So much more than a freestanding single fronted Edwardian, this stunning 3 bedroom + study, 2 bathroom charmer is a lifestyle of fabulous family fun times and zoned escapes. Mixing a Scandinavian look with its Edwardian origins using a white palette with timber highlights, this architect designed surprise enjoys a long entry hall, 2 downstairs bedrooms (BIRs), a fresh bathroom, separate powder room, a sublime stone kitchen with farmhouse sink and Ilve, Miele and Qasair appliances; and contemporary open plan living & dining area with vaulted ceiling (LED lighting), custom cabinetry and a gas log fire opening onto a sun filled garden area. A retractable awning & screen provides shade for the back yard and living area. The rear deck covers a custom built freestanding sand pit. A vertical garden with watering system and LED Grow Lights to assist growth brings greenery and light in. Upstairs is the ideal parents' retreat with a study area including height adjustable desk, generous bedroom with 2 sets of BIRs, matching bathroom & powder room and massive attic storage. The big surprise is the amazing basement rumpus room with laundry. A cleverly concealed vent and solartube both aerate and bring natural light to the space from the roof. Laundry chutes on each upper level mean washing doesn't need to be carried down the stairs. The perfect kids' hangout, music studio or gym space. Flawless with its high end finishes, this stylish treasure is energy efficient featuring hydronic heating including heated towel rails, R/C air conditioning, security system, dining speakers, 2kw solar system, solar hot water with gas booster, a 5000 litre underground rainwater tank for garden and laundry. The automatic gate has both a car and pedestrian mode leading onto Leslie Street and bike storage on Prentice Street with both streets being no through roads. Over the road from Hewison Reserve and Playground, a heartbeat to Carlisle Street cafes, under 10 min walk to Balaclava station, Alma park and the tram with easy access to a selection of schools and the beach. And who doesn't want a pizza shop less than 100m away!
