Enveloped in the tranquillity of richly layered gardens, few homes capture the spirit of Mt Eliza’s Woodlands area quite so completely as this three-quarter acre lifestyle estate offering timeless elegance, natural beauty and all the luxury and recreational appeal of a country club.

Surrounded by sculpted showpiece gardens that provide a picture-perfect outlook from every room, this is private sanctuary defined by its lifestyle offerings where tennis games drift into sunset, poolside gatherings become family traditions and the soundtrack is often little more than birdsong.

 Available to the market for only the second time, the home is beautifully orientated to capture northern light through expansive living and dining areas including a sunken lounge with cathedral ceilings and a crackling open fire, an elegant formal dining area for special occasions and an open plan living and dining area with a wood heater and large wine fridge.

The kitchen takes pride of place in the social heart of the home including vast granite bench-tops, premium Miele appliances and an effortless connection to an extensive alfresco terrace beside the pool, with a built-in BBQ, a bar bench and lovely covered and open-air settings for long summer lunches

Steps lead out to a free-form inground swimming pool and spa surrounded in travertine surround, while a full-size mod-grass tennis court beyond is also lined for pickleball.

 Also offering a touch of luxury, the main bedroom suite includes a fully fitted dressing room and ensuite with a corner spa, walk-in shower with a glass wall that overlooks a walled courtyard garden. Two other bedrooms enjoy privacy in their own wing with a stylish family bathroom in this highly functional floorplan, while a home office can easily serve as a fourth bedroom if needed.

 Minutes from Mt Eliza Village, Mt Eliza North Primary School, St Thomas More and Peninsula Grammar, and a choice of nearby beaches, the home also features extensive built-in cabinetry, easy bathroom access for the pool and alfresco area, ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, watering system and a double carport with clearance for a caravan or boat.
