A sensational fusion of family space and on-trend style in a sleek minimalist design, this as-new family home occupies a sprawling 1,015sqm (approx.) lot to indulge modern indoor-outdoor living. Set back from the street amid a quiet cocoon of double glazing, the home is infused with premium finishes and fixtures to create a soothing and stylish family sanctuary.

Tucked securely behind a high brick fence, the home welcomes guests to a sun-soaked interior wrapped by high ceilings and chic American Oak floorboards. A spacious lounge room offers a relaxed setting for family movie nights or refined get-togethers.

The immense open-plan domain is the heart of everyday living and entertaining, opening on three sides to seamlessly integrate the indoors and outdoors for en-masse celebrations. At the centre of the relaxation and dining spaces, the kitchen gathers family and friends around a corner island bar draped in stone, indulging the home chef with Smeg and Miele appliances and near-endless storage including a butler’s pantry.

A sheltered patio indulges year-round, indoor-outdoor revelries, enriched by a sparkling heated pool amid the grassy gardens where kids and pets can play in leafy privacy.

Upstairs, a central retreat fosters sibling play and family time together, while also segregating the parents’ and kids’ domains. Four bedrooms are lavishly sized for private retreat and study, each equipped with fitted walk-in robes and porcelain-swathed ensuites, including a luxe parental suite with a north-facing balcony. Downstairs, a fifth robed bedroom is adaptable as a home office, complemented by a two-way ensuite.

Finished by an internal-access triple garage with rear vehicular access for a trailer or boat, the home assures comfort and security with a host of today’s favourite mod-cons. Situated mere metres from Greythorn Central’s eateries and shopping, the home is an easy amble from city-bound trams, Greythorn Park, and local schools, while minutes from the Eastern freeway.
