The Landscape Designer owners of this 1960s blonde bombshell set out to create a luxurious resort setting for a vivacious entertainer’s lifestyle - and the result is a wildly joyful property. Working with the inherent mid-century cool and leveling up with every contemporary comfort, the light-lavished interiors flaunt vast picture windows framing living artworks of the breathtaking Palm Springs-inspired tropicana gardens.

Screened by a dimensional hedge and secured by an auto gate, the first of many spaces to relax is to the front of the property where circular pavers dot a path to the front door. Upon entry, lofty ceilings and newly polished floors feature through the flowing living/dining zone which enjoys an actual and visual connection with the glorious gardens. 

The gourmet Caesarstone kitchen is the true social heart. Planned to perfection it features Smeg appliances, a huge pantry and hidden appliance station - the rustic timber island enriching the monochrome palette and a sliding servery window to the alfresco bar perfect for aperitivo hour.

A second living space also spills out to the deck, and once here you can sit back and appreciate the perfectly private garden alive with rare botanical plantings – if the mood takes you, enjoy an open-air bath under the stars (hot/cold running water).

At either end of the layout, a large tranquil bedroom (BIRs) gives you the choice of master – a third bedroom is also offered, while an open plan home office with a westerly aspect could easily become the fourth if required. Two effortlessly stylish bathrooms service the home - one with a twin vanity, one with a bath and both with chic fittings and verdant views of the vertical garden. 

A garden studio with laundry provisions is ready to become the teenage space/escape you need, while ducted heating/evaporative cooling/split systems, 7KW solar, a water tank and security cameras plus a chicken coop & EV charger conclude a modern-classic home.

In the warm embrace of friendly neighbours, close to shops, cafes, transport and parks, this eclectic beauty is a rare find indeed.
