Peace, privacy and opulence is assured at this prestigious Strathfieldsaye property. Set on 3946m2 (approximately one acre) of manicured gardens, and backing onto the Sheepwash Creek, this rare listing offers a true sanctuary from the world beyond. Discerning buyers will be captivated by the sheer elegance and beauty of both the home and the landscape, starting with the slow drive in between high hedges and deciduous trees. The bespoke home was custom designed to stand the test of time. A wide, elevated, iron-lace veranda wraps around the home, creating inviting alfresco areas and garden views from every angle. An approx. 6KW solar panel array helps reduce the power bills. A truly generous floorplan consists of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a home office and three living areas. The wide front entrance with side lead light opens to a polished ironbark timber floor, 3mt (ten-foot) ceilings, decorative cornice, wide skirting boards and an elegant Victorian-style archway. To the right is a parents' retreat, consisting of a large master bedroom, walk-in-robe, and an as-new luxury ensuite. Here, a wide frameless shower, and a stone-topped vanity set the standard. Beautiful heated tiling is reflective of the considered interior design throughout. The first living zone currently houses a gleaming black grand piano beside a blackwood bar, with built-in feature cabinets, fridges and wine storage. A warm and inviting lounge area features luxury Axminster carpet and a gas flame heater with timber mantlepiece. Beside is the ultimate home office, with custom joinery. The further three bedrooms wrap around a child-friendly living room, each with its own unique character, soft wallpapers and beautiful light fittings. The original family bathroom has a wide shower, an original clawfoot bath, and a timeless tessellated tiled floor. The third living area is where family memories will be made. A wall of fold-away glass doors opens to the veranda, and a paved piazza with vine-covered pergola beyond. The as-new kitchen is befitting of the home's integrity. Stone benches, shaker doors and pot drawers and a walk-in-pantry feature. A standout is the black 900mm Falcon oven and custom-designed rangehood. Outside, established garden rooms are framed by hedges. Bore and tank water have helped establish and maintain a stunning formal landscape and lush floral displays - all with views to the tree-lined creek trail beyond, that provides access to Strathfieldsaye shops and schools.
