41 Lake View Parade

Once every 5-10 years or so, you're fortunate in this industry to be presented with a home so brilliantly conceived in its design and perfectly executed in its delivery that you just want to put it in your own pocket, rather than take it to market. This is one such piece of remarkable real estate. With its casual off street parking to the front, and laneway garage access to the rear to top and tail the practical elements of arrival, you're then cradled in feature after feature bringing to life every lifestyle option you could possibly want, from separate studio accommodation to the home's entertainment centrepiece, an all-season outdoor kitchen and lounge with slow combustion fireplace to warm those Winter nights and fans for cooling in Summer. A small, lush lawn for bocce and a sparkling resort-style pool provide space for outdoor family fun. Next, it's a few steps to a mezzanine outdoor dining space giving you the connection to the internal elements, and its here you're met by the boldly conceived industrial-look kitchen with its cast concrete benches, softened with the turquoise, Indian ceramic splash back for aesthetic originality and butler's pantry for functional practicality. Bi-folding windows keep the busy ones connected to the relaxing members of the family. An open plan lounge room with vaulted ceiling and views overlooking the outdoors then leads to one of my favourite spaces - the "cousin's bedroom", a uniquely bespoke idea of double-double-bunks in top to toe configuration for the making of special holiday memories by chatty kids who should have been asleep hours ago. Finally, the stunning lines of the architecturally inspired, angled hallway deliver you to three spacious bedrooms with room for king sized beds which feature combinations of raw, compressed sheeting and soft furnishings, intimately lit the way it should be. The pivot hinged front door stands guard at the entry and welcomes your guests in from the perfectly presented landscaped front garden to complete the setting. This home really is something special, and with expectations in the range of just $2.25 to $2.35M, you'll be securing a truly one-off residential masterpiece for just a fraction of the lifestyle value you and your family will be enjoying for the many years to come. And you can't buy that. Inspection is by twilight open home viewing on Wednesdays and daytime Saturdays, or by mid-week private appointment. For a complete list of features, please call or email.
