Youll adore the sunken lounge, adorned by an original Swarovski crystal chandelier which is draped from the hand-pressed horsehair ceiling, as well as the vibrant living room, which is packed with personality. The bold, banana-leaf wallpaper ensures the room oozes warmth and style, while in the formal dining room, showcased by its striking light fittings, ornate domed ceiling and gold, geometric wallpaper, youll look forward to hosting grand gatherings, with the temperature-controlled wine cellar within easy reach.

The gourmet kitchen also echoes the distinct style of the home. With its showpiece, supersized marble island bench, pristine herringbone floors and custom range hood, its also complemented by Miele appliances and butlers pantry. Highlighted by crisp white panelled walls and a coffered ceiling embellished with rich timber beams, this is where the whole family will want to congregate and linger a while in conversation.

Families are also well catered for with the bedrooms. All are ensuited and enjoy views of the idyllic gardens, lawns and natural bushlands, which encase the home.
