A little bit retro. A whole lot of wow. And a lifestyle that's anything but ordinary.
Tucked away along a garden-lined driveway, beyond 2,263m² of beautifully secluded grounds, lies a Hawthorndene hideaway that feels a world away from the everyday. Eccentric, expansive and bursting with personality, this extraordinary 1973 residence combines vintage glamour, resort-style living and the kind of character you simply can't recreate.
Think Palm Springs cool, a sparkling central pool, spectacular gardens and room for everyone. Add two self-contained units, a sauna, cellar and exceptional parking, and you have a home that invites you to live differently, entertain more often and enjoy a whole lot more space.
Your own private resort
Follow the winding driveway through lush established gardens, with a winter creek adding to the peaceful setting, before discovering the home's showstopping centrepiece: a salt-chlorinated, solar-heated swimming pool.
Picture long summer afternoons by the water, friends gathering around the built-in barbecue and evenings that stretch well beyond sunset. With generous entertaining areas, a sauna for a little indulgence and an enormous cellar to proudly showcase your wine collection, this is a home made for embracing the good life.
Retro soul, modern comfort
Lovingly held by the same family for more than 25 years, the home retains its wonderfully quirky original features and unmistakable mid-century personality, complemented by fresh paint, new carpet, zoned ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling.
The generous family room sets the scene for relaxed living and lively gatherings, with a vintage bar, abundant natural light and sweeping pool views through glass sliding pocket doors
The adjoining dining area flows into a character-filled kitchen featuring original hardwood cabinetry, Bosch induction cooktop, dishwasher, self-cleaning wall oven, convection microwave and walk-in pantry. A spacious walk-through laundry could even become an impressive butler's pantry.
Palm Springs-inspired planter boxes, original detailing and decorative window tiles add further charm along the hallway.
Space to spread out
The main residence offers four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite is a retreat in its own right, with timber panelling, pool views, his-and-hers walk-through robes and an original ensuite featuring a marble-topped vanity, double shower heads and separate bath.
Three additional bedrooms, two with built-in robes, provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office.
And then there's the bonus accommodation.
Two extra spaces. Endless possibilities.
Independently accessed via a second driveway, two self-contained units each feature a kitchenette, ensuite and new carpet, providing an additional two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Perfect for extended family, independent teenagers, guests, a home business or potential supplementary rental income, they offer exceptional flexibility while maintaining privacy. Previously returning $240 per week each, they add another dimension to this remarkable property.
Room for all the extras
With space for approximately 8 vehicles, parking is a standout. The main residence includes a double carport with drive-through access to an oversized double garage, while the units have their own carport and additional off-street parking. Three-phase power adds further practicality.
