Set on a prestigious, leafy street just a brief stroll from Manuka Village and with multiple parklands and coveted schools nearby, this remarkable home presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle within a world of high-end features and picturesque surrounds.

Channelling strong horizontal lines and generous eaves typical of famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this award-winning luxury home designed by Adam Hobill and built by Creative Building Services provides tranquil garden outlooks through swathes of full-height windows. Five well-proportioned living areas offer fabulous flexibility. Even the formal spaces invite regular use with a cosy open fireplace in the lounge and doors from both the formal dining room and lounge opening out to serene leafy terraces.

The rear of the home and garden are exceptional – being the hub of day-to-day family life and entertainment central, having comfortably accommodated parties of up to 60 and making full use of the 700-bottle temperature-controlled wine room off the home's magnificent chef's kitchen.

An adjacent covered alfresco area is accessed through stackable glass doors and is replete with an outdoor kitchen, rain-sensor Vergola, heating and a sound system. A second separate terrace has stone benches and is the ideal place for guests to congregate and the perfect pre-dinner drink venue.
Located on the lower level and surrounded by beautiful gardens on three sides, the secluded master wing benefits from its own terrace, an enviable custom dressing room and luxury ensuite. There's a second bedroom off the front entry currently in use as a large office, notable for its premium quality custom shelving and bespoke library ladder. This room has easy access to a designer bathroom on the lower level. Upstairs, two king-size bedrooms bookend a bright and uplifting family room with triple aspect views of lush garden greenery and treetops. All rooms are serviced by a stylish designer bathroom and powder room.
