Gleneagles is a peaceful pocket of homes on Kambah’s western fringe and a popular location among buyers, largely thanks to its location next to a golf course and nature reserve.
The serenity emanates from this spacious two-level house on Mount Vernon Drive. The four-bedroom home sits on more than 1200 square metres of land, surrounded by lush gardens and has an in-ground pool.
Inside, there’s nearly 500 square metres of internal space, including the north-facing, open-plan kitchen, dining and family area on the main, upper floor.
The kitchen comes with plenty of storage and Caesarstone bench space, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cupboards and drawers, Italian floor tiles and under-floor heating.
Large windows and glass doors in these living spaces – including a separate lounge with a gas fireplace next door – overlook a large, covered timber deck and capture views of the Murrumbidgee Golf Course and hills beyond the property.
Touches of timber throughout the house, from the kitchen cabinetry to the entry’s high beams, add character to this builder’s own home.
The large master suite features its own walk-in wardrobe and a sumptuous en suite complete with a free-standing bath, large seamless glass shower, Spanish marble tiles, under-tile heating, double vanity and hidden toilet.
Three more bedrooms with built-in robes are located at the opposite side of the house. One comes with its own en suite, while the others share a main bathroom featuring a built-in spa bath, shower and separate toilet.
A whole other level of entertaining space exists downstairs, with a set of steps leading to a large billiard room with timber walls and ceiling, plus an indoor spa and sauna next door.
There’s also a large living area or guest room, serviced by a separate bathroom and a kitchenette.
The lower level opens to a self-cleaning, solar-heated swimming pool surrounded by Italian tiles.
A concreted storage area under the house with a wine cellar, built-in workbench and sink; a two-car garage; 16,000-litre water tank; an irrigation system; plenty of extra storage and solar hot water are among a long list of features.
Selling agent Rob Cappuccio, of Peter Blackshaw Real Estate, says young professionals and families looking for a larger property in a country-like setting are among the groups interested in the home.
“There’s been really, really strong interest – probably the strongest I’ve had in this area,” he says.
