Resort Style Home in a Premier Street

Professionally landscaped, the front garden is a showpiece setting for this 4 bedroom two storey home on a 787 sqm block in a premier cul-de-sac street. Desirably impressive yet low maintenance, the garden can be viewed from the Juliet balcony off the master bedroom above the home office and accessed from the kitchen and breakfast space as well as the combined lounge and dining room. There are 2 bathrooms plus a powder room and a remote controlled DLUG with storeroom, and further off street parking for 2 cars. Balinese themes, 5 star hotel finishes and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle layout combine to make it a home to entertain your most important guests and to enjoy in private or as a family. A princess-in-the-castle' style staircase, with its bay wall punctuated by vertical windows and large walk-in under stair storage, leads to two bedrooms in a southern wing.

Internal systems include intercom, ducted R/C air-conditioning, ducted vacuuming and gas heating outlets. The split level lounge has a media space that connects to the remote controlled DLUG for internal access, as well as flowing through glass doors to a charming Balinese Pavilion where you can dive directly from the timber decking into a gas heated saltwater pool. The pavilion has roll-up blinds imported from Bali that are used for shade, weather shielding and designer effect. Effortless sliding bi-fold doors and plantation shutters adorn all the living and dining spaces. Interesting rooflines give street appeal and internal ceiling lines create a high ceiling spaciousness. The modern chef's kitchen has sparkling black granite benches, plentiful honey coloured timber fascia cabinetry, S/S appliances, including a shiny 5-burner gas cooktop, ducted range hood and a marvellous S/S island bench with third sink and faucet. Under cover alfresco dining can be enjoyed from the front porch or beside the pool.

It is contemporary in design, and the 2 storeys are rendered brick so you can change the exterior colour to suit your mood. The whole structure looks fresh and current, having been repainted over the last 5 years. The kitchen has curry spice' walls, the rest of the house is in various strengths of gentle touch', while the exterior is in gnu tan'. Flooring treatments include glamorous wool carpets in the sleeping quarters and practical faux terracotta tiling in the living areas. The master bedroom has a large WIR with natural light and an inviting ensuite with a huge oval spa bath and double shower. The balcony is a place to draw in the marvellous view of rolling hills, a quiet street, and the commanding front garden laid out perfectly with camellia, gardenia, agapanthus, buxus and murraya hedges and two beautifully cultivated trees including a ficus. All other bedrooms have built-ins, including one on ground level, which could also be a second media room or guest room. Beside it is an elegant powder room. The main bathroom has 2 separate corner basins and a lovely deep bath.

It is a great entertaining house in an exclusive enclave with an homogeneous streetscape of high quality homes surrounding. It keynotes peaceful tranquillity, yet is only 45 mins to city. It's a mere 5 min walk to the bus stop. There's excellent shopping at Hornsby Westfield and Asquith Coles and it's equidistant from either Montview or Rofe parks for your sporting activities. Offering a leafy Wahroonga style residential feel, this property offers great value in terms of its size, quality finishes and location. Positioned in a cul-de-sac only a few doors down from the entrance to the National Park, the track that meets up with the Great North Walk.
