Elevated In Every Sense

Positioned high above a sweeping green backdrop and firmly within the city boundary, this substantial 467sqm home and income residence delivers a rare combination of scale, versatility and outlook. Zoned for sought after Hillcrest schooling and only minutes from the university, this is a location that continues to attract families who value both education and proximity.

The architectural exterior blends classic weatherboard with striking vertical mahogany, creating a warm contemporary presence that sits confidently within its elevated setting. Upstairs is where the home truly opens up. Expansive open plan living stretches across the rear of the home, framed by full width glazing that captures the treetop outlook and fills the space with natural light. Large sliding doors open to a covered deck that runs the length of the home, creating a seamless extension of the living area and an exceptional platform for entertaining. Electric roller blinds in the living room allow light and privacy to be controlled instantly while maintaining the clean architectural lines of the space. At the centre sits a well appointed kitchen anchored by a substantial island bench. Behind it, a true wet scullery keeps preparation and service areas separate from the main living space. Practical details have been carefully considered, including subtly sloped flooring in the service areas for ease of cleaning. Three separate living zones provide genuine flexibility for modern family life. A formal lounge can be closed off when desired, while a third living space offers the ideal hang out area for teenagers or relaxed everyday living.

The bedroom layout has been thoughtfully arranged with the children's bedrooms grouped together upstairs, while the master suite enjoys its own sense of retreat. The ensuite features a fully tiled walk in shower with dual showering stations. Downstairs introduces another level of versatility. Designed with work from home capability in mind, the space includes a central seating area and three separate rooms, each with its own external access. This layout works equally well for consulting rooms, offices, additional bedrooms or flexible living. Comfort has been carefully addressed with zoned ducted air conditioning upstairs, supported by additional split system air conditioning, while solar contributes to long term efficiency.

A fully self contained flat further strengthens the property's appeal. With its own open plan living area, separate bedroom and bathroom, it provides excellent options for Airbnb income, extended family accommodation or long term rental.

The front section presents further opportunity. Plans have already been considered for a 10 metre swimming pool positioned directly off the main living area, and it is easy to envision how this would transform the outdoor space into a private resort style setting.

Large homes offering this level of scale, flexibility and outlook are rarely available in such a tightly held location. This is a property designed to adapt, perform and grow with its owners.
