Prepare to be impressed by this immaculate Eastwood home. Built from warm-toned brick and tile, with a Federation style elevation, in stands on a level 658sm block. A tiled veranda, complete with cream powder-coated aluminum balustrade, wraps around the front of the house. The front garden is beautifully landscaped and includes a modern water feature that greets visitors with a quirky touch of style. Double front doors, featuring stained glass panels, are guarded by two-way vision security doors and lead into the light, bright entry hall, which is laid with neutral ceramic tiles.
The formal lounge is at the front of the home, and offers a double aspect. Berber carpets, a neutral palette and opulent window treatments, including bespoke drapes and pelmets, give this room warmth and class. It offers a soothing space away from the hubbub of family life.
Next to the lounge is the conveniently located study with warm-toned wood laminate flooring, spacious built-in desk and magnetic white board. Through French doors across the hallway is the formal dining room, which connects directly to the kitchen via double doors. The ceramic tiles and luxurious window treatments continue in here, creating a pleasant room in which to share a meal with family and friends.
The kitchen is a triumph, with granite worktops and splashbacks, twin sinks and drainers, American Oak cabinetry and large corner pantry. Other features include a built-in desk area and handy shelving above the double refrigerator. It is a welcoming, practical space - a delight to work in - and overlooks the huge family-dining area. This is the hub of the home: spacious, with clean lines, and flooded with natural light. Folding doors lead into the media room with its built-in entertainment unit, Foxtel and surround sound speakers.
The two family bathrooms are built to high specifications with glossy floor-to-ceiling tiling; Corian vanities, including double sinks; bathtubs; and large glassed in showers stalls. The well-designed laundry has built-in worktops, huge linen cupboard and plenty of storage. Three more double-sized bedrooms, all with spacious built-in robes and contemporary window treatments, complete the package; they are cleverly zoned so that they are quite separate from the main living areas.
The house includes satellite Foxtel and inbuilt surround speakers in both the formal lounge and media room. Two ducted air-conditioning systems, one to cool the bedrooms and one that services the rest of the home, means you are as cool as a cucumber all year round. Five gas bayonets, one outside for the barbecue and four indoors for welcome winter warmth, are a thoughtful addition.
Salute the sunset daily from the fabulous alfresco. Fully brick paved, it comprises a pitched roof patio, a cooling water feature and convenient work surface with power points. A sparkling swimming pool is safely separated from the entertaining area by a contemporary safety glass fence. A handy outdoor shower means there is less mess indoors after your playtime in the pool. Bring out the table and chairs, put on your bathers, and relax.
With easy links to the city, good schools, shopping and the beach, this beautifully maintained home would suit a family admirably. Viewing is a must.
