Property Description
Known as Mon Paradis, 49 Thames Drive is a quietly distinctive home defined by elegance, warmth, and an extraordinary garden setting. Built in 2018 and thoughtfully crafted throughout, it offers a lifestyle that feels both refined and deeply established, a rare sense of permanence in the heart of Rolleston.Set on a generous 710m² fully fenced site, the approximately 194m² residence balances beauty and function with ease. High 2.7m stud ceilings and the presence of structural laminated timber construction bring both strength and natural warmth to the home, creating an atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, yet unmistakably elevated.
Positioned within the sought-after Lemonwood Grove Primary School zone, this is a location prized for its strong community feel and exceptional schooling. Adding to the sense of space and connection, the home enjoys immediate proximity to the community garden just beyond the rear boundary.
The kitchen is a centrepiece, designed with both style and practicality in mind. Light pours in from windows on two sides, while induction cooking, soft-close cabinetry, illuminated display shelving, and a generous walk-in pantry speak to the home's thoughtful attention to everyday living.
Living spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoors through double French doors, opening to patios and pergolas that extend the home into the garden beyond. A Metro log fire and custom mantlepiece anchor the main living area, while French-style chandeliers add character and charm throughout.
A particularly special feature is the dedicated library nook, complete with built-in bookcases, hidden storage, and a beautifully upholstered bay window seat, an inviting space for quiet reading, morning coffee, or simply watching the garden change through the seasons.
The garden is, quite simply, exceptional. Mature, productive, and lovingly cultivated, it feels more like a private orchard than a suburban section. Apricots, plums, apples, citrus, grapes, berries, herbs, and raised vegetable beds create a setting that is both beautiful and abundant, with programmable irrigation ensuring it remains effortless to maintain.
Accommodation is comfortable and flexible across three bedrooms, including a master suite with garden access, a tiled ensuite, and a sense of quiet retreat. Bedroom two is particularly well considered, featuring patio access and a built-in kitchenette, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or a boutique BnB-style setup. The family bathroom continues the home's theme of tasteful, practical design.
Outdoors, multiple patios, pergolas, archways, and carefully planned lighting create a series of intimate spaces for morning coffee, long lunches, or evenings under the garden glow.
With internal-access double garaging, excellent storage, and a move-in-ready offering that includes a range of optional chattels, this is a home that feels complete, composed, and genuinely special.
A rare opportunity to secure a French-inspired sanctuary where lifestyle, elegance, schooling, and garden abundance come together in perfect harmony.
