“Grant and Sharlene often talk about how much they love spending time outside with their kids,” he said.

“On a sunny day, they lay down a picnic rug, relax in the back yard, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

“It’s that kind of space — secluded, full of light, and perfect for family time.”

Spacious and light-filled children’s bedrooms.

The master ensuite features striking Madagascar Laurian blue granite.

From the fully equipped home gym to the resort-style outdoor spaces, the home has been designed to promote a sense of health and balance.

The master ensuite features Madagascar Laurian blue granite, which is said to be a source of positive energy.

A chef’s dream, the designer kitchen boasts premium appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a seamless flow to the home’s open-plan living areas.

The bright, open-plan living area features soaring ceilings and abundant natural light.

The Marshall White Bayside director said security has also been a priority for the Hacketts, with a state-of-the-art facial recognition system offering top-tier protection.

“This home has one of the most advanced systems I’ve seen - safety and privacy is all there for the new oner,” Mr Butterss said.

“I’ve had several enquiries from a breadth of buyers already from local families, overseas buyers and time-poor business professionals looking for a low maintenance home who love that everything is done to the highest standard.
