That’s how local Walker & Co Realty agent Barry Litten describes 4 Cardigan St, which has just come on the market.
Hiding behind an understated facade, the 374sqm four-bedroom home with four ensuite bathrooms has oodles of ‘wow’ factor over two levels, including a state-of-the-art home theatre, expansive designer kitchen and full-width outdoor deck with a fireplace under a retractable pergola, fully-heated lap pool and separate spa.
Completed not long ago for the director of a high-end building company, the home exudes "refined luxury", Litten says.
The open-plan living area, for example, includes an atrium bookcase spanning two floors, cabinetry finished in floor-to-ceiling black oak with brass detailing and black travertine stone tile flooring.
"Having seen a large number of properties over the years, 4 Cardigan St displays outstanding attention to detail and craftsmanship rarely seen," Litten says.
"Secondly, some very clever architectural design work has produced a free-flowing, spacious home in an area where you don’t normally expect it, i.e. a four-car garage" — currently used for a speedboat, trailer and two trucks.
"I mean, they just haven’t skimped at all."
The house is for sale by deadline sale closing March 5.
