This "contemporary style home of the highest quality takes full advantage of the brilliant north aspect and enjoys incredible views from an elevated position," says agent Barry McEntee.

"The thoughtful design fully utilises the natural slope of the land to both capture the view and provide the majority of the living space on one level with a private, flat yard which is easy to maintain."

The flexible floorplan offers a minimum of four bedrooms with scope for a fully self-contained fifth bedroom, which could be ideal for in-law accommodation on the ground floor. Alternatively, the layout allows for multiple living areas to accommodate growing families who want their own space.

"The contemporary design includes cathedral ceilings with the main living room flowing through to a fantastic balcony overlooking Marsden Weir and beyond." Plus, a large decked entertaining area close to the kitchen "is a brilliant outdoor living space which is protected from the west."

A solar passive design incorporates insulating materials including double glazed windows. "Fully-ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning delivers practical climate control whilst the gas fireplace will be well received come winter." And, "this home has an abundance of natural light and a view from every window."

The oversized double garage under the house includes workshop and storage space and is complemented by a second garage which provides good access to the main level and internal access to the home.

"It must be inspected to be fully appreciated and the highly sought-after location is very quiet, has no through traffic and is a stone's throw from the Wollondilly walking track."
