Bangalee
With Rosalie Iannelli
Part sea change, part tree change – for whatever reason, the home at 10 Sandstone Place, Bangalee, is the change you need.
This stunning five-bedroom abode is a true escape and one from which you don’t need to emerge too often – aside from the odd grocery run.
Everything you could want or need (and then some), resides on this 4000-square-metre block.
Surrounded by bushland, the home is peacefully secluded and will keep you spellbound by the natural tranquillity of the coastal landscape.
Starting with the hero of the home, the outdoor living area will attract your attention from the get-go. The crystal-blue swimming pool is merely the cherry on top of an indulgent chocolate cake that is the outdoor living and kitchen area.
It’s not just any old outdoor kitchen or barbecue-and-sink, either. This deluxe version comes with a full suite of appliances including a gas cooktop, oven and barbecue.
Pledging lavish entertaining possibilities, the covered space is complemented by an outdoor open fireplace. If you wish to move under the stars, a nearby firepit awaits to provide further warmth and ambience.
Inside, the multiple living spaces extend well into the home and include an activity room and a family room – both of which have bifold doors that open to the backyard – plus a home theatre, a home office and a separate study so working from home and studying for exams can cohabit peacefully.
The main bedroom is a private sanctuary for parents and offers a palatial en suite.

Why choose between a new build and an established suburb when you can have both?
This single-level townhouse is in a complex of just three homes in a quiet cul-de-sac.
On the top of the list of features to love is the indoor-outdoor connection. Whip up a meal for yourself in the kitchen – complete with breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and Smeg appliances – and enjoy it in the open-plan living space, or in the covered entertaining area.
High ceilings and engineered timber floors accentuate the spaciousness, while large widows welcome in light and provide views beyond the landscaped gardens to Mount Ainslie.
Price guide: $1.199 million+
