Drawing on the traditional Federation vernacular but breaking wildly free from the norm, the elegant parterre garden entry of this double-fronted beauty makes a welcoming first impression but it's the uplifting sense of space and privacy that really bring the wow factor. Part of a tightknit neighbourhood, the two-storey home is designed for family life with a huge level garden with spaces to relax, play and entertain and city glimpses from the upper level that sparkle by night. The original front of the home retains its period finery with pressed metal ceilings, jewel-like leadlights and marble fireplaces bringing a timeless quality while the contemporary rear forms the social heart anchored an entertainer's kitchen. A bank of skylights brings in the light with floor to ceiling bi-fold doors to the garden creating a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow while solar power and rainwater harvesting ensure a low carbon footprint and energy costs. Just 650m to the light rail, the four-bedroom home is around the corner from Orange Grove Market and Public School with childcare centres and recreational parkland all around.
