Seeing is believing and certainly this is true for this great five bedroom family home in one of the prime locations in Sandy Bay, built in the late 60s but undergoing a modern makeover. It truly is deceptive from the street how much living, entertaining and accommodation space is available and you simply don't get a sense of the scale of the house and its versatility until you wander through.
It virtually is two houses in one. All of the bedroom and living spaces are on the top level. The entrance at street level opens through original double glass doors to a formal lounge with open fireplace flowing through to the open plan classy modern all new kitchen and dining area. The kitchen features lovely slate grey Blum soft close cupboards and white Essa stone benchtops, Bosch appliances including gas cooktop, and a great walk-in pantry. A reading room off the dining area will be a popular retreat, and facing east will attract the morning sun. This opens to a timber deck and barbecue area. Panel heaters and a heat pump will ensure great heating options year round. Bamboo flooring gives a modern warm feel to the home throughout the top level.
There is a separate laundry, powder room and brand new designer bathroom in classic neutral tones. Accommodation is three double bedrooms and a study or four bedrooms, all with quality built-in wardrobes and loads of storage.
Downstairs, which is fully carpeted, is a self contained one bedroom flat with a kitchenette, bathroom and its own private access, perfect for a teenager, in-laws or as a second income stream as it has separate heating, power and water.
And there's more a music room and a separate media room all with external access and more underground storage. There is dual off street parking in the driveway.
There are easy care grounds suitable for the busy family that this home is guaranteed to suit.
The famous gourmet food outlet Lipscombe Larder is just a short walk down the road and this location will suit whatever school your children go to. A real hidden gem that should be viewed to be believed.
