This 733m2 single storey home is set on a semi – rural property in the leafy suburb of Dural.

Upon arrival your welcomed through the cantilevered Porte Cochere and into the grand entry foyer, where your eye is led through to the expansive 10m x 5m pool complete with infinity edge at the centre of the home. It was very important that our clients were able to wind down & relax once they arrived home, therefore the home was carefully designed to make the most of the views of the pool & surrounding bushland as the home seamlessly wraps around the lush hinterland.

The split-level design with high ceilings containing highlight windows in the kitchen / living area were designed to take advantage of the treetops. Even the courtyard attached to the children’s rumpus was designed to evoke a calming feel.

The living areas were designed to be separate from the sleeping areas, helping to keep the noise to a minimum, allowing the homeowners to again enjoy the tranquillity.

A contrast of natural materials & a modest neutral colour palette adds to the serene nature of the home, Crakenback natural stone and blackbutt timber work together to complement these surroundings.

The home has an air of luxury including 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a stunning Master wing complete with luxurious ensuite, freestanding custom stone bath and walk-in robe that accommodates 250 pairs of shoes. A library & functioning office, guest coffee station, a theatre, rumpus & mudroom with the children in mind a tennis court, wine cellar & huge 6 car garage.

The kitchen adorns a wall of slick Miele appliances including – Pyrolitic oven, induction cooktop, steam combi oven, speed oven, warmer, coffee machine & integrated fridge that make quite an impression & let’s not forget about the butler’s pantry and formal dining area for formal occasions.

Modern comforts such as performance glass, heated towel rails, under floor heating, Cbus home automation, solar hot water, heated spa & pool, photovoltaic with Tesla battery, Sonos sound system, cctv cameras, home cinema, ducted fireplace, motorised blinds & ducted Vacuum complete this home.

This property did come with some technical issues as it was identified as being Bushfire Prone Land and the only available building footprint on the site was classified as being within the Flame Zone.  A proactive and collaborative approach between the builder, the bushfire consultant, the arborist, and the ecologist resulted a solution which saw the bushfire rating for the property be downgraded to BAL 40 and in the process saving the client hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The existing bushland on the site was managed in a way not only to protect the natural flora but also to meet the requirements for an Asset Protection Zone thereby allowing the downgrade in bushfire construction requirements.

Dural Oasis is a peaceful family home that draws in aspects of its natural surrounds paired with high quality finishes which together create luxurious understated living.
