A cutting-edge residence is surprising house-hunters in Sydney’s northwest, looking to buy in an established part of leafy West Pennant Hills.
The architect designed four bedroom luxury home at 3a Merelynne Ave, which has only just been completed, is set on a 712 sqm block positioned at the end of a private driveway.
Its striking facade opens up to reveal a contemporary home catering for today’s living with several bonus inclusions.

There is the separate sunken media room that closes off creating a home cinema experience; a stunning self-cleaning lap pool and an alfresco terrace with automated retractable awnings.
Golfers will be able to work on their handicap in the incredibly private backyard which also features a mini putting/chipping area.
Agent Jenny Carr from Louis Carr Real Estate said they are running an Expressions of Interest campaign because the home is unlike any other in the suburb.
“The three highest sales in the past few weeks have all been 25 to 30 year old homes that been fully renovated and they sold anywhere from $2.2m to $2.3m where this is brand new with nothing to spend,” she said.
The pretty gardens also include sandstone retaining walls, garden beds and plenty of lawn. There is a seamless connection between the property’s indoor and outdoor living thanks to the clever use of glass. Natural light streams through the oversized walls of windows as well as framing the views out over the property.
A wall-mounted gas fireplace, polished porcelain floor tiles, high ceilings and chic light fittings add to the modern vibe throughout the light-filled interior.
Dark cabinets and a mirrored splash back in the sleek kitchen may make you feel like whipping up a cocktail in addition to preparing a meal. It is also fitted with integrated European appliances including two ovens and gas cook top as well as additional refrigerators for wine storage. The large stone island bench doubles as a breakfast bar.
“It is very different for the suburb but we have just had so many buyers who have told me that they love it and the golden rule in real estate is that you never tell an agent that you love a house,” Ms Carr said.
“Everything has been thought about — such as the airconditioning which is located on the roof because they take up space on the ground and they need good ventilation.
“The builder has even installed handles on the roof so you can use the ladder to access it more easily.”
Floor to ceiling marble tiles used in the bathrooms adds a touch of opulence. This includes in the master ensuite which also has twin vanities, a shower and a corner bath.
The bedroom accommodation and an additional rumpus are located on the upper level of the home and accessed via the timber and glass staircase.
Zoned in the popular Murray Farm Public School catchment, the property is also close to the city bus route and the newly opened Cherrybrook train station.
