Embracing the leafy calm and lifestyle verve its enclave is famous for, this Fowler and Ward reinvention of an early-inter-war cottage promotes easy-living elegance, sunlit sophistication, and functionality with the family in mind. Lush landscaping and a timeless façade prelude interiors striking an inspired balance between history and modernity. Four substantial bedrooms are accompanied by a chic main-room ensuite and central bathroom with a bathtub; perfect counterparts to a back section awash with all-day sun. A raked ceiling and full-height glass add to the space and occasion of a wide-open living/dining domain, stepping into a backyard brilliant for energetic kids, entertaining friends, and unwinding among a flourishing grape vine, jacaranda, olive and fig trees, and various flora besides. Siemens, Smeg, and Fisher & Paykel appliances enhance a granite-top kitchen, while other highlights include comprehensive heating/cooling, blackbutt vanities, Fritz Hansen lights, electric blinds, abundant storage, a double carport, and immediacy to Melville Road and Grantham Street shops and eateries, the best of Sydney Road, scattered parks, acclaimed schools, and the CBD-bound 58 Tram.
