The Complete Package - Built in circa 1915, this stylishly renovated return veranda villa sits on nearly 650sqm in the sought after coastal strip of Semaphore South. With nothing left to do but move in, this stunning home offers the perfect blend of character and modern improvements.
Boasting three large bedrooms all with ornate decorative fireplaces, polished timber floorboards and lofty ceilings, the second has custom built robes and all three are fitted with split system reverse cycle air conditioners for year round comfort.
The formal lounge room provides a cosy and inviting space ideal for entertaining guests and features yet another fireplace, gorgeous chandelier light fitting and original floorboards. These original four rooms have all had new cornices and gyprock walls installed, leaving nothing for the new owners to do but enjoy.
The rear extension has a wonderful modern feel with continued high ceilings, down lights and solid timber floors. Open plan and offering a separate dining area and family room, it also includes the well-appointed kitchen. With Caesar stone bench tops, 2-pac white cabinets, a glass splash back and quality appliances including a Miele dishwasher, canopy range hood, 5-burner gas hot plates and electric oven. Underfloor heating has been installed for a little luxury in the colder months as well as a r/c split system used for cooling or heating when required.
The family bathroom offers an inviting spa bath, large shower alcove with glass screen and rain shower rose, vanity and toilet. A second toilet is separate to this, as well as a combined euro-style laundry, incorporating trough and handy shelving. The instant gas hot water system has a convenient temperature control panel located in the bathroom making for a perfect shower.
The house is guaranteed to impress but what is beyond the cafe doors of the family room is sure to tick off any remaining attributes that you require. If entertaining is your style, then the undercover deck with motorised cafe blinds, traditional-style domed pizza oven, built-in BBQ and tiled splash back will allow for all manner of alfresco cooking and dining sessions.
Overlooking a pristine lap-pool that is solar heated, salt-water chlorinated and fenced with glass, keeping cool in summer will be easy in your own backyard. A manicured lawn provides a lovely private space for the children to play with an established hibiscus hedge at the rear, completing this tropical oasis.
Now for the garaging......drive down the street, press the remote and the auto timber screened gate will slide to reveal access to a huge 10m x 5m carport with pitched roof and auto panel lift door able to accommodate 4 cars. Need more? The rear corner of the block is home to every man's dream, a 6m x 9m garage with a height of 3 metres it can stow away a boat, trailers, all manner of toys and tools, work vans, you name it and it will probably fit! If that is not enough however, another 6m x 2.4m cellar provides additional storage under the garage.
