, offering uninterrupted vistas to the horizon. The rooms to the front of the home do not miss out with natural rock outcrops and retaining walls lining the low maintenance native garden providing its own serene bush outlook. Extra features in addition to town water, such as underfloor heating in the ensuite; ducted vacuum system; solar hot water; and gas cooking, add to the overall comfort of this home. Additionally, the insulated home stays cool in summer, yet takes in all the lower pitched winter sun, keeping cooling and heating needs to a minimum. Working from home or streaming your favourite TV programs are a breeze with fast wireless NBN and good mobile phone coverage which complements the especially quiet location.
A brick 2 car garage with workshop is attached to the house, whilst a separate 3 bay shed with 2 entry roller doors is positioned at the end of the driveway. In addition to a recently refreshed ensuite and kitchen, the home has also been painted inside and out leaving you with nothing to do except move in. For those wanting to add their own flair, with no internal load bearing walls there is scope to readily redesign or extend either up or out, or if the budget permits now or in the future, redevelop to build your dream home in a setting where the views can never be built out.
There are several lawn areas for children or dogs to play, or to install play equipment. For the more adventurous there are trails to explore and even tree houses to be built. The rear of the property includes a unique 50m long limestone rock platform naturally contoured over the years by the weather and the lush native gardens blend seamlessly with the surrounding bushland creating a peaceful sanctuary. For the nature lover there are many gullies, caves and ledges to appreciate, with the rear boundary also backing onto a creek supporting the wildlife which abound in this nature's paradise.
