Nestled into the base of the prestigious and family-friendly 39 Degrees South Country Estates subdivision sits this substantial 349m2 (approx) four bedroom home. Originally an architecturally designed marvel on an 8000m2 (approx) section it has been beautifully and sympathetically refreshed and renewed by the current owners post Cyclone Garbrielle. An entertainer's dream, the home is designed with beautifully integrated indoor-outdoor flow, boasting a choice of entertaining areas including a 12m inground pool, a covered deck area with LouvreTec roofing, Warmington Outdoor fireplace with built-in pizza oven and Sunshade clear screens to help enclose the space into yet another warm semi-outdoor space. Barn style sliding doors feature throughout the home, as well as built-in window seats, a sprawling kitchen and scullery area, a central dining and living room and another separate lounge/media room. The lengthy hallway provides guest living at one end while family can tuck quietly away on the other. Laid mainly to lawn with established plantings still in place, the extensive grounds are both a fantastic family playground and a great canvas for further landscaping.
