Edwardian charms have been completely re-built and elegantly extended to present a timeless al fresco flow that celebrates the sunny joys of the northern orientation of this uplifting, 3 bedroom, family-sized residence. Certain to attract admiration, this visually impressive home has been fully renovated with a keen eye for sustainability and energy efficiency.
An inspired, architect-designed, extension sees an open-plan kitchen / meals / living utilise towering vaulted ceilings and stunning north-facing windows to dramatic effect in creating a symphony of light and space. Equally dramatic, the kitchen contrasts volumes of white cabinetry with a timber-topped island bench, European appliances and striking black overhead cabinetry to provide a space that is both functional and attractive; the perfect place to gather for breakfast or a glass of wine. Two sets of full-height, glass sliding doors open to a north-facing deck that enjoys the occasional shelter of an automated retractable awning, creating a space for year-round enjoyment that overlooks a deep and drought-tolerant backyard. As it features established fruit trees and irrigated veggie patches, this a particularly versatile family garden.
The master bedroom is serviced by an ensuite and built-in robes. Indeed, all bedrooms have built-in robes in the thoughtful re-build of this classical home with polished hardwood floors, European hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, a full-sized laundry and the highly-coveted prize of front parking. Additional features in this fully re-stumped, re-wired, re-plumbed and re-plastered home include incredible insulation (including sub-floor) and double-glazed windows throughout. Every detail has been considered.
