Art Deco Classic Turned Entertainer’s Dream Sensationally placed by Woodlands Park’s pristine expanses, this icon of the local landscape pairs cutting-edge comforts with rich Art Deco charm to deliver family luxury of the highest calibre. Enriched by artisan landscaping from industry leaders Jack Merlo and Vogue Grange, a picture-perfect façade and signature horseshoe driveway prelude an interior showcasing the utmost care for quality and liveability. With all the space a family could ever ask for, front sitting and dining areas are complemented by a substantial back lounge, while granite benches, a butler’s pantry, and top-of-the-range ILVE appliances all enhance a first-class kitchen. In a league of its own as an entertainer, a vast alfresco setting features a gas-plumbed barbecue kitchen with bar fridges, a lengthy pergola for year-round usability, and a 3.1m x 1.4m solid-marble table for the extended family to gather around.

Served by a standalone studio doubling as a summer cabana, a wonderfully private pool/spa retreat lifts the abode’s appeal beyond anything else of its kind, brilliant for Sundays watching the football on the waterproof TV, lounging in northern sun, and kids to invite their friends around, drop their schoolbags, and burn off excess energy before dinner.
