Stepping through the leadlight front door, you d be forgiven for thinking you d stepped into a beautifully restored turn of the century home with traditional wide Jarrah polished floorboards, high decorative ceilings and arches across the hallway inviting you in. A bright and spacious formal lounge sits to the right, enjoying abundant natural light from plentiful windows, highlighted further by the cream paintwork, warm golden window treatments and brass chandelier and curtain rods. Across the hall sits a complementary formal dining area, with plush neutral carpet and a built in black marble servery and bar complete with storage and sink. Both formal living areas feature 18th Century French marble fireplaces. This fabulous entertaining space also benefits from the same gorgeous windows and French doors opening to the alfresco entertaining deck.
Beyond the hallway (also accessible from both the formal lounge) you ll find an area enjoying a more contemporary appeal an open plan kitchen / dining area with sleek, clean lines, large natural stone floor tiles and modern white gloss cabinetry. The spacious kitchen has undergone a complete transformation, with white stone benchtops, marbled white tile splashbacks, plenty of storage and soft-close drawers plus quality appliances to appease the most avid chef and entertainer, all in brand new condition. The continuation of the custom windows throughout this area carries on the natural flow from the front of the home, blending effortlessly despite the contrast in style.
To the right of the entrance is a fabulous and private master suite with a domed decorative ceiling, walk-in robe and European style ensuite. There is also a light filled study, under-stair storage and a powder room off the hallway providing convenient access for guests from the living areas. The accommodation is extremely flexible while the downstairs suite offers great separation, it would also make a fabulous guest suite (or home office if required), as upstairs offers a second master suite, ideal for those with younger children.
As well as the second master suite with walk in robe, ensuite and large timber decked balcony overlooking the rear garden, upstairs also boasts a further three bedrooms with built in robes, one with its own ensuite, plus a spacious family sitting room or games room and family bathroom with large corner spa bath. Most of the upstairs rooms enjoy wonderful leafy green outlooks to either the front or rear gardens.
Additional features include;
Indoor/ outdoor 20m heated swimming lap pool for year-round exercise and enjoyment.
Fantastic modern features such as underfloor heating, European style central heating, ducted air conditioning in the upper level and dining area plus split systems in the downstairs master and kitchen, ducted vacuum system, intercom, security system and bore-reticulated gardens.
