An outstanding luxury home displaying the look of natural timbers against the backdrop of a tropical rainforest. No matter how long you look at this home you are hard pressed to fault its design, choice of materials, workmanship or presentation.
Being on a hill, the home sits at eye level from the street, and what a great view that is. Having been designed by Bennett Design and built by the award winning builders Overlander Homes in 2004, this elevated four bedroom home is real gem.
Construction is custom orb highlighted by dark and rich Merbau timber decking, stairs, and screens. Internal floors are made of Spotted Gum while door frames and skirtings are all Tasmanian Oak. Sandstone paving surrounds the resort style pool and quartz retaining walls feature in the front garden.
A feature wall separates the bed from mirrored built-in-robes creating privacy and a clean look in the master bedroom while French doors, to the balcony, and louvres give unhindered views of the lush rain forest canopy. A "soft under foot" pebble floor in the ensuite shower is going to be missed by the owner. Upstairs also includes a study, the family bathroom and two other bedrooms.
A curved feature wall hides the private areas of the home from the very spacious lounge/dining and kitchen area. The kitchen has all you need: gas cooktop, island bench with double sink, pantry and ample cupboards and drawers. There are two verandahs, one at front for guest entry and the large verandah rear for dining and entertaining.
The upstairs area is fully air conditioned with split system air conditioning but enjoys good dry season breezes.
The downstairs bedroom, laundry and third bathroom are all of concrete construction and would be the natural choice for cyclone shelter should the need arise.
Parking under the house is for about 4-5 cars. The drive way is exposed aggregate and an electronic gate with intercom adds security and the benefit of keeping dry during those monsoonal downpours.
The fully reticulated gardens are more formal in the front yard but the rear yard is like a mini version of the botanical gardens complete with paths, gardens beds and native and tropical trees. The 1000m2 block backs onto Que Noy park and is only minutes from the city. The owners leave behind a beautiful home with awesome gardens that are a testimony to their hard work.
