An enchanting botanically inspired garden, originally shaped by renowned landscape designer Edna Walling, is the irresistible opening act for this exquisite and highly sought after Golf Links Estate home. The elongated entrance invites you to engage your senses as you immerse yourself into the half acre sanctuary of uninterrupted beauty. Golden elms and a trickling water pond mingle with flushes of heirloom roses, magnolia trees and mature camelias in a garden planned for all-seasons. A Castlemaine stone stacked chimney cuts through the lush foliage to avert your eyes to a spectacular dual level home. Merging respect for its origins, the sophisticated residence embraces the elegance of polished hardwood floorboards, double sash windows and ornate cornices accentuated by french styled floating pendant lights. The foyer escorts you through to a fireside formal lounge and adjoining sunroom with banquette drenched in sunlight overlooking the rose garden and enormous cherry blossom tree. Contrasted with a versatile living/library room that would easily convert to a 4th/guest bedroom, set directly opposite a modern bathroom with Italian porcelain tiles and brushed nickel tapware. Further gracing the ground floor is an engaging family room with wall to wall integrated cabinetry. Dining is surrounded by glazing and breathtaking garden vistas with a direct connection to a kitchen that the most discerning chef would approve of. Granite benchtops and a Bosch dishwasher culminate in a rare Paul Bocuse double oven and gas cooktop with separate wok burner. Entertaining guests is extraordinary effortless with the vast spaces inside and out. Comprising a separate decked pergola, numerous secluded pockets to reflect in nature, accompanied by up to 30 species of birds. The home is truly matched to those who cherish plants or who simply feel joy being surrounded by garden.
