Accessed via a long driveway giving it immense privacy and a true sense of arrival, this Snell designed residence is a slice of paradise with a distinct Palm Springs vibe and leafy Blackbutt Reserve as a constant backdrop. Cocooned in beautiful landscaping showcasing a bold plant palette of fragrant Frangipanis, eye-catching succulents and towering bamboo, a stunning revamp has brought the property right up to date with angular lines and walls of glass that let natural light flood inside while allowing you to take in the beauty of the stunning natural scenery. An immaculate set of interior and exterior spaces comprise social and private rooms, all free-flowing and strongly connected to the surroundings. The main living expanse encompasses lounge, dining, sitting and an island kitchen featuring a suite of top-quality appliances including an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer. Outdoor living is a prized feature, whether cooling off in the solar heated pool, entertaining family and friends alfresco or relaxing throughout the massive 1,940sqm block. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms all cleverly tucked away out of sight, there is also plenty of opportunity to find your own peace and tranquility, even if the business of everyday life is in full swing.
