EXPERIENCE SUPERB FAMILY LIVING!
Set behind a tall brush fence, with double gated entry into a 'Resort Style' family home, sure to impress.
This wide, well proportioned, stone fronted Gentleman's Bungalow residence (C 1926) has been thoughtfully re-furbished over recent years, extended sympathetically to blend with the original architecture, whilst providing a most practical floorplan.
From the moment you step inside this charming home, there is an instant feeling of warmth, offering rich timbers & character features, including tall ceilings & leadlights.
Comprising 4 double bedrooms. Both the master bedroom and bedroom 2 have been fitted with a wall of quality timber built-in robes (mirror panels). Bedroom 4 enjoys a northerly aspect & overlooks the manicured rear yard and pool setting.
There are 2 'Heritage' style bathrooms. One of the bathrooms is central to the master bedroom & bedroom 2, whilst the 2nd is located close to bedrooms 3 & 4. The 2nd bathroom also provides a delightful claw-foot bath.
Enjoy the elegant surrounds of the formal sitting room off the entrance to the home. A beautiful room to sit back & relax, offering rich polished Baltic floorboards & custom-fitted drapes.
The sitting room includes classic glass/timber French doors, which open to the formal dining room (currently disposed as a home office), featuring a detailed timber mantelpiece to the decorative fireplace.
Cook up a storm in the sensational Chef's kitchen. The striking Blackwood cabinetry, combined with solid granite benchtops, splashbacks & stainless steel Ilve appliances provide instant 'WOW' factor.

There are 2 doors from the extension opening to the covered pergola & the large picture windows invite loads of natural light through, including the ideal northerly aspect into the extended areas.
