Some homes sit on the land. This one lives among the trees. Designed by Williams Burton (now Williams Burton Leopardi) and built by Fairweather Homes, it sits beside a lush green reserve where tall gums, birdsong and visiting wildlife are part of everyday life. With its north aspect and city views, the home has a sense of place that is very hard to find this close to the city.
From the street, the architecture makes its mark. Charcoal cladding meets sweeping, upturned rooflines lined in warm timber, and layers of tropical planting draw you up the steps to the front door. Inside, solid blackbutt floors and a sculpted timber staircase lead you up to where this home really comes alive.
The top floor is given over to living. Beneath a raked ceiling, walls of glass and highlight windows wrap the living area in greenery, so you feel you're floating in the canopy. Step out onto the balcony and the city skyline appears through the branches, a view that's just as good with a morning coffee as with an evening glass of wine. The kitchen is timeless by design, with clean lines and quality materials that will never date. A marble waterfall island sits at its centre, set against a full wall of rich timber joinery that hides the pantry and fridge, with a 900mm cooker for the keen home chef. A powder room completes the level.
The bedroom level below is calm and private. The main bedroom looks straight into the garden and has a walk-in robe and an ensuite with heated floors for winter mornings. Next door, a separate retreat opens to a covered deck above the pool, ideal as a parents' sitting room, a home office or a quiet place to read. Bedrooms two and three both look out to the pool and are served by a family bathroom with a separate bath, along with a generous laundry.
A lift connects all three levels, so the home is just as easy to live in at every stage of life. Down on the lower ground floor, a huge rumpus room is ready for pool comps, movie nights or the teenagers. There's also a dedicated wine cellar, a workshop for weekend projects, extra storage and a big garage with room for three to four cars.
Outside, stone paving frames the pool and its spa, a timber deck sets the table for long summer lunches, and easy-care gardens blend into the greenery of the reserve. At dusk, with the house lit up and mirrored in the water, it's hard to believe the CBD a short commute.
When you're ready to explore, the area's many nature walks start close to home, and the beach is an easy drive away.
