The Hills dream; a lake-fronted entertainer with dual access and an inspired re-invention…
One of only two homes to claim a true front row seat to the Woorabinda Lake, the scene couldn't be better set - nor more beautiful - for this epic multi-level home with the transformation to match its prized location and dual frontages, all just a Sunday stroll from Stirling village.
In collaboration with Abela Design, luxury builder Claridge Construction took an imposing home and turned it into a 5-bedroom showpiece of 21st-century style, comfort and freedom, reaching its crescendo at the rear open-plan addition.
Headlined by its central architectural staircase and a soaring 5-metre void that captures the treetops through its clerestory windows, the lower level flows like a dream and serves a space for every mood, occasion and family member.
The star: a Walls Brothers designer kitchen with butler's pantry, the full suite of Smeg appliances, moody terrazzo tile splashbacks, and an expansive 'waterfall 'island topped in stone that sparkles the moment a speck of light hits it.
Whether it's the lake-facing deck hovering over a 'fairy garden', the master bedroom's terrace in the treetops, the fire pit, or the alfresco pavilion/pool setting carved into its own outdoor entertainer's oasis; the way this automated home connects with its natural surrounds is something to behold.
With a built-in bbq, stone feature walling, ceiling fan and surround sound, it's no wonder the pavilion (and its partnering pool and gardens) was recognised as a HIA award finalist. The pool's electric heater ensures you can drag out swimming season to a year-round affair.
If you'd rather disconnect entirely, you could always sweat it out in the gym room, start a good book or blockbuster movie in the formal lounge (with home theatre provisions) or simply take a walk around the lake's looped walking trail that brings webbed-footed Rakali, bandicoots and abundant birdlife to your doorstep. The Hills dream is alive.
