There’s a wonderful sense of escape on exclusive Northminster Way, where quality homes sit among the treetops and elevated views sweep across the tranquil waters of Secret Bay. Privately set back from the street on 687sqm, this substantial five-bedroom residence makes the most of its peaceful setting with approximately 345sqm of indoor/outdoor living across two spacious levels. Two large living areas and three bathrooms give big families room to spread out, while the versatile lower level can function almost independently, making it ideal for teenagers, adult children, grandparents or guests, with potential for Airbnb or additional income.

Upstairs, everyday life plays out against a beautiful backdrop of treetops and water. The open plan living area connects with a contemporary island kitchen and cathedral-ceilinged dining zone, where a huge picture window pulls the Secret Bay outlook right into the room. Slide open the doors to the covered deck and there’s even more space to dine, entertain or settle in with a drink as the sun goes down. Motorised Ziptrak blinds enclose the deck when needed, making it a genuine year-round living space. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this level.

Downstairs adds a rare degree of flexibility with a huge rumpus, kitchenette, fifth bedroom and third bathroom creating an easy set-up for extended family, independent young adults or guests. It’s also Council-approved for family day care, presenting an opportunity to operate a childcare business from home. A covered verandah overlooks the backyard, where a cleared and fenced area provides secure space for kids to play.

With a host of inclusions and thoughtful extras throughout, highlights include:

- Oversized double garage with 3m x 3m attic storage
- 7.2kW rooftop solar helping to keep electricity costs down
- 12kW ducted air conditioning and cosy winter fire
- Stone-topped kitchen with brand new cooktop, plus wall oven and dishwasher
