53 and 55 Poplar Lane, Matangi

Everything is on a grand scale at stately and much-admired Pin Oaks in coveted Poplar Lane. A private, tree-lined driveway leads to the architect-designed split stone Hampton's style home on approximately 5,795 sq m (more or less) of parkland backdropped by a lush gully. An imposing entrance, composing a beautiful dual staircase, a gallery landing, and statement chandelier set in a stunning ceiling rosette, provides a fabulous sense of arrival. The refreshed interior reveals a wondrous sense of space. Social and private areas are perfectly balanced, and fittings are top-notch. A bespoke Robin Caudwell kitchen and laundry up the ante, and the games room with a snooker table is a drawcard for family fun and entertaining. The large family room, with a log burner and access to alfresco niches and outdoor entertaining, is anchored by an entertainer's kitchen featuring Corian counters and Gaggenau and Miele appliances. Corian stone is carried through into the family-sized laundry. An open fire is the focal point of the spacious, light-filled formal living room. A modern shower room is designed for internal and external entry. A full master suite, three well-appointed bedrooms, and a modern bathroom occupy the first floor. Two Juliette balconies offer scenic outlooks. Entertaining is centred on the outdoor dining area, floodlit tennis court plus the pool and spa complex. This complex contains the summerhouse where the spa is situated and the pool, recently fibre glassed and renovated by Pro Pools. A heat pump heats the pool water. Roof-top solar panels are mounted on both sheds. The adjoining 5,010 sq m (more or less) section is also for sale. The vendors are leaving after 24 treasured years raising their family at this cherished property, which is enviably appointed and located, and in zone for sought-after schools.
