Large families and entertainers will find everything they need in this O’Malley home. Sunny spaces and beautiful architectural details can be found throughout the property.

O’Malley’s quiet eastern enclave provides a peaceful setting for this exquisite residence by Adam Hobill Design. Situated on Akame Circuit, the property is set among other quality homes and  is next to bushland.

A sun-filled study to the right of the entry is set up as a home office and overlooks the reserve across the road. Featuring an en suite bathroom, it is perfect for those working from home but it provides ample space for a fifth bedroom.

Down the hallway framed in striking exposed timber beams is a formal living and dining room to the left and a magnificent outdoor living area to the right. This large, alfresco entertaining space includes a sparkling lap pool and heated in-ground spa set amid travertine paving.

The family room, meals area and kitchen also seamlessly connect to the outdoor spaces. Catering for large gatherings is made easy with a stunning chef’s kitchen complete with a butler’s pantry and stainless steel Miele appliances.

The family room includes an open fireplace surrounded by marble and the adjoining informal meals area opens onto a semicircular feature courtyard.

The master suite is also situated on the lower level and segregated towards the back of the home overlooking the pool. It features a gorgeous en suite bathroom and huge walk-in wardrobe.

The remaining bedrooms and main bathroom can be found upstairs, along with another sitting area.

What I love most about the property is that alongside the luxurious inclusions and expansive floor plan it exudes a warm, welcoming ambience and feels like a comfortable family home.

Discerning buyers with an eye for understated elegance should put this property on their list to inspect.

Owners quote: “We love the light-filled rooms that flow through to the garden, overlooking a natural bush setting. Drenched in northern sun in winter and cool breezes in summer. A home that gives us relaxing spaces with many flexible living options. We enjoy the ease and comfort of living our home provides.” Vicki and David

Room for improvement: The upstairs sitting room could be transformed into a great study space for the kids if required.
