Home of the week: Luxurious family living in Chapman

No expense has been spared at this Chapman residence backing Cooleman Ridge.

If first impressions count then this architect-designed family home at Lincoln Close is set to wow prospective buyers from the driveway, a grand facade welcoming residents and visitors to this two-level, five-bedroom house.

The residence sits on a sprawling 1849-square-metre block encompassing an in-ground pool and a full-size tennis court.

Number 23’s main floor is actually on the upper level thanks to a staggered design that hugs the sloping, elevated block.

Multiple shared spaces include a lounge room and an open-plan kitchen, meals area and family area.

The spacious kitchen features a mix of interesting materials, including timber details, plenty of bench and storage space, and a large island bench and breakfast bar.

These living areas flow onto two covered balconies facing the street with views across the region and beyond, as well as an outdoor entertaining area overlooking the backyard and neighbouring reserve.

The first floor also encompasses a study with a built-in wardrobe and a master suite, cleverly segregated from the other bedrooms.

The main bedroom connects to a walk-in wardrobe, plus an en suite with a built-in bath, shower and vanity. It also flows onto one of the balconies.

Downstairs, the remaining bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are serviced by a main bathroom, also with a built-in bath and shower.

A rumpus room nearby is the perfect teen retreat or children’s play area.

The ground floor also houses the laundry, a powder room, extra storage space and a large garage.

Lush, landscaped yards frame the spacious property, with steps leading up to the elevated tennis court at the rear.

Selling agent Shane Killalea, of Peter Blackshaw Real Estate, says the property has already attracted about 65 groups through its doors, including many families.

“Houses like this don’t come up all that often, particularly in this location,” he says.

We love: Where do we begin? This home epitomises luxurious family living.
