Description: Exemplifying the signature style elements of a Storybook Home, and oriented to celebrate breathtaking elevated hinterland vistas, this impeccably maintained and lovingly updated Mount Eliza dream home set on 1419sqm* offers an adaptive, multi-generation family friendly layout, high-tech energy efficiencies, a self-contained five-star pool house/studio, and outstanding alfresco amenities including a natural water ionizing system, heated mosaic tiled swimming pool overlooking terraced landscaped gardens. Harmoniously wrapped in native-inspired greenery, bluestone paving, and silvery merbau decking, the solidly built redwood weatherboard home has been constructed over three abundantly glazed split levels to maximise the natural light and showcase the panoramic backdrop across the Moorooduc Plains to Main Ridge and Arthurs Seat. Soaring vaulted ceilings and a wood fire heater create a cosy ambience in the elevated main living area, while a custom breakfast bar set below bi-fold windows in the family living/dining zone is the perfect spot to soak in the spectacular views. A third living area can be closed off or opened out for free-flowing entertaining and the gourmet stone-topped kitchen, which also offers mesmerising vistas, is exceptionally equipped with dual Westinghouse multi-function ovens, a Westinghouse five-burner gas cooktop, a Fisher & Paykel plumbed in French door fridge freezer, and Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher. The elevated main bedroom is privately zoned, oriented towards the views, and features custom built-in robes, and a fully tiled shower ensuite. There is also a second main bedroom, with walk-in robe, shower ensuite and front garden outlooks, the third bedroom with built-in robes, while the upper-level loft-style fourth bedroom, with amazing views, could also function as a work-from-home space. The skylit principal bathroom has a built-in bath/shower and heated towel rail, while the pool house/studio (or fifth bedroom) has a luxuriously appointed ensuite bathroom and could be ideal for teenager, grandparent, or guest accommodation. With sweeping rural outlooks from the merbau decked sunlounge area, the sparkling mosaic tiled swimming pool, custom designed and locally built, has a natural water ionisation system, ideal for sensitive skin, and is equipped with a Zodiac automated cleaner and Zodiac electric heat pump. Recently installed and still under warranty, there are two solar PV systems (6.66kW and 6.16kW) plus an interconnected LG 10kW battery with backup blackout functionality. Additional features include an EV charger, 2,000 litre water tank, vast under house storage, under stair storage, laundry with external access, central ducted heating/cooling, and split systems in the loft and poolhouse.
