Timeless by design. Bold by execution.

Space to breathe, places to retreat and a presence that stays with you. Designed by Reece Warnock, this striking Heathfield home brings together confident architecture, calming interiors and a layout that makes everyday living feel effortless.

Positioned on a flat 890sqm corner section, the approximately 260sqm home is often admired by passers-by. Its strong lines and contrasting finishes make an immediate impression, while established planting and fully fenced grounds create a welcoming setting for family life.

A beautiful formal entrance introduces the home's generous proportions. Exposed aggregate flooring is a defining feature, its beautiful texture bringing depth and continuity to the living spaces. Catching the sunlight throughout the day, it provides a lovely contrast to the crisp walls and dark joinery.

Two distinct living zones sit either side of the kitchen and dining area, allowing everyone to come together while offering space to enjoy a quieter moment. High ceilings, expansive glazing and sculptural light fittings give these rooms their character, with the northwest-facing position drawing sunshine deep into the interiors.

The beautifully appointed kitchen combines generous bench space, a large island and a substantial butler's pantry. Positioned between the two living wings, it keeps cooking, conversation and dining easily connected. Wide sliding doors open to paved courtyards and lawn, extending daily life outdoors for relaxed lunches, evening drinks or afternoons in the garden.

In the first lounge, an inbuilt wood burner creates a welcoming place to settle in through the cooler months. One floor-mounted heat pump and two ceiling-mounted heat pumps in the hallway provide additional comfort, while brand-new carpet brings softness to the bedroom spaces. Gas hot water and an internal vacuum system add everyday convenience.

All four bedrooms sit off a central hallway. The master is a restful retreat, complete with a walk-through robe, luxurious ensuite and direct outdoor access. The main bathroom continues that sense of escape, with floor-to-ceiling glazing looking into the palm garden. A separate toilet offers everyday practicality.

Large garaging complements the generous accommodation, while the level grounds offer room for children to play and space to enjoy the established garden.

With its admired corner position in popular Heathfield, this is a home where thoughtful design is felt in the way the spaces work, the light moves and the garden connects. A dream to reside in, and a home that will be hard to forget.

Our vendor is excited for her next chapter and looks forward to passing her beautiful property to a lucky new owner, hoping it will enrich their life as much as it has hers.

For sale by auction, unless sold prior.

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
