Property Description:
The seclusion and privacy is immediately apparent as you enter the property and head along the 700 metre driveway, through farmland and native bush, continuing up to the crest of a hill which commands views over Steels Creek and Kinglake National Park beyond. Gardens surround the house, with the acreage in front of the house adjoining parkland below.
From the outside, the house has the look of a modern homestead except for one very prominent detail - the 9 metre stretch of glass along the middle. This is where the dynamic of the house morphs into something quite unexpected and attention-grabbing. The four massive glass doors can slide completely out of view, bringing the outdoors right into the living room. And what a living room it is! This expansive, open plan entertaining area has the distinctive style of an upmarket, contemporary resort, with the white polished tile floor, the plush long lounge, overhead fans, open fire and wall mounted plasma television. The vast space includes an elegant dining zone and a kitchen of amazing proportions and appointments, beautifully designed in blond timber with white stone bench tops. A panoramic picture window above the sink bench top, frames close-up garden scenery and captures rivers of natural light. Not surprisingly, the kitchen has been featured in national press. The largely pale fresh palette of colours is spiked with occasional deep, but muted, colour highlights. The lighting is also carefully designed to enhance atmosphere and mood.
Continuing the luxury lifestyle theme, there are two master bedrooms - one at each end of the house - with bay windows and deluxe ensuites. The floorplan includes two more bedrooms, spa bathroom, sunroom, study and a separate cloakroom/powder room.
