It’s fair to say this pool and outdoor entertaining zone sparkles, but it certainly doesn’t shade the rest of the property. Take the gabled forms designed by Threefold Architecture and skilfully clad in schist, cedar and dark plaster. The expertly assembled pavilion forms simply dazzle. You’ll find gems inside, too. The dining and living spaces, for instance, benefit from a vaulted ceiling. These rooms flank a bespoke kitchen – a chef’s dream come true, think timber fluted cabinetry in black and a concealed pantry door. Turn left from the entry and the bedroom corridor unfolds, culminating in the main suite, complete with an ensuite and large walk-in-robe. Along the way you’ll find two more bedrooms, a study, bathroom, powder room and a separate lounge that doubles as a media room.

At the opposite end of the 323sqm house, you’ll find a laundry and a triple garage. Take the carpeted stairs up and you’ll come across a guest bedroom suite in the loft above. Every room has been beautifully finished, but this home is about more than good looks and attention to detail. It’s also about convenience, comfort and security and has the latest in smart home technology. The PDL Wiser system allows homeowners to control and monitor their lighting, heating, blinds and security from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet or computer.
