The melding of all these facets is perfectly complemented by the designer's stunning use of clear glass, “perfect white”, warm timbers, open spaces and a seamless yet private transition from inside to outside in two locations.
In fact the home just opens up and out as you move through from the private front entrance to the contemporary open plan living areas at the rear.
In terms of construction, the entire property has been “rebuilt”, with a sensitivity to the original design, retaining original features such as timber floors, tongue and groove style walls, original windows and colonial awnings.
The rebuild however includes complete new roofing and guttering of the whole home, new entrance inc new stairs and front deck, a major addition to the rear of the dwelling (effectively doubling the floor area), new bathrooms, new laundry, new kitchen, and fully insulated walls and ceiling spaces.
Clever use of two levels has created the scope for higher ceilings in the rear of the home without detracting from the style at the front, creating a hidden surprise when entering.
Quality and style have been the hallmarks of the contemporary fitout of the home with the very best in designer bathrooms, oversized bath and shower in the main, and a stylish ensuite, both with Caesar stone benches and custom built vanities.
The laundry has a similar standard with floor to ceiling built-ins maximising the use of space.
Each of the bedrooms has its own unique style and space adding to the charm and appeal of the home. In addition the multi-purpose room at the front easily doubles as a guest bedroom, office or family TV room.
Again an abundance of quality designed cupboards maximises the space in a very seamless and minimalist style.
Towards the rear of the home the massive light filled living areas are the standout feature.
An easy flow exists between the dining area, stunning contemporary galley style kitchen and main living area, giving the appeal of open planning yet providing a hint of separation.
A totally private internal winter deck opens on one side off the living area and on the other side it melds directly onto the outdoor living deck with built in gas BBQ and sitting area.
Overlooking a totally private and hidden garden scape, with easy access to the pool, pool house and children's play area makes it perfect for the entertainment hub it was designed to be.
The kitchen is truly every chef's dream from the magnificent 6 burner ILVE gas cooker, to the Miele dishwashwer, built-in microwave, plumbed fridge space, and a design which maximises bench and cupboard space including a specially fitted appliance drawer and soft closers on all drawers.
Underneath has not been forgotten with water tanks hidden away, loads of storage space and easy access to the double car accommodation which enjoys an all weather internal access from the home.
