Hidden below the world, elevated in every other way

Ever walked into a home and thought "Finally - someone got it right!"? Set below the streetline, this imposing family home turns its back on the noise of the world and stretches out toward nature instead - a property so transportive and soul-soothing that its 10-minute CBD commute seems unfathomable the moment the entry gates slide shut behind you. Built at the turn of the millennium, it's a residence that borrows its bones from classic design - lofty proportions, formal zones, and symmetry where it counts - but lives firmly in the now. Two generous levels give a growing family the space to sprawl, separate, reconnect and entertain in whatever rhythm life demands, drawing you to the sounds and sights of wildlife at its rear. With rugged Caesarstone benchtops, Ocean Blue splashbacks, ambient strip lighting, butler's pantry, gas cooktop, steamer, plate warmer and sous vide oven, the updated kitchen is the encore worth waiting for. The ensuited main suite claims pride of place at the front of the home, comfortably apart yet close enough to command the day-to-day. Spa bath and walk-in robe included. Upstairs, a second living area and a collection of bedrooms form a self-contained level of their own - ideal for the next generation, long-term guests, or just the luxury of options. But perhaps the most surprising moments here are outside - or rather, the spaces that blur the definition. The two ground-floor pavilions stretch the living zones into the foothills air, transforming with a zip of café blinds into climate-proof retreats. Above, a terrace captures long views, reminding you just how elevated this pocket really is - both literally and figuratively. Behind the scenes, the details hum: a double garage, gated entry, ducted air, security alarm and copious storage. And with St Peter's Girls' School, Burnside Village, hiking trails, and the city all within arm's reach, its location puts you at the centre of everything - while feeling like you've escaped it completely. - Elevated and private position with beautiful views to the rear - Renovated open-plan lower level with seamless dining/living flow (approx. 5 years ago) - Designer kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops, Ocean Blue splashback, gas cooktop, steamer, plate warmer, sous vide oven and butler's pantry - Expansive upstairs retreat with multiple bedrooms, bathroom and a central living area - Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning with upgraded airflow upstairs - Double garage with internal access, plus off-street parking for up to five cars - Zoned for Burnside Primary and Norwood International Schools - Steel-frame construction for added structural integrity - Massive underground water tank beneath rear patio - Water pump system connected to house supply and full irrigation - Two large alfresco entertaining pavilions with café blinds - Upper-level terrace with elevated outlooks - Western wall-mounted electricity and hot water systems - Roof access via garage and upstairs bathroom - Peaceful, secure setting that feels worlds away - yet just 10 minutes to the CBD All information or material provided has been obtained from third party sources and, as such, we cannot guarantee that the information or material is accurate.
