Some homes completely blow your idea of what a family property can be right out of the water.

77 Hawkesbury Crescent, a six-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Farrer, does precisely that, with proportions and features that can only be described as palatial.

The lifestyle afforded here cannot be outdone. With a formal front lounge, dining room, family room, home theatre room, and a multipurpose room (currently set up as a gym), there is no end to the spaces to spread out.

To say the home was built for entertaining would be an understatement, as both the indoor and outdoor spaces can accommodate big crowds or intimate gatherings.

“This property is the ultimate entertainer’s home. The amount of indoor space makes that obvious, especially with the built-in bar, perfect for weekend drinks,” Independent Property Group agent Mark Wolens says.

“But outside is a different story altogether. It’s nothing short of a wellness retreat at home.”

Every inch of the 2038 sqm block size has been used, with an outdoor space featuring an alfresco dining area with a courtyard and firepit, a huge solar-heated pool, a swim-spa with a projector screen, a four-person infrared sauna and an enclosed half basketball/pickleball court.

After a game of basketball or a long swim in the pool, the owner can retire to their own retreat, featuring dual walk-in robes, plantation shutters and a private ensuite bathroom.

At the other end of the home, there is another private suite, with a walk-in robe and an ensuite, perfect for guests or a teenager who wants their own space.

This guest suite is also conveniently located right next to the dedicated office, cleverly tucked away from the living spaces, allowing a professional working from home to enjoy some peace and quiet.

One of the home’s greatest strengths is its versatility.

One member of the family can work out in the rumpus gym, another can study in the home office, someone can swim laps in the pool, another can shoot three pointers on the basketball court, and another member of the family can watch a movie in the home theatre, all without stepping on each other’s toes.

“There’s enough space and rooms across 374 sqm of internal living that a large family can do whatever they like and, of course, rooms can be swapped around as needs change,” Mark says.

Even with all this, there is still room for an all-in-one butler’s pantry and laundry.

The property also benefits from a location that excels in just about every respect.

“Hawkesbury Crescent is a blue ribbon address. The street is well known and the suburb is ideal for raising kids, with plenty of renowned schools like Farrer Public,” Mark says.

The property is also conveniently located near Farrer shops, which offer a variety of cafes, restaurants, and a local grocer.

“The lifestyle offered here is really special. It’s a very convenient place to live, and there are numerous green spaces nearby, including the nearby playground and the oval. The block also backs onto the Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve,” Mark says.

There is almost too much to cover with this home. Some of the features include a 37-panel solar system, digital keyless entry, a triple garage with a workshop, a storage shed, a nine-camera security system, a circular driveway, built-in speakers in the rumpus room and an electric fireplace.

This picture-perfect property does everything a home can do and more, and it will mean a lot to a family that wants nothing but the best.
