Early mornings were spent water skiing, on beautiful glassy water right out front.

Not down low on the flat, they never had to worry about flooding, and with plenty of elevation, they had to die for views, that could never be built out, with extreme privacy, thanks to the elevation too.

Access via a private staircase down to parklike foreshore waterfront reserve, and a great walking and bike track, is perfect for anyone with kids or grandkids, who have better things to do than mow a big backyard!

In fact the substantial home consumes most of the block, so a traditional backyard is not a part of the equation, instead, artificial grass, a sun soaked private pool area, and lots of driveway take up whatever land is left, perfect for those who want a lifestyle, have a few cars and toys, who don't want yard work!

Drive in at street level, but expect multi level living, deliberately designed to take advantage of the views from every possible vantage point.

The entry level contains 2 offices or small bedrooms, with a full guest wing, complete with its own big bathroom and separate toilet, perfect for your adult child who is still at home, or elderly parents.

From here step down to the main living level, with a renovated kitchen opening out to the pool, casual living, outdoor living and colossal views. Expect a huge lounge and dining area blessed with big Lake views and a view back to the pool area.

Complete with a powder room, and gorgeous covered outdoor entertaining, the privacy is amazing and the views are breath taking.

When its time to retire, after a hard day of kicking back and relaxing to a backdrop of gob stopping views, take the stairs to your master suite, complete with Lake views, soaring ceilings, ensuite and walk in robe.

While the kids take their own set of stairs up to a phenomenal bedrooms and bathroom wings, both bedrooms featuring Lake view juliet balconies and so much space, they blow your mind!

Soaring ceilings, and stunning angles feature throughout the upper level bedrooms and master suite, adding so much character!

100% not a one level boring project home, or a new house, if you don't like separate living and sleeping zones, or views from almost every room, thanks to the multi level design, we suggest you don't waste your time coming out, and if a pool is no go for you, then you shouldn't come.

If you are willing to fill in, or deck over the pool, or install a lift between the living and master suite, then we are happy to chat, but we don't want to waste buyers' or our owners' time on inspections that go nowhere because people come who are anti a pool and stairs, because we obviously have both, and they are part of what makes this home very, very special!

We won't be doing any open houses here, inspections are strictly by appointment, and only qualified buyers will be shown through sorry.

So please only read on if you would like to know more ...
