It has given their family almost a decade of happy memories, and now vendors Ben and Elsa say it’s time for another family to enjoy the stunning West Lakes home they have created.
The couple built their dream home at 28 Troubridge Drive through revered builders Scott Salisbury, including everything they wanted to live a life of luxury in a floorplan that easily facilitated family living.

“We’ve lived in the western suburbs for the past 24 years, so that was somewhere we wanted to be,” Ben says.
“Land was scarce, but when we found this place we thought it was a good blank canvas to build something we really liked on.
“Troubridge Dr is particularly beautiful and a really lovely street to live on, and Scott Salisbury really brought our vision to life.
“We wanted something that ticked all our boxes and had the things that we like and enjoy.
“In our previous home the spare bedrooms were just a little bit small, so we wanted something with a bit more room.
“We gave them a brief of what we needed in our home and they came up with a design that we tweaked and my wife put in a few touches here and there which personalised it a bit more to our taste.
“And we’re incredibly happy with it.”
Ben says it was designed with family living – and the future – in mind.
“We designed it with the master bedroom and the living quarters downstairs, so the kids have their own area upstairs, well away from the adults downstairs, and they can do what they want up there and you can live virtually independently of each other if you want to,” he says.
“Plus we future-proofed the house for us so that as we got older we wouldn’t have to navigate stairs as everything we need is available to us on the lower level.”

The home offers 509sqm of indoor and outdoor living space over its two levels and has four bedrooms – the master with a dressing room and luxe ensuite – a spacious open-plan kitchen, family and dining room, an upstairs retreat opening to a large balcony with expansive views; an alfresco area with outdoor kitchen; a home gym/workshop, a home theatre, a triple garage and a sparkling pool.
“It has been a wonderful home and we’ve really loved living here,” Ben says.
Now looking to downsize and travel more, Ben says it will be hard to say goodbye to their West Lakes masterpiece.
“We are exceptionally proud of it,” he says.
“We’ve come from really humble beginnings and now we’ve created this beautiful home that we have really loved and has served us so well.
“We’ll miss it.”
The home is being sold via an expressions of interest campaign, which closes at noon on June 25.
