45 Alan Livingston Drive, Cambridge, Waipa

Architecturally designed, homestead inspired!

Exquisite Turner Road Architecture, borne from a collaboration with the current owners, and inspired by a turn of the century American country homestead.
On 1,411sqm (more or less) and positioned off the thoroughfare, on in a private laneway in Cambridge's premium St Kilda, walking distance to the Cafe, and recreation areas, the 285sqm (more or less) high quality home offers a modern and sophisticated take, on yesteryear elegance.
The attention to detail, and high quality workmanship during the build is evident, and the spacious home remains immaculate, and meticulously maintained, with that 'new home' feeling preserved.
The wrap around covered verandah, with skylights above, and hardwood decking underfoot offers a welcoming feel, and upon entry, the tongue and groove, high pitched ceilings will take your breath away, with natural light filling this space through the large windows and glazed bifolds. The extended eaves, together with two large ceiling fans, and dual zoned ducted heating and cooling, keep the home as cool as a cucumber on a summers day, and cosy and warm in the winter months - complemented also by a luxurious gas fireplace to really provide atmosphere as family gather around to eat, relax, watch a movie or enjoy the indoor and outdoor flow that is offered. A high insulation rating, double glazing, and solar energy (including a power genius hot water system) all part of the modern comforts to relish in.
A large chef's kitchen was a must for the current owners, and the banquet island is sociable and functional with glass pendant lighting overhead. In addition to the oodles of bench space, and a walk in pantry with wine fridge, there is a wall oven, convection oven and warming drawer, induction cooktop, dish drawer and an integrated office nook/bar!
The sleeping quarters will not disappoint. In its own wing, a huge master suite offers unsurpassed luxury for the main occupants of the home. Large ensuite with tiled shower, double basin vanity and storage, together with a large walk in wardrobe, and access to the covered decking, make this master a truly enticing feature of living in this special home. Three additional guest bedrooms of generous dimensions, one perfectly positioned to be utilised as a spacious office, or second living area, and it too shares access to the covered entertaining. Guest bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom with tiled and glass shower, and a separate toilet with basin. Storage has been well thought through, from the extra space in the carpeted internal access garaging, to the large laundry with wall to wall built in cupboards, as well as a dedicated mudroom and walk in linen.
Outside, the home has plenty of off street parking, lawn big enough to put in a pool, beautiful gardens and established trees, and opens to the reserve and walking tracks with native plantings and wide open spaces. Even the garden shed is 'in keeping' and is well equipped with garden and landscaping tools that have been included in the chattels list.

A home that must be seen, offering a lifestyle that can easily be imagined!
