Overview

Nestled within a wonderfully leafy streetscape and perched opposite a quaint antique store that perfectly reflects its timeless personality, this enchanting residence is overflowing with warmth, elegance and the kind of soul that simply can't be replicated. Beautifully inviting from the very first glance, it's a home that celebrates yesterday's craftsmanship while offering the perfect canvas to create tomorrow's memories. It has also been stylishly updated where it matters most, leaving you with very little to do other than simply bring your belongings, move straight on in and embrace both old and new. A remote-controlled access gate secures a wide front parking bay, with the adjacent pedestrian gate also helping enclose a private and hidden garden courtyard - all overlooked by a large north-facing full-width entry verandah with a leadlight door and panelling, plus a cafe/shade blind for protection from the elements. High ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, feature ceiling cornices, tall feature skirting boards and classic light switches are commonplace throughout, helping preserve the home's original nostalgia of yesteryear. A huge king-sized master-bedroom retreat at the front of the floor plan boasts multi-door standalone mirrored wardrobes, split-system air-conditioning, a striking chandelier and ceiling rose, white plantation window shutters and feature wallpaper. The master sits across the foyer from a spacious second bedroom - also comprising of white plantation shutters, a split-system air-conditioner, a ceiling rose with a stylish light fitting and an ornate fireplace with storage and shelves on either side.

It neighbours a king-sized third bedroom with epic master-like proportions, as well as split-system air-conditioning, a sash window, four sliding doors of wall-to-wall built-in robes, extra mezzanine-style storage above and a ceiling rose to keep with theme. The functional and modern open-plan dining and kitchen area at the back of the layout features concrete bench tops, subway-tile splashbacks, double sinks, a white Ariston dishwasher, a 900mm-wide stainless-steel range hood and a 900mm-wide stainless-steel free-standing Westinghouse five-burner gas-cooktop and oven combination. Concealed beneath the kitchen lies a spectacular hidden wine cellar - your own private underground sanctuary, complete with ample space to uncork a prized bottle, host exclusive tasting evenings or gather around the table for unforgettable meals. It's a remarkable conversation piece that will leave every guest talking long after the last glass has been poured. The tastefully renovated main bathroom is flooded with natural light from a feature skylight, housing a freestanding tub, large rain/hose shower, vanity, toilet, and under-bench storage.
