Step into an oasis of calm as the lucky new owner of this exquisite 4 bedroom villa, meticulously renovated and seamlessly extended for your living and entertaining pleasure.

The current owners of this fabulous character home wanted to maintain the integrity of the 1913 era, eschewing fad and fashion in favour of classic high quality finishes that will look as good in 100 years as they do today. The double brick additions are a perfect match to the old home; solid Baltic Pine floors, laid on strip foundations, have an authentic spring and super high ceilings maintain a beautiful airy flow.

Relax and be inspired by indoor and outdoor spaces that demand to be enjoyed. The main open plan living area is just the place for fun and parties, flowing out through three pairs of French doors to embrace a lush backyard oasis where mandarins are ripe for the picking, an emerald square of synthetic lawn is perfect for rough and tumble, and a stand of white cedars keeps everything cool in the height of summer.

In winter, the sun is allowed in to brighten and warm the huge living space, where family and friends will love to gather around the breakfast bar of the gorgeous gourmet kitchen, while you cook up a storm with commercial grade stainless steel appliances. Select the perfect wine match from your 700-bottle cellar below and enjoy handy direct access to the long carport at the side, with capacity for 4 cars and gated mid section, making the backyard completely safe for children and pets.

Wet areas family bathroom, separate toilet, laundry and master ensuite - follow a beautiful timeless aesthetic with marble-topped vanities, hand painted cabinetry, a cast iron bathtub and breathtaking floor tessellations providing more than a touch of everyday luxury.

In the original part of the home, the lounge with its impressive mansard ceiling and art nouveau fireplace offers a peaceful parent's retreat or second generous entertaining venue, while a huge carpeted loft space is the stuff of dreams for teens. More spectacular ceilings and pretty fireplaces are to be found in three further double bedrooms including the spacious master suite, a sanctuary for busy parents with its gorgeous ensuite and generous walk-in storage.
