32 Cicada Glen Road, INGLESIDE NSW 2101

Nestled on 1600sqm (approx.) of rolling lawns with native bushland providing a tranquil natural privacy screen in every direction, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were anywhere but a 10-minute drive to shops, schools and pristine beaches and only 30 minutes from the city. The substantial double-level residence has been architect-designed to replicate an authentic country homestead while providing the luxurious and sensibilities of modern-day family living. Beyond an elegant cement-rendered façade, embraced by wide timber-posted verandas, it is accessed via a wide central entrance hall, complete with an adjoining powder room for guests With earthy cedar framed window's, exposed timber doors, select timber flooring and soaring ceilings setting the scene, the hall flows through to an extensive living space warmed by a cozy slow combustion fireplace that opens to the enormous north rear veranda, plus a dining room housed under a soaring vaulted ceiling that flows via bi-folds to the front veranda overlooking the sparkling pool and spa. A Corian island kitchen with a gas stove and dishwasher overlooks the living spaces and comes complete with a separate wet bar with a wine fridge, plus a walk-in butler's pantry. There's a lounge room/media room, five king-size bedrooms with built-ins opening to the verandas, including a master suite with a walk-in robe, study and ensuite, and the bathrooms are finished in stylish contemporary themes with a spa bath in the main. The current owners have the approved usage of an additional 5 acres of crown land that is leased for a modest fee every year; this land allows for a multitude of uses. The exclusive tenure creates a semi-rural, estate-like ambience with wide rolling lawns filled with wallabies, kangaroos and abundant native birdlife, nudging the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Additional features include a remote-controlled double lock-up garage with internal access, plenty of off-street parking, ducted air conditioning and vacuum systems, ceiling fans, an underground cellar and an enclosed chicken coup and veggie garden. Escape to the sanctuary of your own secluded "country-like" hideaway with Mona Vale or Terrey Hills village, schools, the pristine waters of Pittwater and Sydney's pristine Northern Beaches all within a 10-minute drive and 30 minutes to Sydney's CBD.
