Traditional delight and modern comfort
Every element of this grand 528-square metre family home expresses its French provincial inspiration, unstinting quality and value.

From its sweeping central stairs crowned by an impressive leadlight skylight and three-metre ceiling height to French oak flooring and coffered ceilings, Englehart has designed this home to impress and delight visitors and residents alike.
The home combines the essence of French provincial traditions in its symmetrical façade and slate-tiled mansard roof with the modern day comforts of passive solar design, abundant natural light and extensive double glazing.
It’s a highly functional home that required careful construction of intricate design features including French-inspired dormer windows and traditional finishes.
The ground level includes a spacious guest and bathroom zone that incorporates a separate powder room, vanity area and pool shower room with external access. There’s also a large media room, laundry and generous storage. A vast family living zone spans the rear of the home and includes a Euro-style kitchen adjoining a large concealed butler’s pantry. The living space opens to a loggia overlooking the pool and landscaped terraces that form a resort backdrop for the living rooms. Upstairs the main suite is a generously-proportioned sanctuary of expansive bedroom, dual walk-in wardrobes and luxe marble en suite. Two double bedrooms share a bathroom and separate powder room and two further double bedrooms share an en suite.
