This stone-fronted character home showcases unwavering luxury, style, and elegance, thoughtfully integrated through exquisite renovations and extensions.
Upon arrival through the automated driveway gate, a manicured and carefully curated garden with established hedging and lawns greet you. The original sandstone and red brick home was built in 1926 and has been masterfully renovated and extended to harmoniously blend the old with the new.
The front formal sitting room off the formal entry welcomes you in style as you open the beautiful octagonal glass double doors.
An original decorative fireplace and leadlight windows overlooking the front garden remind you of the home's history. High ceilings, intricately moulded ceiling roses, fretwork and polished Baltic pine timber floors provide glimpses of the home's original architecture.
The original part of the home has a flexible design that allows for using rooms for formal requirements or as bedrooms. There are 3 bedrooms in this home section, all with ceiling fans and plantation shutters, and 2 with built-in robes. The first glimpse of the stunning renovations is evident in the first of the 3 family bathrooms, showcasing floor-to-ceiling wall tiles, frameless glass shower and floating vanity with a stone top and bowl sink.
The impressive 70m deep allotment has afforded this home the scope for the owners to extend deep into the block, and extend they have! Revealing itself in all its glory is the magnificent open-plan living space. The kitchen, dining and family room are over 12 metres long, providing the modern family a space to gather and come together. Whether you have extended family or children and pets, the home's multiple living options and flexibility rely on an area of this size to provide a communal space for all to enjoy.
Functionality and form have been thoughtfully executed in the stunning gourmet kitchen. Caesarstone benchtops are generous, and the two under-bench ovens mean cooking for a large family is a breeze. Shaker-style cabinetry combines with black glass splashbacks, and there is a 1200mm wide, 5-burner gas cooktop. Storage and pantries line the opposite wall, and if more was needed, there is a huge utility room down the hall for bulk items, extra fridges or use as storage.
Spotted gum timber floors extend the room's length, and the lofty ceilings create a sense of space and light. A glass door provides direct access to the side paved parking area, and double French doors off the family room connect you to the brilliant outdoor entertaining area.
Split into two wings, this modern extension provides another 2 bedrooms at one end plus a 2nd luxury bathroom complete with a fantastic stand-alone bath servicing the family room and children's zone. The opposite wing is where you will find the primary bedroom suite. Soft window furnishings frame the double-aspect windows that look out to the pool and rear garden. An extraordinarily long walk-in robe is well-appointed with generous storage solutions and an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and sleek styling.
A spacious laundry room with wall-to-wall custom cabinetry and external access. At the rear is a separate toilet for direct pool access.
Outside, you have the main entertainment area under the main roof and a pool pavilion to the rear of the garden that connects you to the glass-fenced 12m long swimming pool. Beyond is a garden shed, children's play area, basketball ring, plus room for a cricket pitch.
