“Carinya” private oasis yet close to everything

“CARINYA” – a private paradise with an urban aesthetic. Architect designed in 1962 by highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning John Rouse, this striking five-bedroom home with multiple living zones offers a private paradise among exquisite gardens on 3/4 of an acre (approx) of flat land. With a lagoon-shaped heated swimming pool, a divine Tuscan-style entertainer’s terrace, an original tennis court and plenty of room for further garaging and shedding, the options are unlimited for this resort at home.

Embracing the principles of passive solar design with soaring timber-lined cathedral ceilings, polished concrete underfoot and multiple sets of sliding glass doors encasing all three living areas, the design and aspect of the residence have been crafted to harness heavenly cross-breezes throughout the warmer months while soaking up the sunshine throughout the winter.

Updated in synergy with the original character and drama of the abode, a new designer kitchen is appointed with stone countertops, dual wall ovens, a gas cooktop, dishwasher and a sophisticated urban aesthetic, while the corridor of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors along the family room entice you out to the glorious all-season gardens, citrus orchard and wisteria-laced poolside entertaining area.

A formal lounge with Jetmaster fireplace and third living area/games room with external access to the northern garden and cubby house is complemented by a wet bar/kitchenette. This wonderfully family-friendly layout also boasts a spacious master with walk-in robe and ensuite, a family bathroom and home office unto itself on the upper level.

Cocooned in serenity down a long tree-lined driveway yet close to the local ‘top shops’ and a short drive to Mt Eliza Village and a choice of excellent local schools (Mount Eliza school catchment zone), among a suite of extras, the property includes a new gas log fireplace, split-systems, vegetable garden, alfresco spa (awaiting a revamp), double carport with wine cellar, storage room and toilet, 6.4kW solar panels and side gate access to park the boat.
