Set on a generous 766sqm allotment in the highly desirable suburb of Marden, 82 Battams Road presents a beautifully transformed residence where timeless character, contemporary comfort and established gardens come together to create a home of exceptional versatility.
Originally built in 1960, this solidly constructed residence has undergone an extensive renovation and thoughtful extension, evolving from a traditional double-brick bungalow into a spacious home designed around modern family living and entertaining. The improvements have been carefully considered, from the rendered façade and secure gated entry to the light-filled interiors and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces.
Beyond the Meranti timber driveway gates and striking slatted privacy screening, the home reveals a welcoming courtyard entry, a feature specifically envisioned by the owners when transforming the property. A sunroom overlooking the courtyard fountain adds to the sense of tranquillity, while the automatic shade system allows the space to be enjoyed in varying conditions.
Inside, Tasmanian oak flooring, solid internal doors and quality finishes establish a warm and inviting atmosphere. Skylights in the living area and kitchen enhance the natural light, complementing the generous proportions and considered layout.
At the heart of the home, the impressive contemporary kitchen combines functionality with entertaining appeal. Extensive cabinetry is complemented by a generous stone island bench with breakfast bar seating, an induction cooktop, two ovens, a steam oven and a dedicated warming drawer. Provision for a wine fridge adds further convenience for those who enjoy entertaining.
The kitchen connects seamlessly with the dining and living areas, creating a central hub for everyday life. The extended living and dining space incorporates a gas log fireplace, adding warmth and ambience, while expansive glass doors provide a natural transition to the central courtyard and its inviting outdoor setting.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious main bedroom created as part of the home's extension. Complete with a beautifully appointed ensuite, this private retreat offers a welcome separation from the remaining accommodation.
Multiple living and outdoor zones provide flexibility for a range of lifestyles. A separate external rumpus room or studio offers potential for a home gym, creative workspace, teenagers' retreat or guest area, while additional outdoor sitting areas provide peaceful places to relax and enjoy the established surrounds.
The rear garden is a defining feature of the property, with mature greenery, established planting and impressive feature trees creating a private sanctuary. The magnificent Ginkgo and Jacaranda trees were among the original owners' reasons for choosing the property and today contribute to the garden's distinctive character. Complemented by thoughtfully positioned seating areas and established garden beds, the outdoor setting offers a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity.
For entertaining, the rear outdoor area features bamboo decking and an adjustable, automatically operated louvred roof system, allowing the space to be adapted to changing conditions. Together with the courtyard and additional outdoor areas, it provides multiple options for entertaining guests, enjoying family time or simply unwinding amongst the gardens.
Further enhancements throughout the property include solar panels, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, LED downlights, automatic garden watering and rainwater storage. Three garden sheds provide useful additional storage, while the secure gated frontage and monitored security system offer further practical appeal.
