Ingeniously designed, full of precious living spaces and sophisticated decor, the interior begins via a solid entrance door and hallway which then leads around to the breathtaking open plan lounge, dining and kitchen. Set under a peaked canopy of extra height ceilings and a wall of glass running along the rear of the home, the space enjoys exquisite views over the bushland and to the Torbay Inlet.
In the formal dining space, windows peak out from every angle to maximise the vantage points of the view.
The kitchen is nothing short of a masterpiece, recently refurbished with glossy reconstituted granite bench tops that gleam with just a little sparkle for extra pizzazz. They house an abundance of cupboard space and a Maytag dishwasher underneath. Customised frosted glass and solid wood doorways are a quirky addition, one titled “Pots and Pans” and the other featuring “Food, Glorious Food” and each opening to a generous storage larger with contemporary shelving systems. The top of the range black Falcon cast iron oven and stove and matching range hood is beauty to behold; it will be sure to have the passionate cook stroking its smooth, glossy surface in contented awe.
