Secreted away from the world on a verdant 2.5-acre estate flanked by established eucalypts, this 3-bedroom plus study entertainer's residence magnificently blends new and old, with crisp contemporary lines harmoniously contrasting with the home's timeless traditional attributes. Escape from suburbia in lush rural style, bathed in an abundance of natural light at every turn with a seamless link to its wondrous poolside alfresco zones. Hidden beyond full-height fences and a meandering asphalt return driveway, the home's timeless brick facade encases a complete family lifestyle, introduced by classic slate flooring that works beyond a formal lounge with an open fireplace to an expansive family, dining and kitchen domain. Almost entirely fluent to the adjoining alfresco area courtesy of extensive walls of glazing that allow an abundance of natural light, the gourmet kitchen is completely equipped with a timber preparation island, edged by brand-new Westinghouse cooking appliances and an integrated Asko dishwasher amongst sublime stone benches. Entertain in style on the extensive Blackbutt deck that's big enough for the grandest of gatherings with family and friends, primed for summertime enjoyment with an inground salt-chlorinated heated 11-metre pool bathed in northern light. The main retreat is an all-encompassing hotel-like experience with an indulgent twin-vanity ensuite with a separate powder room and dressing room, matched by two additional robed bedrooms, a study/fourth bedroom and an original spa bathroom. Two completely fenced paddocks with shelters provide options for hobby farming, complemented by a chicken coop, a 6m x 9m garage/workshop, ducted heating, air conditioning, two endless hot water systems, purpose-built vegetable gardens, a wood heater and additional garaging for three cars. Located on the edge of town, just moments from major townships, excellent schools and Peninsula Link, it includes ducted heating and split system AC and ceiling fans. *Please Note: Photo ID required for all inspections
