The result is a bright, refined and highly functional residence of outstanding quality, finished with bespoke craftsmanship, curated designer lighting and premium materials throughout.
Approached through gated and maturely landscaped grounds, the home immediately impresses upon arrival. The entrance hall sets the tone with clay-finished walls, LED feature lighting, parquet white oak chevron flooring and rift and quarter-sawn oak detailing, all contributing to the home's warm contemporary character.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to support modern family living, with a series of beautifully proportioned reception spaces offering both openness and privacy where required. At the heart of the home lies the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed to maximise natural light and capture the panoramic racecourse and mountain views. Expansive glazing and French doors create a seamless connection to the landscaped gardens and outdoor entertaining spaces.
The bespoke kitchen is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring quartz worktops, extensive custom inlay cabinetry, a substantial 10-foot island unit, a 42-inch Falcon range cooker, Liebherr refrigerator and integrated premium appliances, complemented by carefully selected Visual Comfort lighting.

GARDENS
Externally, the property is set on approximately 0.13 Hectares (0.32 Acres) of professionally landscaped grounds, offering a rare sense of privacy, space, and seclusion in a highly sought-after setting.

The detached 46 sq.m. garage is finished to a high standard and includes EV charging, solar panels, WiFi connectivity, and integrated security systems throughout.
