Fully overhauled from the lounge to the landscaping, this modern elevated is going under the hammer in Brinkin.
The beautifully updated family home at 3 Edinburgh Cres sits on an 851 sqm block with dual living, pool and plenty of indoor-outdoor space.
Owner Sophie Hedges said she and her husband bought the home in December last year with the intent to transform it.
“We saw a lot of potential to uplift the property,” she said.
The couple are experienced renovators and set about overhauling the Brinkin home from top to bottom.
“It was not a quick cosmetic flip, it was always fully intentional to totally transform the house,” Ms Hedges said.
“We wanted to create a home that reflected the way we’d live ourselves and the lifestyle of Darwin.
“So, very easy going and incorporating that inside and outside living.”

Ms Hedges said the best thing about 3 Edinburgh Cres was that it was a total turnkey property.
“The new owners can just walk in and everything is done,” she said.
“But it also has space to make it their own.”
The home has all upgraded plumbing and electrical, a new granny flat downstairs and an extension upstairs where a deck was reclaimed to create an ensuite and a combined butler’s pantry and laundry.

Upstairs, there is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area that flows out the huge deck.
The kitchen has white cabinetry, timber accents, an island bench with breakfast bar, stone benchtops, butler’s pantry and a servery to the balcony.
“We love the hidden butler’s pantry/laundry off the kitchen,” Ms Hedges said.
“The door blends in with the (feature wall), so it’s like a hidden gem.”
The main bedroom has a built-in robe and an ensuite with dual basins, backlit mirrors and frameless glass shower.
The two remaining bedrooms have built-in robes and there is a family bathroom with soaker tub.
Outside, the deck looks out over the pool and there are plenty of ceiling fans, plus bar seating at the servery.

Downstairs, the self-contained granny flat includes a kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms with built in robes, and a bathroom with outdoor access.
Also under the home, there is a carport and a covered entertaining and bar area, which flows out to the pool and yard.
The pool has paved surrounds and glass fencing, while the yard has been returfed and fully landscaped.
The property has a garden shed, plenty of driveway parking at the front of the home and a separate secure driveway, perfect for the boat or caravan.
Ms Hedges said the property was designed with family in mind, but it would suit a broad range of buyers.
“With the set up downstairs, it could appeal to intergenerational families or someone looking to rent out the granny flat as an extra income stream,” she said.
The property is a short walk to the beach and university, and is close to shops and schools.
