Residing in a prestigious cul-de-sac street and part of Castle Hill’s blue ribbon ‘The Precinct’ estate, ‘Le Chateau’ is a master built ‘Felton’ designed home uniting timeless French architectural themes with contemporary excellence over three levels. The home boasts a remarkably spacious floorplan showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and world-class finishes, with its impressive layout composed of multiple oversized living areas complemented by sun washed French-inspired courtyards and landscaped private surrounds embellished with sculpted water features and statues providing authentic French charm and including a lush north facing level lawn at the rear.
A boutique parterre garden establishes a sense of formality on entry and leads to a double height foyer where flowing open plan interiors reveal high ceilings framed in ornate cornicework along with statement crystal chandeliers, arched windows, elaborate moldings tall skirting boards and architraves, French doors and wide polished brush box timber floors. There are spacious formal and informal lounge and dining areas featuring French columns as well as a state-of-the-art cinema room and connoisseur’s kitchen with island bench, 40mm stone benchtops, walk-in pantry and gourmet Miele appliances which connects through bi-folding glass doors to one of two lavish entertainment courtyards.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms including an ideal guest suite or study with adjacent powder room on the ground floor, while the master upstairs features a walk-in robe/dressing room and luxe ensuite. A family living space and main bathroom with spa bath, underfloor heating and separate powder room complete this level. On the lower ground floor is the pièce de résistance – an entire level devoted to leisure including a mosaic-tiled indoor swimming pool with bi-folding glass doors to a covered courtyard and summer kitchen plus a versatile dance studio or gym, additional bathroom, a sizeable home office including wet bar, and a vast workshop with custom shelving and a new powder room. This area is effectively self-contained (with both separate entry and internal access) and provides a multitude of lifestyle options.
Other highlights include a sweeping staircase with wrought-iron decoration, ducted r/c air conditioning, Jetmaster fireplaces, plantation shutters, surveillance and integrated speaker systems, abundant storage and extensive use of French Travertine throughout the house and alfresco areas. A fitting finale is the automatic double garage which opens to the main courtyard and provides a visually stunning space for the car enthusiast to showcase their passion. There is also a parking apron in front of the garage and a gated granite cobblestone driveway with access to the rear of the property.
