Ever wondered what makes the perfect party guest? It’s about standing out without having to try too hard . and with its good looks and great outlook, 18 Lant Street in coveted Chapel Hill is a house that knows how to have a good time.
Striking 1970s architectural features have been enhanced with a modern twist, setting the scene for a host of celebrations from 21st birthdays to intimate dinner parties . and it’s easy to be drawn to its classic style.
Ideal for couples or families of all ages, it features:
* Three bedrooms upstairs including a master retreat with ensuite, plus a new and versatile media room downstairs which could also be used as a fourth bedroom;
* Extensive renovations with a new kitchen, bathrooms, tiles, paint and landscaping; and
* Easy-to-maintain gardens with leafy zones for entertaining.
Inside the rendered brick exterior, the large loungeroom sets a stunning first impression. With soaring raked ceilings and its own built-in bar, glossy new tiles have become a dance floor with a disco ball illuminating the room’s classic proportions, and an air-conditioning unit which helps keep the whole house cool.
From here, the party can flow out to a paved entertaining terrace for a twilight soiree under the stars, or through to the dining room for a more formal affair.
Entertaining is easy in the timeless black and white kitchen with plenty of cupboards, shelves and drawers, a classic mix of two-pac and display glass doors, along with a dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, big pantry and room for a double fridge.
For quieter nights in, enjoy a movie in the newly-built downstairs media room, which could also be an ideal teen or guest bedroom. There is a handy third restroom in the nearby laundry, while downstairs also enjoys internal access to the remote double lock-up garage.
New stairs with plenty of built-in storage lead to the upper level and its beautifully polished timber floors, and a half wall overlooking the lounge room which provides the perfect place for a study nook.
The master suite offers an escape from the party — or the perfect place to plan for it — with a walk-in robe, fresh ensuite with a new shower screen and tiles, and a Juliet balcony so you can wave goodbye to your guests while overlooking the treetops.
The other two upstairs bedrooms enjoy plenty of cupboard space —one has a walk-in robe — and share a family-sized renovated bathroom.
High on the hill boasting fresh, cool breezes, it also features:
* Security screens across the windows;
* Concreted areas so children can ride their bikes or do some painting, with a grassed area at the side of the house;
* Room for storage in the garage and a garden shed at the rear of the property; and
* Easy access to arterial roads within short walking distance to the city bus, parkland, sporting fields and a popular dog off-leash area.
