Relaxing Tuscan vibes, lots of space and a fabulous indoor outdoor lifestyle define this renovated and extended four bedroom plus study home.
The home gazes out to open reserve, is nestled within pretty gardens and spills to a choice of decks. Family life takes on a holiday ease, think long summers spent poolside, entertaining and daily rituals informed by a down to earth peace, a lovely leafy privacy.
Devonport travels past Lyons Shopping hub, rising to meet the endless expanse of Oakley Hill Nature Reserve. The home sits back behind clipped hedges, twinkling silver birch. A cute street library graces the frontage and a driveway ushers to both a semi-enclosed and a three car, tandem carport. The brick form is painted earthy terracotta matched with sky blue, delivering a rich, sunny feel. Steps usher to an elevated front deck that overlooks the garden, with glimpses of the parklands across the way.
Dining, cooking and living are arranged in a u-shape, the front deck performing like a central atrium, welcoming light and nature within. Timber floors flow underfoot and the walls are freshly painted in gentle white. There is a lot of space here, the living area rolls on forever, connecting to a private home office. The dining area is edged by glass doors, so you can easily slip outside for drinks amidst the trees. And we love the kitchen, its timber hued cabinetry and tiled splashback in the bright colours of the Mediterranean. Think deep blues, sand and a playful mosaic that introduces pops of strawberry pink. A peninsula delivers a spot to gather and there is ample storage, including a wall of full height cupboards.
Timber panelling creates a soothing textural mood, the slender hallway ushering to three children’s bedrooms and a master suite, tucked away at the end. Here glass doors open to a large rear deck, overlooking the swimming pool. A bespoke timber bedhead adds a touch of retro cool and there is twin storage and an elegant ensuite bathroom. The remaining rooms have built-in-robes, with two serving up clever study nooks. The family bathroom is a delight, think claw foot, slipper bathtub set alongside an installation of glass bricks, so you can soak informed by natural light. The use of glass bricks is echoed within the hallway, delivering a lovely shimmer of sunshine.
One imagines warm days, spent beneath the reaching arms of an age-old tree, its leaves dappling the deck with shade. You can dine alfresco with friends, while the kids splash in the salt water pool. The back garden neatly paved, dotted with fruit trees, with a vegetable garden tucked away behind the storage shed. And there is no need to deliberate over invitation lists, the long carport doubling as a sheltered pavilion, so you can mark important milestones in grand style.
