The renovated kitchen (2018) includes granite benchtops, pull out drawers and loads of cupboard storage. Included are stainless steel appliances both gas and electric (900mm oven), timber joinery finishes and granite splash backs, making for a sleek, functional and good looking cooking environment.
The sympathetic extension to the house is a large main bedroom, ensuite and huge walk-in robe with beautiful French doors overlooking the entertaining area and garden. The thoughtfully renovated ensuite (2018) includes a wall mounted vanity with double bench top sinks, and modern fittings including a waterfall shower, floor to ceiling tiles and plenty of linen storage.

The yard also includes two original Ainslie fig trees. The studio (converted garage) includes air conditioning and a laundry. This is a fantastic and flexible extra space that makes for an ideal home office or teenager retreat, or possibly a potential granny as plans have already been drafted.
