From its open floor plan to the tasteful renovations, every aspect of this character home is designed to impress. The charming front veranda opens to a beautiful vestibule which showcases the high ceilings, VJ's and polished pine floorboards that make this house so special. An open plan living area flows naturally into the dining room and adjacent kitchen before opening onto a wide rear balcony via bi-folding doors and sliding panel windows. The rear deck has been augmented with a sit-up bar, with plenty of room for an outdoor dining set and lounge. It currently sports a BBQ, pizza oven and esky and with the large kitchen island bench flowing through sliding windows, is purpose built for the entertainer.

A hidden alcove happily hosts a coffee machine, kettle and toaster for those who prefer a clean bench space for cooking. The living area is the hub for the 3 master-sized bedrooms, each exceeding 4x4m and with freshly installed built-in robes catering for even the most expansive wardrobe. Large casement windows allow plenty of light while tasteful black-out curtains or shutters allow a sleep in when required. The true master bedroom has a recently installed ensuite with his and hers vanities and benefiting from a new instant gas hot water system. A 4th semi-enclosed room at the front of the house seen through classic wooden arches, has variably functioned as a study nook, play room or nursery and currently hosts a stand-up piano and reading corner. It could be a 4th bedroom for a child or sleep-out. It is open to your imagination! The existing family bathroom has been lovingly preserved for the family, with a large bath with hand-held shower, separate shower and separate toilet – all running off an efficient solar hot water system. Newly installed solar panels on the north facing rear roof assist in powering the remainder of the house reducing energy bills significantly.
