Expansive Home on 1265 sqm approx and Deep Valley Views

Deep, quiet, peaceful valley views can be witnessed from 3 of the 5 bedrooms, the dining room, front deck, billiards room and kitchen of this spacious home. There are also 2 bathrooms and garaging for 3 cars. The house is positioned for the ultimate in privacy on a massive 1265sqm approx of land. The main relaxation and entertainment spaces flow effortlessly one to the other, are extensive, and are on one level. This lovely home has a solar heated pool, surrounded by a lush and soothing palm and gardenia grove with meditation patio and boardwalk. Perfectly clipped green lawns lead you to an enormous undercover deck with fairy lights, and into a family room with a bar and combustion fireplace, and to a north deck that also adjoins the kitchen and breakfast room. The sitting and dining room opens through maple French doors onto a wide deck facing the inspiring view. Renovations both inside and out over the last 5 years have given this home a palpable, undeniable, quality of love and of satisfaction with life. The rumpus/billiards room has a contemporary log fireplace. The pool house doubles as a powered workshop and there is a wine cellar between the single garage and the remote controlled double garage (which has a huge north facing window in it). You will be very impressed with the timber kitchen that has great bench space, a S/S Chef oven and a Ceran Chef induction cook top. The tranquility continues through to the two queen sized bedrooms, two single bedrooms and the king sized master suite. The latter has a glassed-in bay shaped end with a sliding door to directly into the garden, large built-ins, and a spacious bathroom with twin basins in the large vanity and a frameless shower. Enjoy the vistas of green from every room, the even temperature from reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning and the convenience of ducted vacuuming. Take picturesque drives to Galston for the gardening outlets and farmers' produce. Nip into Hornsby for Westfield department store, boutique and supermarket shopping, and every imaginable professional service, bank, hardware, autocare, etc. The district is well known for its love of sports, and Rofe Park is just one of the many quality venues to enjoy with tennis courts, oval, dog park and more. The upper north shore also offers a host of iconic private schools, selective schools and public schools all within easy reach of Hornsby Heights. Another feature admired by residents is the choice of waterways nearby, the trees and the many bushwalking and cycling trails available.
