Architecturally designed and exquisitely reimagined, the renovation of this charming period home has transformed it from classic original into a contemporary family home of sophisticated style, exhilarating space and effortless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Whilst retaining its classic verandah façade and three original front rooms, masterful design has woven these early elements into a modern family environment whose excellence is reflected not just in premium materials and finishes but in refined attention to detail, its close connection to nature and an expert understanding of family life.
Beyond its leadlight entry, a wide central hall flows past a front living room with original open fireplace, a second bedroom with built-in robes and original fireplace and the magnificent main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe with extensive storage and an ensuite whose designer dimensions include an oversized shower and bespoke double vanity with feature pendant lighting and custom storage. Two additional bedrooms featuring built-in robes follow, with a quiet library/study nook made irresistible by the inclusion of a picture window capturing tranquil water and feature garden aspects.
At the end of the hall, a soaring cathedral ceiling bookended by large gabled windows adds exhilarating space and volume to stunning open plan living/dining areas that feature a broad gas fireplace and a striking Statuarietto marble entertainer's kitchen complete with luxe natural stone island, extensive built-in storage, NEFF appliances including induction cooktop, warming drawer and both pyrolytic and steam ovens, Zip Tap (sparkling) and a concealed butler's pantry with bar and sub floor cellar/storage.
