Striking, luxurious home offers comfort and style
This much admired residence, with its striking angular silhouette tucked into the native landscape, is a true showpiece in contemporary construction. Architect designed, this builder’s own home is a testament of superior craftsmanship, attention to detail, comfort and style. Energy efficiency is also a focus, without compromising on design and practicality. Occupying a prominent position on the south side of Warragul, the property is perfectly poised to capture the splendid northerly panorama across the township to the ranges beyond. The façade has an industrial feel with a composite of steel and stone, countered with the organic elements of timber. These elements are carried through to the interior where superb polished concrete flooring, impressive stone feature walls and warm timbers blend harmoniously. Multi dimensional ceilings, square set cornices, clerestory windows and a large expanse of glass across the north face create a wonderful feeling of space. Constructed over two levels to complement the slope of the allotment, the floorplan comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, powder room, multiple living areas including communal and private spaces, well equipped kitchen and a large utilities room.
There is also a huge four car garage URL with internal access and built-in storage. North facing outdoor entertaining decks on both levels further enhance the living areas and create a connection to the surroundings. A timber walkway guides the visitor into the interior of the home. The impressive stone walled entry leads directly into the central living area, orientated to the north to take advantage of the natural light, winter sun and superb views. Centre stage is the stone fireplace featuring a dual sided gas log fire and serving as a partition between the living and dining areas. Three sets of Bifold doors create a seamless transition between the interior and outdoor entertaining decks. Pivotal to the layout is the kitchen, a beautifully styled work space with Caesarstone counter tops, stainless steel splashback and crafted cabinetry including multiple drawers and a step-in pantry. High end appliances comprise a Smeg induction cooktop, 900mm oven and a Bosch dishwasher. Nearby is a second sitting room, a snug and private space away from the main living areas. Positioned in the eastern wing is the main bedroom suite featuring a generous walk-in robe/dressing room and an ensuite. The western wing includes three of the secondary bedrooms, powder room and the family bathroom.
A striking timber staircase winds its way from the central living area down to the ground floor. Bedroom five/study, a rumpus or theatre room, wine cellar, utilities room, third bathroom, internal access to the garage and a partially covered, decked alfresco are included here. All of the secondary bedrooms and utilities room have built-in storage. The bathrooms are thoughtfully planned and elegantly styled with superior fixtures and fittings. Hydronic floor heating on the first floor, split system air conditioning in the central living area, double glazed windows, a heat transfer system between the ground and first level, LED lighting and custom fitted window coverings are further features. Professionally landscaped gardens, with an emphasis on low maintenance and indigenous species, complete this exceptional property. Number 8 Duncan Close Warragul exemplifies sophisticated modern styling, luxury, comfort and sustainability.
