THINK BIG

“Perfectly proportioned for growing families” – Alison Coopes

Children still ride their bikes in this superb Vaucluse enclave, even if they do their homework on iPads. The same lovely juxtaposition of 20th and 21st century living is found in this graceful 5bdrm family home. High decorative ceilings, original wood floors and a working word fireplace coexist with open plan, glass-lined and indoor/outdoor living and oversized bedrooms. The home’s adaptable floor plan can also accommodate a home office and/or children’s playroom. Master includes ensuite, walk-through robe and balcony. Huge family-oriented kitchen and sunroom extend outdoors to a large stone-paved courtyard, 12m (approx.) pool & an elegant privacy wall of mature trees.

•Unmatchable family location in a quiet, leafy street towards the head of the Vaucluse peninsula, very close to Vaucluse primary school.

•Watch the children in the pool while you work. The centrepiece of this home is its family-perfect open plan family room and kitchen (with gas fireplace) at the rear of the house – oversized, ending in a bank of glass bi-fold doors that blur the distinction between indoors and out, and overlooking the pool.

•The home’s original pride-of-place sitting room is currently a bedroom/guest room, but it is perfect for grown-up entertaining while children amuse themselves in the family room.

•Lounge and dining rooms adjoin one another and share original features – soaring plasterwork ceilings, classical iron fireplace and real timber floors.

•Extra-large second bedroom includes a lovely bay window and its own balcony. Huge master includes generous ensuite, large walk-through his/her wardrobe and balcony with glass pergola roof Overlooking the pool.

•Internal laundry. Plenty of storage. Single carport.
