Cleverly planned to accommodate the owners love of Japanese style gardens, this home is expertly fitted into a complex site. The owners live mainly in the northern pavilion, where living areas and the main bedroom open out to the sun soaked deck and pool. Guests and adult children are accommodated in the southern pavilion with bedrooms opening out to the zen courtyard gardens. Glazed sliding doors provide a stunning pop of colour in the main living area and allow the TV room to be closed off. The generous double garage includes a hobby and workshop space with ample natural light. A third separate garage and carport provide ample parking, strategically spread out to avoid overwhelming the entry aspect.
