A seamless transition from old to new has created an inspired family home renovated for visual effect and lifestyle appeal. Graciously appointed, the home combines modern functionality with the enduring charm of the traditional architecture for first class family living in a most desirable location. Polished timber floors and leadlight are period features, as are the soaring ceilings continued through the updated section of this impressive residence to preserve its integrity. A formal lounge and dining area is central to the floor plan, while the stylish kitchen overlooks a spacious family room with direct access onto a covered deck. Views from the deck extend past a garage/workshop (with handy toilet and basin) to the brilliant pool enclosure, complete with decking and additional covered entertaining area. Established landscaping adds further to the amenity of a tranquil oasis and is low maintenance with auto watering & dripper system installed. A master suite has double doors opening out to the deck, walk-in robe and ensuite, while three other bedrooms are provided easy access to the renovated family bathroom with luxurious corner bath. The updated laundry has good storage and a fourth toilet. Serviced throughout by ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, the lounge has a slow combustion wood fire to warm winter nights and the kitchen is beautifully appointed with gas cooktop, underbench oven and dishwasher. This beautifully presented home has the chic and panache of a contemporary renovation but the character and warmth of days of old‹¨«?‹¨«
