Last Listing description (December 2014)
Sometimes a home has all the right elements; this is such a residence. It has a beautiful facade surrounded by glorious gardens. It has an interior that is both spacious and elegantly understated (while also being 'uber' practical). And, the
Neighbourhood is one that most of us just dream of living in. Even before you enter the home it works its magic on you. Limestone Walls interplanted with clipped hedges create privacy from the road, while the established gardens that greet you are heavenly. There are standard roses, brick paths and lush green lawns, a perfect foil for the pretty home with its veranda and double Leadlight front door.
Inside, you can tell that this has been a comprehensive and clever restoration. Everywhere you cast your eyes, the level of detail is brilliant. The neutral decor subtracts nothing from the ornate plasterwork, the lead lights and the gleaming timber floors. A Predominately white palette allows for the home itself to be the hero. Bursts of colour in furnishings and accessories create an Intimate interior that is soothing but in no way bland. For example the all white kitchen is enriched by the unexpected, a bright red glass splash back..... ingenius. The original part of the home has three bedrooms, all with ornate high ceilings leadlight windows and luxurious carpet or rugs.There are 2 bathrooms, both mirroring the same minimalist decor. The 2nd bathroom also contains a cleverly concealed laundryThe modern extension has been seemlessly created to open the kitchen to the informal living and dining which in turn opens to the outdoor living. This has been designed to be the perfect addition to the inside, an extension to the heart of the home, where family can eat, cook, work and relax, as well as a place to welcome friends. The entertaining area, due to the lay of the land, is elevated and has some great views. There is a built-in spa and water feature and steps on both side, that lead either to the large garage, or to the beautiful back yard complete with an original 'dunny' (modernized internally of course) perfect for the keen gardener. There are so many nooks and crannies and areas to discover with this home, it is a delight from front to back. We know you are going to fall in love!
