Introduced by a picket fence and leafy front garden this stunning brick Edwardian family home reveals a spectacular renovation and extension over two levels; which successfully combines elegant period integrity with brilliant contemporary flair creating a lasting impression and delivering light-filled, north-facing living and entertaining areas including a heated self-cleaning pool to be enjoyed with family and friends.

Subtle period attributes including a tessellated tile verandah, coloured leadlight glass and original fireplaces in the front rooms blend seamlessly with the interior featuring high ceilings throughout, floor-to-ceiling bi-fold glass doors, ceiling height windows and brick walls plus dark stained floors. A central hallway leads to a downstairs main bedroom with a wall of built-in robes and a pristine ensuite, a study and living room flowing through full-height doors to the expansive family domain; where a superbly crafted and appointed entertainer’s kitchen equipped with prestige Miele and Bosch appliances caters perfectly for small or large groups and leads to an adjacent laundry and pool bathroom. All connecting to side and rear decks overlooking a private and tree-lined, tranquil setting ideal for alfresco living. The upper level features a generous family retreat and study area with a vaulted ceiling, a sparkling family bathroom and three additional bedrooms, two at the rear opening to a northern sun drenched balcony. Comprehensive appointments include an alarm, sliding louvre shutters shading the family domain, electric blinds, hydronic heating, R/C air conditioners (throughout the home), ample storage including a garden shed and a woodFP designed by Chiminees Philippe.
