A contradiction perhaps, but this bold imposing home on a prominent corner in the heart of Merivale, is in fact a private haven, a secluded sanctuary where a city life can be lived within enclosed walls of comfort and style. Built in 2013 on a 506sqm North facing site, the house sits squarely with its back to the street. Electric gates securely shut the world out, but behind, a large forecourt bordered with lush planting, has parking for several vehicles in front of extra roomy double garaging.

This is a large, elegant, contemporary home offering almost 300sqm of interior space, designed with accommodation to suit a myriad of buyers of all ages and stages. The master bedroom is downstairs in an independent wing with bespoke joinery in the WIR and a wonderful bathroom with a built in dressing table. There are three further bedrooms upstairs. Huge open plan living opens to the North, there is a separate formal lounge or media room, and extra living or study space on the upstairs landing. Families are well catered for here. Décor, as you might expect, is lavish and opulent. Predominantly white inside, black and soft grey accents are elegant and chic. High quality shutters adorn the windows, heating solutions include underfloor, heat pumps, and two gas fires, and the kitchen and scullery are meticulously appointed with high-end fittings designed for everyday living and easy entertaining.

Outdoors is where buyers are certain to be awed! Magnificently landscaped with no expense spared by the current owners, the sun-drenched sheltered courtyard has been transformed into a series of partitioned outdoor rooms adding al fresco living space not just during Summer but almost year round. Electric louvres cover a seating area with a gas fire or pizza oven, and an outdoor kitchen has a fridge, barbeque, and plenty of storage. Plantings in this area are prolific. Raised beds are full to brimming and taller trees and shrubs on the boundaries add privacy. This is a luxuriant green space, a showpiece, and possibly the 'tour de force' of the property!

Our sellers, after ten wonderful years here, are retiring to Russley Village. They are looking forward to seeing another family enjoy this fabulous property as much as they have. Come and see if that family might be yours!
