Last Listing description (February 2017)

The appeal of this fine family home is immediate and permanent. Recently renovated & extended with a host of designer finishes to present exquisitely.
Beautifully landscaped garden behind the gleaming white picket fences.
Tuck-pointed brickwork features on the front porch/veranda, before entering the home & being greeted by high ceilings, bespoke ceiling roses, detailed architraves, and solid jarrah floorboards that have been thoughtfully sealed in a family-friendly (non-toxic) oil-based finish.

The open plan living design incorporates the kitchen, featuring Ceasar stone benches and Miele appliances, family and dining rooms in one massive space with 3.7m high ceilings, polished limestone floors with gas underfloor heating and windows that bathe the rooms in natural light. This area extends seamlessly into the outdoor alfresco entertaining area via 8m sliding timber doors (you will love the bespoke flyscreens too!). A sparkling below ground pool beckons for plenty of cool summer splashing, protected by a sail shade for sun-smart comfort.
Original leadlight windows have been replicated in the extensions, with multiple areas for storage throughout the home including floor to ceiling shelves, cupboards, under stairwell storage and attic spaces.
A fine jarrah staircase leads upstairs to the master bedroom & ensuite that comes with a formidable his & hers walk in dresser room, thoughtfully designed to include full length mirrors, numerous shelves and soft-closing drawers. Light, bright & spacious, there are luscious floor to ceiling curtains to add to the feeling of plush & comfort. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a sizeable fifth bedroom/study with metres of custom-built floor to ceiling cabinetry that would make an ideal home office.
Plus...
- 2KW solar electricity system
- Ducted evaporative air-conditioning system throughout and reverse cycle split system in the kitchen/living/dining area
- Fully reticulated garden
- Excellent cross-ventilation throughout the home
- Due North-facing living areas (solar passive)
