Find bespoke beauty in this blue-chip location! In this leafiest and loveliest of school-district village streets, "Amherst" is a gracious five bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Federation-style home with a thoroughly modern family plan rich in craftsman quality; from deep red Spotted Gum floors, to lofty decorative corniced ceilings and tall skirtings with fabulous fretwork inside and out.

Oriented to the sun with a northerly aspect with expansive formal and family zones, the home steps up to an attic-style first-floor (with kids' lounge, fitted study and fifth bedroom)...and out to lushly landscaped gardens with a perfectly scaled entertainers BBQ kitchen and vine-draped dining area beside a charming "entertainers' cottage". Cleverly zoned with a gorgeous garden-access ground-floor master-suite tucked away to the rear, the home is beautifully crafted with granite extending to splashbacks for the Siemens appliance kitchen and recycled messmate benchtops and a freestanding bath for both the luxe bathroom and ensuite.

Centrally heated, reverse-cycle air-conditioned and alarmed, the home's amazing attention to detail even extend to eco-friendly extras - with 5kw solar panels, 8000L water-storage and above specification insulation. Set in a garden paradise with additional north-facing decking and a double car garage with additional workshop area. This is Federation inspired family living in an inspiring beachside location; close to all the schools, blocks to the bay and a stroll to the station and village.
