This beautiful, single level, architect designed home, modelled on a bygone era was designed to assimilate perfectly into the streetscape of this superb and much sought after Claremont street in the heart of the heritage, river precinct. Recently renovated, it is a wonderful blend of modern living and character charm and will appeal to buyers with both modern and traditional tastes. With a cleverly designed floor plan providing excellent separation, the home will suit a variety of buyers from singles, couples and downsizers wanting a spacious home on a manageable block, to smaller families with one or two children.
Set on a 613sqm block, the home is nestled privately behind a traditional brick and wrought iron fence covered with many climbing roses that frame the gorgeous English cottage gardens filled with strategically placed perfumed roses, gardenias, hydrangeas, lavenders, irises, colourful annuals and shady deciduous trees. A striking hedged wall of camellias lines a generous portion of the northern boundary fence, bathing it in pretty pink flowers during autumn.
This immaculately presented home exudes a sense of warmth, peace and serenity from the moment you step inside the front door. A spacious and welcoming entrance hall precedes the hallway, which is lined with decorative archways and cornices, making a strong visual statement. The huge master bedroom with a private dressing room, walk in robe and luxurious ensuite is positioned at the front of the home and has a lovely aspect over the garden. The large ensuite features cool grey porcelain floor tiles, large floor to ceiling white wall tiles, a double vanity with stone bench tops and white cabinetry and an indulgent spa bath. There is also a separate powder room off the hallway and a study which could be used as a nursery or fourth bedroom.
The two minor bedrooms (one king size and the other queen size) together with the second bathroom and another toilet are located at the rear of the home, creating excellent separation for children or guests. Both bedrooms have pretty garden aspects. There is also a large laundry with generous storage and bench space.
The key living areas of the home are positioned so as to take maximum advantage of the glorious northern sunshine and lovely garden aspect. The spacious light and bright all white kitchen has been recently renovated and has a huge stone bench top with a breakfast bar, generous storage and stainless steel European appliances. There is a well-positioned servery window that links the kitchen to the undercover alfresco entertaining and BBQ area. The kitchen adjoins an informal dining area or reading room, providing another place to relax and enjoy the morning papers or doze in a comfortable armchair on a sunny afternoon. A recessed nook between the double pantry and the fridge provides a handy place for a lap top.
The highlight of the home is the spacious living/dining area. A set of white, wood panelled French doors and large timber framed windows enable northern sunlight to fill the room, creating a welcoming and relaxing ambiance. The doors open onto a paved alfresco courtyard which is surrounded by lovingly maintained gardens and water feature. The living room features a well designed recessed TV cabinet and book case. There is also a servery window providing convenient access from the kitchen to the dining area.
There is a choice of two alfresco entertaining areas (one undercover, the other a perfect place to enjoy an evening drink), which are both north facing and set amongst the lush foliage of the rear gardens.
There is a large secure double garage (with storage loft) off a rear right of way plus additional secure parking for three cars, caravan or boat.
