Meal time will be a pleasure in your contemporary, renovated kitchen. Featuring a match board ceiling, which complements the bamboo hardwood bench tops completely, there is also ample drawer and cupboard space plus pantry cupboard for the keen chef! Appliances include a Chef standalone gas oven and cook top, extractor fan, double sink and Everdue dishwasher. Wall tiling compliments the upgrade and there is an Akai reverse cycle split system.

The adjoining lounge room with striking ceiling rose and ceiling cornicing exudes that old world charm and the bonus of a slow combustion log fire in the original fire place, complete with ornate timber fire place surround. For those that prefer an effortless heating alternative there is a gas bayonet connection for gas heating.

The master bedroom offers four door floor to ceiling robes and beautiful feature lead light windows. The old world charm continues along the hallway and through to the two remaining bedrooms with original hardwood flooring flowing beautifully into each room, also both boast original fireplaces.

The light and bright family living room, primarily capturing the winter sun, and in the summer shaded by a beautiful glory vine, is very spacious with distant rural views.

The main bathroom also featuring a match board ceiling, offers two-tone federation tilting, shower, toilet and a two door, three drawer vanity. Perhaps a more enticing feature of the bathroom is the addition of the spa bath to really help wind down at the end of an arduous day.
