An exquisite marriage of Edwardian romance and contemporary architectural ambition, this extraordinary four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence has been transformed by a masterful renovation and extension. Behind its enchanting facade, luminous interiors, sumptuous finishes and magnificent family spaces open to a glorious northeast-facing garden devoted to poolside entertaining.A white picket fence beneath sculpted hedging introduces white roses and fragrant jasmine, framing a broad veranda with a private outlook across the greenery. A decorative glass door reveals a gracious hallway, where ornate ceiling roses, intricate cornices and an archway honour the homes origins, while high-set glazing casts ribbons of sunlight across wide oak floors.At the hallways end, the home opens to a breathtaking expanse of living, dining and kitchen space, where pale oak and crisp white surfaces meet richly textured brickwork. Beneath a procession of skylights, the monumental stone-topped waterfall island commands attention, complemented by Bosch and Miele appliances, streamlined cabinetry, a superbly fitted walk-in pantry and an integrated study nook.In the living area, a soaring column of exposed brick houses the fireplace, flanked by bespoke joinery and floating timber shelves. The dining space looks towards the garden, while expanses of glazing invite the northeasterly light inside and broad sliding doors open to the covered entertaining deck.The exposed brick continues outdoors, lending warmth to a spectacular alfresco kitchen with built-in BeefEater barbecue. Alongside, the shimmering blue of the pool brings a captivating sense of summer, while a sweep of lawn and established trees softens the setting. A Kamado Joe charcoal grill occupies its own brick enclosure in a leafy corner.On the ground floor, the lavishly proportioned main bedroom features a dressing room lined with bespoke timber cabinetry and a sumptuous ensuite with a floating timber vanity and oversized shower. A second bedroom overlooks the front garden, serviced by a beautifully appointed bathroom. An oak staircase rises to a light-filled upper retreat beneath raked ceilings. Two generous bedrooms offer extensive wardrobes and ceiling fans, sharing a luxurious family bathroom.Plantation shutters, a storage-rich laundry with external access, split-system climate control, integrated indoor-outdoor speakers, outdoor storage and off-street parking complete the offering.
