Breathtaking period allure marries with 21st century contemporary class to produce this exquisite double level oasis, which will please those with a penchant for high end double fronted living. Showcasing plenty of space for families and with glimpses of the city that are unforgettable, this home is brilliantly placed just a stone's throw to Newport Lakes Reserve.
Striking re-sanded timber floors make an instant first impression when you enter the property. The front part of this original 1927 Californian bungalow has been tastefully restored with fully reinsulated and replastered walls and ceiling, retrofitted double glazing, modern bathroom and central heating and cooling. Three bedrooms located towards the front of the design are superbly sized, with a dedicated work-from-home office having excellent flexibility to an additional bedroom or living. Stunning light flows through the generous rear extension, completed in 2021, and an open plan living and dining zone with exposed brick and in-slab heating adds a heartwarming tranquility to your everyday experience.
The beautifully reimagined kitchen will be a paradise for home cooks and entertainers offering sumptuous dark stone countertops, a walk-in pantry, separate butler's pantry and Bertazzoni freestanding range with 6 burner cooktop and dual electric ovens. Selected features from previous iterations of the property have been thoughtfully retained, including reclaimed maple-wood bowling alley used as countertops in the butlers pantry!
The top floor offers a secluded main bedroom which has the whole level to itself, and boasts its own balcony, luxurious ensuite, and walk-in robe (with pull-down stairs to access the rooftop perfect to watch the fireworks on New Years Eve). The upstairs level also has a 2nd balcony and charming sitting room with access to the roof space at the front of the house.
Other home highlights include a downstairs bathroom, built-in coral reef fish tank for lovers of all things aquatic, Bang and Olufsen sound system, pull-down projector screen in central living, reverse cycle heating and cooling and Jotul wood burning stove. A combined 11kW of solar panels on the extension are paired with Fronius inverters, a 14kwh battery and 30 amp plug for EV charging. Other features include an in-ground wine cellar, rear entertainer's deck and garden, landscaped front garden, and double garage/studio with large above storage space.
Love having the lake and reserve so close by, while you're also in close proximity to Newport Lakes Primary School, Sacred Heart Primary School, Leo Hoffman Reserve, Ducrow Reserve with playground, an array of shops around Melbourne Road, buses, and Newport Station.
