Situated in one of the most desirable streets in Como, this north-facing, double storey abode is the epitome of modern living.

With five bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is ample scope and space to craft your ideal home. Upon entry you find two big bedrooms, a bathroom and a large laundry with generous storage space, with the two split-system air-conditioners keep the home at a comfortable temperature year round. Climbing the smooth cyprus pine staircase, the top storey boasts three more bedrooms, all including built-in wardrobes, ducted air conditioning and another sleek bathroom with separate shower and bath. Large windows in each room provide a bright atmosphere and a picturesque view of the light-drenched trees and hedges that line the street.

Moving back downstairs through the contemporary space, the hallway opens into a well-sized, sunlit living room. This leads into an impressively large kitchen with a fresh, open-plan design that flows into the dining area. The bright space features clean, modern details, bottle-gas stove, electric oven and large glass doors that allow natural light to saturate the room. Stepping out onto the balcony area, where there is room for a relaxed al fresco space, stairs lead down to the salt-water chlorinated pool area, with a large pool room perfect for extra storage or even a personal gym and a flower-bordered patio area to the side.

Behind the pool room, there is an undercover washing line and a generous sprawl of grass, where a spring-free trampoline and sturdy wooden cubbyhouse are perched. Manicured lawns, pruned shrubs and a lemon tree add a leafy privacy screen around the yard, providing security and shade. A solar panel installed on the roof of the shed dramatically decreases energy bills and is a great investment towards self-sufficient living. Contemporary with a classic twist, this home offers immaculate design, substantial space and huge potential.
