UNDER CONTRACT MATT SMITH
Reminiscent of a European countryside retreat, this home sits proudly amongst the tree-lined serenity of Heywood Avenue.
The expansive 57m frontage is lined with lush hedging and manicured gardens, as you step inside the grand entry to discover an art gallery-style formal living room, where ornate coffered ceilings frame a grand marble fireplace with a gas log fire. Adjacent is a stately study or home office, offering peaceful views over the lush front gardens.
You'll pass a spacious and modern laundry, and a separate powder room as you arrive in the heart of the home. The vast open-plan living space unfolds with a designer kitchen at its core, an oversized waterfall marble island bench anchors the room and provides a focus for entertaining. Thoughtfully designed and custom-built to include a butler's pantry with an additional dishwasher, and abundant storage at every turn.
The adjoining family living room is complete with another gas log fire, and the dining area extends out to an oversized entertaining deck with a soaring glass pergola creating indoor-outdoor harmony that is perfect for year-round enjoyment. You'll enjoy terrace styling dining and entertaining, with panoramic views of the sprawling gardens and sparkling heated swimming pool and resort-style gazebo below.
Setting a high benchmark in luxury family living, the established grounds surrounding this home have something to offer the whole family. Privacy and serenity are found amongst the far-reaching, picturesque gardens with a custom-built footbridge leading you over the tranquil winter creek and extensive lawned areas lending a magical environment for children to play.
Back inside, the grand staircase leads to the upper level, bathed in natural light through oversized windows. The upper level holds four sizeable bedrooms with fantastic robe amenities. The luxurious main bedroom suite includes a walk-in robe and an indulgent ensuite with a spa bath. Three additional bedrooms include built-in robes and window bench seats with hidden storage, while the main bathroom boasts a freestanding bathtub and heated towel rails for additional comfort.
Beyond the main living areas, a glass hallway leads to side-by-side garaging under the main roof. Ascend the solid oak staircase to find a self-contained, fully furnished studio-a versatile space perfect for guests or as a potential Airbnb. The studio features an open-plan kitchen with premium appliances, a full-size bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with charming street views. This well-appointed retreat comfortably accommodates up to four people, thanks to a quality pull-out sofa bed in the living area.
