The grand appeal of the home's exterior is a fitting introduction to it's interior, where columns, a palatial stair-case, & expansive living areas reveal the sheer size & grandeur of this magnificent home. Whilst grand in it's appearance, the home loses none of it's warmth & radiance afforded by abundant natural light, a plethora of separate & spacious living areas, & a functional & highly enticing floor plan ideal for growing families. Architectural highlights, quality window treatments & floor coverings including selected solid timber panel floors, & an array of creature comforts & finer finishes add both interest & exceptional year-round appeal.
A number of spacious downstairs living areas including separate formal lounge, formal dine, games room, 'kids retreat'/6th bedroom, family room, & a gorgeous sunlit bay window meals area offer an abundance of space for the busiest of families to live successfully & harmoniously; whilst the feature-staircase leads to a mansion-like upper mezzanine level leading to the remaining five bedrooms & main bathrooms. From the upper level, three separate balconies also emanate stately appeal, & can be easily accessed & enjoyed from the front bedrooms,
In addition to the numerous highlights found throughout the home, it would be remiss not to also acknowledge the clever design & appointment that makes this home an absolute 'entertainer's delight'. The current owners have successfully hosted groups of 50 & more on occasions courtesy of the spacious, free-flowing, & particularly well thought out floor plan, which during the warmer months takes on an even more enticing element afforded by generous undercover outdoor entertaining provisions, a 'traditional' size back yard perfect for Christmas Day backyard cricket, & a sparkling solar-heated in-ground pool complete with rockery/water feature, & near-new architectural-style glass panel perimeter fencing primed for summer pool parties.
