Sitting majestically on a half-acre block, this federation style home has been lovingly restored and updated to keep the best of its 1930 style while adding all the modern comforts we love in the 21st century.

From the sweeping front lawns you enter the property via a covered entrance into a hallway, with the formal living room to your right. This is a huge living space, one of two, featuring a large bay window to take in the lovely garden views. There is also a feature fireplace that can turn this large open area into a cosy family space.

Following the hallway through the house, you come to the true heart of this home, the large open family room, with its wood burner and French doors leading out to a covered patio and sweeping lawns and gardens. This space boasts high ceilings, charming wood framed doors and striking flooring.

Just off the family room is the open plan kitchen and dining room. The polished wooden floors flow through to this space. The kitchen is ultramodern, but in a classic country style that suits this home perfectly. You will find an induction cooktop, stainless steel dishwasher and a great feature splashback.

The dining room is a great size and features the original wood panelling.

There are four bedrooms, three with built in robes and one with an ensuite. At the front of the house is a large bedroom with a bay window that captures the great water views. Opposite this room is another large bedroom with its own ensuite. There is a smaller bedroom at this end of the house, and a fourth at the rear of the house, opposite the family bathroom.

The family bathroom has been renovated to capture the period of the house, while still being a modern space. It features a separate shower and a charming claw foot bathtub.

At the rear of the property there are two carports, plus plenty of off street parking. The laundry and a small office sit at the end of the carport that attaches to the house.

The property also includes a large garage / workshop, an aviary / chook pen and, in keeping with the garden setting, a gazebo.

If you love the style of last century, but want all the modern conveniences, then you should inspect 21-23 Abbotsfield Road.
