Is this Merivale's finest residential property, you may well ask? This magnificent home offers the ultimate lifestyle providing a way of life second to none. This is a home where memories are made, and this departing family has plenty of those to treasure. But the children are now 'fully fledged', the nest is nearly empty, now is time to scale back a little.

Set on 1011sqm, a full 'quarter acre', and designed by illustrious architecture firm Trengrove and Blunt in robust rendered block, no expense has been spared by the current owners in an entire refurbishment. In true Trengove style, the design draws from the Mediterranean with timeless classic lines, clay tile roofing and rich timber joinery, double glazed of course.

Inside space and style are united with flair. Seemingly acres of Travertine flooring and black wrought iron give the nod to Italy and white painted shutters are reminiscent of Provence. Living areas float across the ground floor with spaces for gathering or for quiet reflection, for working or for relaxing. The capacious farmhouse-style kitchen is well appointed for culinary extravagance and fittings are just as upscale as you would anticipate. The upper level has a solid concrete floor, and all four bedrooms have ensuites. The master suite sits privately in a separate 'wing' and has a gas fire and a balcony. There is a heating system designed to cope with our most grim winter days and there is even a fully enclosed lift; perfect 'future proofing' as the years go by. Other details are too numerous to list here. Graceful and elegant, rest assured the quality of finish is remarkable.

Outside is just as impressive where every aspect is covered for entertaining or family fun. An indoor heated pool is contained in a huge pool house and a Wood Fire or Pizza oven takes pride of place in a beautifully landscaped patio area. Trees are up lit to highlight, and wall heaters can warm with the flick of a switch! Triple car garaging and extra parking for four vehicles behind the gates effortlessly handles the requirements of family and guests alike.

Properties such as this are difficult and protracted to replicate, especially in a location hard to better. These serious sellers have made the utmost of their time here and are ready to begin a new, albeit pared down, chapter. There is much to admire here, so your viewing should allow enough time to appreciate all the benefits. Secure your appointment today!
