When old becomes new

Located on over 1000sqm in a quiet residential area this cosy villa has been transformed into a sophisticated masterpiece.

The appeal commences from the street with a neat iron fence, lush green lawns, a tranquil fish pond and a wonderful front timber deck located under the verandah. The driveway has been gravelled for easy maintenance and further protection has been added via shade sails and shade cloth structures located off the front deck.

Impact is immediate as you enter the home into the living area where seamless floating floorboards and 11 foot high ceilings are combined with the original ornate pressed tin ceiling to reflect a bygone era. The living area is warmed by the open fire place whilst a reverse cycle aircon provides modern day heating and cooling.

The master bedroom located adjacent has a wonderful outlook on life with a recently installed window that takes in wonderful views of the outside garden and glimpses of the sea. A great feature of the master is the enormous walk-in robe come dressing room which will satisfy the most savvy fashion follower. Finally this room has its own aircon and ceiling fan.

The 2nd bedroom is positioned off the kitchen and would make a great boys room. Whilst further down the hallway is the last of the internal bedrooms. Created for the little princess of the home this room incorporates whitewash floorboards and pristine walls. The last of the rooms is the cute study nook that is plenty large enough to house a decent size workstation.

The galley style kitchen has been renovated with black bench tops and a tiled splashback. Including a stainless steel dishwasher, gas cook top with stainless steel backdrop, electric oven and a curved glass stainless steel range hood the look is complete and the area is more than practical. And at the end of the room a glass door has been installed to let wonderful light in and access to the side pergola.

The last modification has been the bathroom recently tiled in mocha tones with parquetry style ceramic tiles on the floor complete with a new corner bath with rainfall shower, floating shelves and stainless steel tap ware. It really is a great use of space with a wonderful sense of style.

The rear yard incorporates two shed structures. The first shed contains the laundry as well as a carport with a pit. The second has been converted into two smaller semi lined rooms with power that could be used as extra sleeping space. And for the kids a cubby house has been installed close to the grass area.

And every square inch of ground has been covered in gravel, grass or garden beds with drought resistance plants, effectively creating a low maintenance and low dust yard. The side pergola has been tastefully paved in a checker fashion and is kept cool during the summer months by shade cloth overhead.

It really is a little home with a big heart.
