Overview

The phone enquiry code for this property is 2208. This stylish and spacious home, one of the last built in the highly desirable Mulbarton Estate, is still under builder’s warranty. It occupies 442 sqm of a 1,164 sqm hilltop block, with a standard width at the front that widens to accommodate a generous lawn at the rear. The orientation is perfect, with living and outdoor entertaining areas facing north and east.

The Mulbarton estate is known for its tree-lined streets, particularly beautiful in autumn, featuring a variety of homes with landscaped gardens that integrate historic trees. The kerbs are spoon drained for easier parking, and all electric cabling is underground.

The double garage has a remote-operated panel door to the street and a roller door to the backyard. It houses a Tesla battery fed by solar roof panels, resulting in minimal electricity bills. The property is equipped with four external cameras connected to an alarm and a video security recorder, which can be linked to a remote security service or mobile phone. NBN is now fibre-cabled into the house, and mains gas is connected for hot water (solar boosted), the outside BBQ, kitchen cooking range, and living room fireplace.

Upon entering through a solid timber door with frosted glass panels, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall. To the left is the large master bedroom, featuring chrome and glass pendants on either side of the bed head, a fitted desk with a full-height mirror ideal for makeup application, a walk-in robe, and an oversized ensuite with a double-width glass-screened shower, twin vanity basins, and a separate W.C.

The cinema is fully equipped with a projector, amplifier, five-speaker Dolby surround sound, electrically operated leather recliner seating, and a fibre-lit ceiling. The audio-visual equipment is connected directly to fibre broadband, allowing you to cast your favorite movies or sports programs onto the giant screen.

The entrance hall leads to a formal living room featuring a glass-fronted fireplace and an impressive chandelier, with generous storage cupboards lining the passage.

The family and dining areas incorporate the kitchen, which boasts an immense stone-topped island, Hamptons-style joinery, indirect lighting beneath overhead cupboards, and matching stone bench tops with glazed ceramic tile splashbacks. These extend into the adjacent butler’s pantry, which includes three stainless steel sinks, wide drawers, generous cupboards, open shelving, a built-in microwave, double drawer-style dishwashers, a 90cm electric oven, and a five-burner gas cooktop. All appliances are stainless steel finish, and a water connection is installed for the refrigerator.

From the family and dining areas, sliding glass doors provide a 4m uninterrupted clear opening onto the covered deck, which features a mains-connected gas BBQ and a sink, perfect for summer gatherings. Copper maple trees and low planting frame an elevated outlook onto the lawn and distant trees, with automatic watering systems for the gardens.

The recreation room, also opening off the dining area, faces north and east and has matching sliding glass doors for additional access onto the covered deck. A powder room with a W.C. and vanity basin is conveniently located near all entertainment areas, and a separate bathroom is adjacent, featuring a freestanding bath, vanity basin, and glass-partitioned shower. Three additional bedrooms and a large study are located along a passage, all fitted with built-in robes. A laundry with a stainless steel sink is situated at the end of the passage, with a sliding glass door providing natural light into the passage and an outside clothesline nearby, adjacent to the garden shed.

The garage-sized garden shed on the west side of the back garden has a concrete floor and paving on two sides leading to a pedestrian door and the roller door, with steel shelving on one long internal wall. The roller door opens onto a generous rectangular lawn.

Walls of the family room, master bedroom, and recreation room are pre-wired for TV with fittings to hold flat-screen TVs. The rear of the house has a WiFi extender, cabled back to the switchboard.

Although gas heating and refrigerated air conditioning are ducted throughout, blade-style ceiling fans are also fitted in the family/dining areas, all bedrooms, study, and the covered deck. Impressive lighting fixtures are installed adjacent to the front door and in the family and dining area, living room, and master bedroom, with recessed downlights elsewhere, all designed for low energy consumption. Adjustable plantation shutters in the bathroom, ensuite, bedrooms, recreation, and family rooms are complemented by decorative blinds in the living room and curtains in the study and cinema. The highest quality plush wool carpets are installed in the bedrooms, living room, and cinema, while low-maintenance timber-look floors are used elsewhere, with large format ceramic tiles in wet areas. Full-height solid timber doors and tasteful hardware add distinction.

This stylish, near-new home features high-spec fixtures and fittings, with every amenity. Located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, it is just a 12-minute walk northeast to shops and primary school, and a little more to medical services, swimming pool, and sports fields. The Gisborne Golf Club, with a new clubhouse currently under construction, is also a short walk southwest.
