Plenty: ‘Entertainer's home' boasts theatre, pool, tennis court
This architectural masterpiece in Plenty's Blackwood Acres has been home for three years to the vendor and her family – her husband, four children and pet Frenchie. 'The pocket we are in is really a hidden gem surrounded by grand residences and lush gardens,' the vendor says. 'It's only 21km to the CBD and you get the feel of the country, but you're in the suburbs.' The home at 2 Grange Ave sits on 4014sq m surrounded by nature, with Plenty Gorge on its doorstep. 'There are amazing walking and mountain bike riding trails as well as Blue Lake, which is a well-known watering hole in the summer. It is full of people taking a dip,' the vendor says. While the location is undeniably stunning, it's the home itself that takes your breath away.

Thoughtfully designed to capture natural light, the entry foyer with an atrium garden and soaring 6m ceilings creates a memorable first impression, while in situ concrete formwork and reclaimed San Selmo bricks imported from Spain add timeless texture and elegance. The dining zone and a sunken lounge room feature a soaring double-height ceiling, gas log fire, and a custom-designed couch, while a glass fibre reinforced concrete feature wall by Concrete Collective adds architectural drama. 'The sunken lounge is a favourite of mine as we all gather there each evening as a family, and it's so cosy,' the vendor says. But more than anything, the house is 'definitely an entertainer's home'. 'We have had countless events and celebrations in this home, as recently as Christmas gone, when we entertained 60-odd family members,' she says. 'We celebrated our daughter's 16th in the home and another's 13th. The kids have hosted their deb after-parties and formal parties. 'It's a place where we all just come together.' The home features multiple living spaces with standout architectural features, as well as outdoor living centres including a floodlit tennis court, solar-heated pool and spa, all of which have been favourite features for the current owners. 'Our little boy loves the theatre room and tennis court, and basketball ring,' says the vendor. 'The kids all collectively love the pool and spa. They sit in the spa on many nights, whether summer or winter. And my husband loves having his own wellness centre with a gym, sauna, steam room and ice bath. He gets lost in there,' she says.
