Enormously rich with character and set deeply among two-thirds of an acre (2692m2) approx of enchanting botanical gardens, this solid four-bedroom residence embraces old English grandeur inside and out with mood-filled living space and sash windows providing stunning tranquil outlooks. Surrounded by giant cypress hedges and with tall iron gates opening to a sweeping driveway, bluestone steps lead up to a long verandah where you can soak up the garden setting at its best, while warm and inviting living and entertaining space and granite counters and vanities are a showpiece of quality inside. An L-shaped entertaining lounge and dining room features a drinks bar and a giant curved window to view the gardens, a family room has a door leading out to a paved alfresco courtyard, while an adjoining kitchen has a new gas stove and granite benchtops and splashbacks. Providing wonderful inspiration for the handy home renovator with fabulous scope to enhance, extend or modernise, the accommodation wing includes four bedrooms all with built-in robes, including the master with walk-in robe and ensuite, while the study could be used to build a staircase to a future second storey with potential views across the peninsula hinterland (STCA). Other features include ducted heating, reverse cycle airconditioning, a water tank and a rear 7.3 x 7.1m garage or work shed with height for your boat, caravan or trade vehicles.
