The home has a sophisticated quality and presents the perfect venue for entertainers, the indoor areas merge beautifully with outdoor spaces that include a freestanding barbeque pavilion with warming open fire. Premium finishes are featured throughout and include a sleek, stone-benched German built kitchen with Gaggenau and Miele appliances, integrated cabinetry, and adjoining conservatory-style living room (or lanai) with built-in teppanyaki and grill. A dedicated dining room will play host to memorable gatherings and comfortably seats 12 guests. Rich jarrah polished floors contrast beautifully with crisp white walls and expansive picture windows frame glorious garden views.

A second bedroom also on this level enjoys an elevated aspect across a paved garden courtyard. A lower ground level includes a light-filled home office, large enough for several people to work together (an ideal home-based business proposition) It could also serve as a further independent living space that’s adjoined by a third (guest) bedroom. A full bathroom is also situated on this level, together with a theatre room, wine cellar, and gymnasium. If desired, enough space exists here for another bedroom to be added easily.
