'Homes like this rarely come up. The owners built it in 2006 and this is the first time it's been offered for sale. You can be at the lake in under a minute, and the backyard really shows what a family home on this scale can be.' - Saeed Moghaddam
Early mornings in The Peninsula start at the water. Just 75m from your front gate, the lake is already busy with walkers, prams and the odd early fisherman. Loop the path as the mist lifts off the water and come home past wide, leafy streets where the houses sit back behind generous lawns. Behind its rendered pillars, black palisade fence and electric gate, this home is the one with the palms and red-mulched gardens, on a sweeping 810m² block with a 34m frontage on the curve of Riviera Way. Inside the double timber doors, the foyer rises the full height of the house. A cascade of glass globe pendants falls through the void, and a curved gallery landing looks down from above. The scale makes sense for a big family, with room for teenagers, grandparents and the friends who stay over.
The ground floor is set up for a household that lives together but sometimes needs its own space. A formal lounge and dining room sits off the entry, framed by columns and lit by a chandelier, for the dinners that run late. The everyday heart of the home is the open-plan family room. Its glossy tiles and wall of black-framed sliders run to the pool, and a built-in fish tank is set into the wall where the kids will spend more time watching it than the television. The kitchen keeps everyone in view. Cream shaker cabinetry and glass-front display cupboards line the walls, and there's an island bench, a gas cooktop and a wall oven. A servery window opens straight onto the alfresco, so platters pass through without anyone walking round. Two bedrooms on the ground floor, a study and a downstairs bathroom suit older parents, guests or a home office you can close the door on. The double lock-up garage completes the level.
Out the back, the summer holidays take care of themselves. The covered alfresco has its own full outdoor kitchen, so the cooking happens outside with everyone else while the pool does the rest. The pool has a stepped blue-tile waterfall and frameless glass fencing, and on hot afternoons it's where the whole family ends up. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround the gallery landing on warm timber floors, and one opens onto the front balcony overlooking the street. The main suite is set apart for parents of a young family. It has two walk-in robes, an adjoining nursery so the baby is only steps away at night, and an ensuite with twin vessel basins, a corner spa bath and a glass shower. A second bathroom serves the rest of the floor. A mix of split-system air conditioning, solar power on the roof and 556m² of floor area complete a home that suits a family planning to stay in Forest Lake for the long run.
