Residing in the heart of immensely popular, leafy, family friendly Gloster St; a magnificent, impeccably renovated and extended Federation character residence with instant 'head over heels in love' street appeal, perfectly positioned to indulge in everything this highly sought after locale has to offer.
Situated in idyllic, extremely private gardens behind high hedging and Hamptons style white picket fencing, this enchanting family home is distinguished by its striking pitch faced sandstone facade, red brick chimneys, crisp white trim sash windows, decked verandah, turned timber posts and exquisite stained glass leadlight front door with matching sidelight and transom panels.
Interiors are a beautiful fusion of old and new where original character blends effortlessly into compelling, contemporary light filled open plan spaces featuring glass, stone and timber. A striking modern palette of cool whites with black and accents of warm timber emphasizes generously proportioned rooms and abundant natural light throughout.
With multiple living areas, 4/5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large kitchen and dining, plus alfresco entertaining and gorgeous plunge pool, families of all ages and stages can live easily here yet still maintain their own space and privacy.
The original front of the home hosts a generous bedroom with built in robes and a peaceful sitting room/bedroom, overlooking private, landscaped front gardens. There's a stylish family bathroom and another spacious bedroom with fireplace. The expansive main bedroom is bright and sunny, with floor to ceiling robes and elegant ensuite.
Where jarrah melds into tile, a black steel and glass arched door marks the transition from old to new. With soaring timber lined cathedral ceilings and a wall of floor to ceiling glass, magnificent, sundrenched north facing open plan spaces are expansive, yet clearly defined by function. The superbly appointed kitchen features charcoal Shaker cabinetry, Florim stone porcelain counters, a large island with casual seating, 2 x Bosch 600mm wall ovens, gas cooktop, and Miele dishwasher, alongside a combined scullery/utility with a second dishwasher, storage and laundry facilities.
Dining seats 8 or more, with vast stacking glass doors framing fabulous outdoor entertaining spaces; the large, comfortable family living area features beautiful bay window seating with tall bifold windows opening out to tranquil, very private leafy gardens. The spacious decked alfresco is protected by the Vergola louvred roof system and is perfect for year-round dining and entertaining. There's a generous parcel of lawn, and a gorgeous plunge pool.
At the rear, the studio above the triple garage offers an additional living proposition - a very generous open plan bedroom with raked ceilings, sitting area, office nook, plus dressing room and ensuite. A staircase from the garage descends into a large wine cellar with kitchenette, sitting/dining area, Marri wine storage system, and a fabulous underground viewing window into the pool!
