Expansive Indoor-Outdoor Family Entertainer Custom designed and built to the highest standards for a discerning family to spread out, relax and entertain in serene seclusion, this substantial five bedroom and study residence showcases extra-large proportions, multiple living areas and seamless connections to a stunning resort-style oasis. Privately set well back behind high-fenced landscaped garden, automatic gate entry for secure off-street parking introduces the striking double-storey profile of this expansive modern home on a 776m2 allotment (approx) with convenient access to surrounding lifestyle attractions. An ultra-wide central hallway launches an extensive layout where a north-facing office/study and a cinema room with a big screen, projector and surround-sound speakers are both fully-fitted for working from home and enjoying movie nights with the kids. Further on the ground-floor is a powder room, a full-size laundry and an air-conditioned bedroom for a family member or guests that incorporates a walk-in robe, a chic contemporary ensuite and double-glazed sliding doors to the garden. Complemented by a beautiful big family bathroom (double marble vanity, freestanding bath, frameless shower, heated towel rail) plus a versatile lounge retreat, the entire top-floor is dedicated to family accommodation offering four oversized bedrooms (built-in robes) including a light-filled main boasting a luxurious ensuite, walk-through robes and a wonderful north-facing balcony. Located at the rear is a vast indoor-outdoor zone that family and friends are going to love no matter what the occasion whether it's the rhythms and ruminations of daily life or large-scale gatherings from after-school socials and weekend downtime to milestone celebrations. Introduced by a huge gourmet kitchen with new Smeg appliances, soft-close storage, walk-in pantry and a stone-topped breakfast island, this impressive open-planned space extends from a living area to a dual-level void dining domain all framed by three sets of wide bifold doors linking directly to the great outdoors. Set within lush established garden with no-mow lawn fringed in towering palms, this magnificent alfresco sanctuary is an entertainment paradise where a solar-heated swimming pool sits securely behind a massive undercover deck with a separate lounge area (ceiling fan, open fireplace) flowing to a dining area (heat-strips, speakers) with a gas-plumbed BBQ kitchen including a cooktop. Additional attributes include zoned central gas and refrigerated cooling and heating, ducted vacuum, keyless entry, polished hardwood floorboards, under-stair storage, garden shed, rainwater tank and an oversized internal remote-control garage with copious fitted storage and rear-access roller door. Luxuriously large yet functional and low-maintenance for a first-class family lifestyle close to excellent primary and grammar schools, Ivanhoe's boutique cafe and shopping precinct, Burgundy Street, Austin and Mercy Hospitals, parkland, buses and the train station.
