This has been cleverly landscaped, with sandstone walls, strategic planting and integrated seating so that the garden can be enjoyed year round.
The home's imposing front staircase leads to a wrap around deck with views of the city skyline. Stop and enjoy the serenity and cooling breezes before making your way through the front entrance with its subtle leadlight surrounds. The floors throughout are a mixture of travertine marble, plush wool carpet and polished floor boards. Off the entrance vestibule with its ornate arches, you will find the master bedroom with exquisite ensuite and walk-in robe and a second bedroom with built-in robes and a beautiful old fireplace with timber mantle. Continue through to the grand yet intimate library/music room - a perfect place to sit in front of the intricately tiled fireplace and enjoy a glass of wine or a hot chocolate.
The open plan lounge/dining room is light and airy with doors opening out to decks on both sides. One entire wall of the dining and kitchen areas opens out onto a spacious deck and BBQ area. The stunning, functional kitchen is the hub of the home. A large, central travertine island bench provides a great area for casual dining. A focal point is the intricate pressed metal ceiling hanging from which is a gorgeous French-style chandelier. The custom-made cupboards provide ample storage. Completing the picture are a Miele induction cook top, stainless steel appliances and the practicality of two separate sinks.
From the kitchen, you can enjoy an outlook to the garden, cubby house and pool.
Frameless glass fencing offers an unimpeded view of the stylish pool, with its sandstone wall, seating area and water feature.
Lighting ensures the pool and garden can be enjoyed day and night.
There are two additional bedrooms on this level, one with fireplace and lovely bay window. Both have built-in robes and share a large family bathroom with feature tiling and a separate toilet. The laundry with its practical washing tub and Corian bench also houses another shower and toilet.
Downstairs is a private, self-contained living area with large lounge/TV area opening out to a paved terrace. The bedroom offers the privacy of a walk-through robe to a gorgeous bathroom. The kitchenette is thoughtfully hidden behind a solid VJ sliding door.
Other features include plantation shutters, sound system wired throughout the home, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, feature lighting, custom-made joinery, security system and sensor lighting. There is a great vegetable garden and the landscaped surrounds are irrigated via a 30,000L underground tank.
There is also a large double garage, with mud room and ample under house storage.
The property is in the heart of Rosalie and offers a fantastic lifestyle.
Located just 2km from the CBD, yet in a quiet, residential area with Milton State School, Frew Park and Gregory Park at the end of the street.
This is truly a wonderful home, to be enjoyed now and for years to come.
