This fabulous 1910s, two-storey weatherboard and tile villa must be seen to be fully appreciated.
A seamless blend of old and new, it oozes character and colour from the very instant you set foot inside the front door, articulately transformed by globally recognised designer Neil McLachlan.
Soaring ceilings serve to enhance a sense of airy spaciousness in the elegant formal lounge with gas fireplace and period light fittings - and in the expansive kitchen and dining space beyond.
While the middle of the house has been opened up for 21st century living, precious elements such as stained glass windows from the past remain throughout, cherished by the current owners. A Falcon cooker, granite benchtops, designer joinery and full scullery combine to make the spectacular kitchen truly the heart of this home. The colour infused family room is cool in summer and cosy in winter and the cosy media room adjacent is ideal for keeping the young ones entertained.
In a house full of surprises, even the downstairs powder room and a little office nook are packed with personality.
On the second level, a generous master suite with ensuite and capacious walk-in wardrobe enjoys views across the rooftops of this leafy suburb, while a second bedroom features a spectacular floral feature wall and a city vista.
The third bedroom has more than enough space for band practice and teenage sleepovers and the family bathroom is smart and well-equipped with a large shower, and spa bath. A generous sized bedroom above the double garage has its own bathroom and kitchenette and is perfect for the au pair, extended family or as a teenage hideaway.
Throughout the house, only the very best designer wallpapers and soft furnishing fabrics have been used and the interior design is exceptionally tasteful and in places, bold and fun.
The 832m² north westerly section has been beautifully landscaped and the luscious carpet like lawn beyond the heated pool and spa looks almost too good to be real. Numerous decks, verandas and the outdoor gazebo make outdoor living a delight and a dream come true for those who like to entertain.
