An inspired transformation has turned this unique three bedroom Edwardian into the embodiment of desirable contemporary family living. Proudly occupying a corner position, ‘Tosca’ (circa. 1911) hosts a wealth of exquisite features including open fireplaces with carefully crafted mantelpieces, high ceilings with deep cornices and rosettes, leadlight and original Baltic pine floorboards. With a large formal living room, spacious gourmet kitchen/meals, family room, covered outdoor entertaining area with merbau deck and bluestone pavers, and studio retreat/laundry, there’s no shortage of appealing spaces to enjoy. Baumatic appliances including a five burner gas cooktop, fan forced oven and dishwasher meet with a canopy rangehood, wealth of cupboards, drawers and generous stone counters in the eye catching kitchen/meals, linked by an exposed brick wall to the family area lending more than a touch of industrial chic. Enhanced by landscaped gardens, the residence also boasts big bedrooms (two with robes), two striking bathrooms including an ensuite, hydronic heating, a driveway and automatic garage featuring vehicle access from leafy Burton Crescent plus a door leading directly to the courtyard and another to a sunny sitting area.
