Located in the prestigious Carlton Estate, this luxurious two-level residence has been architecturally designed, drawing its inspiration from contemporary European living.
The gated property features a bush-lined driveway to the front of the home. Through an elegant fully glassed facade, you’re greeted by an opulent foyer with a large feature staircase leading to the upper level.
The interior boasts a variety of formal and informal living spaces. Multiple entertainment areas are arranged to open out to a large northern balcony where there is an Italian-inspired outdoor living space.
On the lower level, to one side of the foyer, a gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry and granite island bench sits opposite a formal dining area. On the other side, a magnificent lounge room, family room, rumpus and sunroom flow seamlessly between each other. They are segregated from a private guest bedroom, which includes its own bathroom.
A gymnasium with sauna and indoor swimming pool are also found on the ground floor.
The upper level plays host to four king-sized bedrooms, including a luxury master suite that includes an en suite with a view. Through sliding doors, the master suite and another bedroom, lead to a north-facing balcony.
Other features include manicured gardens, ducted vacuum, ample storage, high ceilings, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a double garage, plus nine-by-six metre shed, large asphalt driveway and carpark, communal bore, access to an eight-hectare horse paddock and large water tanks.
