39 Cedarleigh Road

Tucked away at the end of a long, winding private driveway, lined with a lush canopy of aged trees and rich foliage, lies an expansive architecturally designed residence that feels worlds away from the hustle of modern life. As if hidden in plain sight, this 2.5-acre private sanctuary offers a rare rainforest lifestyle yet lies within easy walking distance of the energy and convenience of Kenmore's best amenities. The moment you turn into the drive, the pace of the day simply slows down. As the street noise fades, replaced by the rhythmic crunch of the drive and the song of native birds, you arrive at a stunning porte-cochère. This soaring architectural statement provides a stately weather-protected welcome to the circular drive. A custom, rustic timber door swings open to reveal a foyer of impressive height, where vaulted timber ceilings set the architectural tone for the residence beyond. Sweeping to the left of the foyer, the formal lounge and dining wing serves as the home's sophisticated soul. Here, soaring timber ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the rainforest landscape like a living gallery piece. A statement wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, offering a flickering golden glow for winter evenings, while in summer, the windows invite the beautiful north-east breezes to flow effortlessly through the space. To the right of the foyer is a large home office, fitted with generous desk space and bookshelves. A large window captures loads of natural light and a commanding view of the driveway, where the only commuters you'll see arriving are your guests and the local kookaburras. Just past the office, the home opens into an expansive family wing. Mirroring the formal lounge, floor-to-ceiling glass acts as a transparent border between the interior and the lush rainforest landscape, flooding the room with light and drawing in those constant north-easterly breezes. A long stretch of custom cabinetry topped with sleek stone provides both ample storage and a convenient hub for media. This clever design doubles perfectly as a wet bar or coffee bar, allowing you to host friends against the backdrop of vibrant, living greenery. Strategically located at the heart of the home, between the formal and family rooms is the gleaming contemporary kitchen. Sleek, modern, and minimalist, it features fresh white 2-pac cabinetry, reconstituted stone benches, and a suite of premium Neff and Bosch appliances, including induction cooktop & integrated wall oven and microwave. The oversized island is the home's central gathering point. It is perfect for a chaotic family breakfast, afternoon homework sessions, or serving as a grand buffet for large gatherings. A generous butler's, space for an extra fridge and loads of storage, ensures the heavy lifting of entertaining can remain elegantly out of sight. While perfectly placed to anchor the indoor living areas, the kitchen truly comes into its own when the home is opened to the terrace, providing a direct and easy connection for alfresco dining. The transition between indoors and out is seamless with large bifold doors retracting to make the most of that coveted north-east aspect. From the joyous chaos of family milestones to refined catered events, this terrace handles any occasion with ease. Overlooking the infinity pool, it serves as the ultimate 'outdoor room' - just as suited to large-scale hosting as it is to quiet mornings with a book in hand. Perhaps the finest vantage point on the entire property is from within this 12m x 5.5m infinity-edge pool itself, where the water appears to merge with the forest canopy. At the water's edge, a sun-drenched timber platform provides the perfect spot to lounge or dry off while soaking in the quiet. The terrace flows effortlessly onto a wide expanse of level lawn offering an elegant extension for garden parties to spill over, or a safe, sunny playground for children and pets to roam within sight of the pool. From here a masterfully crafted timber boardwalk leads you through the trees to a championship synthetic tennis court. Floodlit for evening matches and featuring two dedicated viewing platforms, the court (like the pool) is completely uninhibited by neighbours. This is true privacy: 2.5 acres of absolute peace where your only audience is the forest. Returning inside, the home reveals a brilliantly considered floor plan designed to evolve with your family. This is a residence that caters to every age and stage - from the early years of young children to the independence of teenagers and the requirements of multi-generational living. The upper level is dedicated entirely to the parents' retreat. The bedroom itself extends onto a private balcony with an elevated perspective over the rainforest, while the walk-in robe is light drenched with plenty of hanging and storage options. The ensuite is a serene, beautifully finished space, pairing rich oak textures with a double vanity, a generous walk-in shower, and a deep soaking bath to offer a genuine sense of retreat. A versatile room adjacent to the master suite provides a wealth of options, serving equally well as a nursery, a second home office, or a luxurious dressing room. Thoughtful separation continues downstairs in the dedicated family wing. Here, two oversized bedrooms are designed as a private "pod" for children or teenagers. Both rooms feature integrated desks and generous proportions, providing a functional, independent space for younger family members to study and retreat. These bedrooms are serviced by a large family bathroom with two vanities, combined shower/bath, and separate toilet. For convenience the spacious laundry, with extensive storage is also located on this level. Located at the end of the family wing is a king-sized guest suite, complete with its own kitchenette, private ensuite, and a secluded balcony.
