From the moment you arrive at this impressive sanctuary you'll notice the breath-taking vistas and the unique architect design of this home. It is impossible not to love the lifestyle and privacy offered by this five acre hilltop retreat with 360 degree views of the valleys and pristine bushland in beautiful Upper Brookfield.
The charismatic home has been perfectly positioned on this breathtaking block. You will welcome glorious sunrises through the kitchen windows and adjacent covered alfresco. At the end of the day the sunsets are amazing and best seen from the west facing timber entertainment deck. This enormous deck provides both covered and open air levels, creating the perfect location for parties and family gatherings. The deck is usable in all weather thanks to eleven metres of sliding shutters.
The interior offers great space as well as character and you will be immediately taken by the impressive vaulted ceilings. There is an enviable view from every window with most rooms opening directly to the outdoors. The floor plan's multiple options sees numerous living areas, two fireplaces and a hidden wine cellar which offers general storage options as well as the perfect climate for your preferred vintages.
The family room is sunken to allow for breath-taking, four metre high ceilings and library shelving. This room has an imposing fireplace plus French Doors opening to the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. The elevated section overlooking the cavernous family room is currently used as a home office but could just as easily be utilised as a formal dining room or as a teenagers' retreat.
The main bedroom allows for great separation as it is located on the upper level of the home. It includes a generous parents' retreat, large walk-in robe, a spacious ensuite and opens to a full length balcony with an incredible view. On the lower level you'll find a rumpus room which provides plenty of options and could be utilised as a large home office, gymnasium, home theatre or potentially a fifth bedroom. The size and multiple living spaces of the home ensure that there are almost endless options.
The kitchen boasts hardwood timber flooring and is open plan to an inviting dining/living area with fireplace. This section of the home fully opens to the outdoors via stacker doors and a wide opening servery bar. The kitchen facilities include stone counters plus a timber topped island bench with a sizable breakfast bar. There is a SMEG six burner gas cooktop, a one metre wide electric oven, two drawer dishwasher, generous storage and abundant counter space. The home chef will love both the view and the kitchen's connection with other living spaces......it really is the heart of this home. The covered alfresco is ideal for barbecuing overlooking the swimming pool with its timber sundeck. Like every other area of the home, the swimming pool is notable for a brilliant view whilst also providing shade and total privacy.
Bedrooms two and three have both internal and external entry (opening to the covered entertainment deck on the home's western side). They share an adjacent bathroom and all bedrooms are generous in size. Bedroom three is particularly large, with a sizeable study space which has obvious potential for other uses. The northern wing offers the opportunity of dual living with separate living areas, private entry and bedroom four (which has a walk in robe as well as an adjacent bathroom).
There's 10.65 Kw of solar power, solar hot water and 90,000 litres of water storage on site. There's a generous steel framed shed with storage or workshop options, in addition to the main garage and carport. The secure brick and tile garage is remote opening and large enough to also provide a workshop or storage for bikes or gym equipment. The fully sealed driveway offers plenty of additional parking.
