As soon as you set foot on the property the care and effort that has been invested is evident. With an original iron palisade fence, sandstone footings, intact cast iron lace work and decorative mouldings around the windows all present extremely well.
Downstairs features a grand sitting room with bay windows, elaborate cornices and a marble fireplace. The formal dining also features a marble fireplace as well as a beautiful cedar staircase with decorative banister. Past the storage and a larder leads you into the kitchen which has back-lit cupboards, granite splash backs, and rolled edge granite bench tops set on solid timber doors. A large island bench, double sink, dishwasher and a stainless steel gourmet gas stove inset into the character brick chimney that was home to an original pot belly stove.
The massive family room and informal dining is suitable for a feasting hall and has access to a renovated bathroom with comforts including a corner spa. This area has dual access through glass doors onto a bull nose verandah or large covered patio and entertaining area. This recessed area is low maintenance and features a huge barbeque area.
Up the decorative staircase there are four ample sized bedrooms with timber inbuilt wardrobes and shelving. Character features and style throughout, including the fully renovated period bathroom that even features an elevated cedar toilet cistern. The main bedroom is impressive, with the same high ceilings as the other rooms plus dual built in robes either side of the marble fireplace and access to an enclosed sunroom and tidy study/office set against the large bay windows.
The roof space has been converted to be accessed by a spiral staircase and is used as a large 5th bedroom that is flooded with natural light and accesses onto several storage areas and a photography studio.
From the rear, landscaped gardens lead up to the original stables that were converted originally into an area used to work from home, and later a separate teenager's retreat. This out building has its own kitchen and bathroom and is well positioned overlooking the in-ground pool and second patio area.
With a wide driveway to the side of the property, and just 600 metres walk to local shops and train station, it is also very convenient to schools and park lands. Unique properties like this rarely enter the market. Call our office to arrange inspection today.
