Harmoniously fusing exquisite period detailing with stylish modern finishes, the meticulously crafted ‘Melrose’ is an enchanting family retreat.

Painting a pretty picture from the street, it is set well back on the block with a sandstone path winding through level lawns and established landscaped gardens to a wide bullnose timber posted front verandah.

Graced with soaring patterned ceilings and timber flooring, it is accessed through a wide central entrance hall decorated with an elaborate sculpted arch.

Enjoying a mix of grand traditional areas and casual modern spaces, it includes a formal living with a cosy cast iron gas fireplace that opens through French doors to the front verandah plus a formal dining room warmed by an open cast iron fireplace with timber surround. There’s private separate media room, and overlooked by the kitchen at the rear, a bright open plan casual living and dining area that flows to a partially covered entertainers’ courtgarden and private enclosed level lawns all drenched in northerly sunlight.

Focused around a CaesarStone island bench that sits atop antique timber cabinetry, the kitchen is equipped with an Ariston stainless steel gas stove, microwave oven and stainless steel dishwasher. The kitchen and family room provides underfloor heating for your comfort.

The accommodation is comprised of four ample double bedrooms plus a home office or alternate fifth bedroom and the bathrooms are finished in smooth neutral modern themes.

Additional features include off-street parking for two cars, large garden storage shed, plantation shutters and gas heating and barbecue outlets.

Placed on 649sqm of near level lawns with private child-safe rear gardens, it is ideally located a short stroll from Freshwater village and within walking distance of parks, schools and beaches.

It offers a child-friendly haven of elegance, sophistication and style in a central beachside address.
