Not only does this home include magnificent formal living spaces, it also offers a truly substantial family room with century-old polished timber floors emanating from Sydney's King Street wharves. The enchanting sun room is solar oriented, has a pitched ceiling & classic checkerboard-tile flooring; & you're sure to love as well, the generous study with its cushioned bay window seats, French doors & stunning garden outlook. Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning.
Budding chefs should be enamoured by every aspect of this renewed kitchen in the classic style contrasting splash back tiling & granite bench tops are complemented by a free-standing AGA-style twin stove with its 5-burner gas hot plates. There are high quality European appliances including an integrated microwave and a state-of-the art dishwasher. There is a very large island bench with own power, period tapware, enormous fridge recess & ample storage. The meditative outlook, via the bank of picture windows of the water fountain & side garden, may prove distracting, especially when the local birdlife come to visit.
All the segregated bedrooms have space & storage, the secondary ones served by an updated Art Deco-styled bathroom with deep bathtub. The main bedroom is a veritable suite-in-itself - expansive, harnessing the morning sunlight, & with beautiful vistas of the back garden; the two sets of double French doors leading to the expansive spotted gum timber deck is perfect for an early morning coffee or al fresco breakfast. A brand new, hotel-quality ensuite & dressing room complements this area well.
Secluded front & rear gardens with high hedging, abundant mature trees & shrubs, including a grove of silver birch, are characterised by verdant lawns, extensive brick paving & second water feature. The hidden garden shed with clothes drying area is another boon. This private oasis really is a mini utopia a welcome escape from the trials & tribulations outside of it.
