Rarely does a home surprise you to the extent that this fully renovated character weatherboard will. Whilst it is a residence that has an inviting charm and strong curb appeal, there is nothing to indicate the full scope of what lies behind the attractive façade.
Upon entry your eyes will be drawn to the 3.1 metre ceilings and the stunning Tasmanian Oak floorboards that have been stained a matt black, creating a dramatic effect. The home naturally falls into two zones that can be closed off from each other for privacy, courtesy of well-placed doors. The first section is at the front of the abode; there is a spacious formal living area which boasts a decorative ceiling panel that feeds to intricate cornices. An open fireplace creates the perfect space to relax in with friends and family in the depths of winter. Three of the home's four bedrooms are also located in this section. Each has an abundance of cupboard space and the master offers a superb private ensuite with a wall hung vanity, mirrored cabinet and an oversized shower with storage nook.
The second section of the residence is guaranteed to take your breath away. Showcasing open plan living at its finest, the extensive area forms the hub of the home and allows family members to congregate whilst pursuing their own activities with more than ample space. A significant dining zone and a spacious family room with built-in shelving frame a stunning entertainer's kitchen. An expansive island bench with storage on all four sides forms the centrepiece of the kitchen; its deep, white floating stone bench top is a perfect contrast to light woodgrain cabinetry. A bank of cabinets along one wall house a well-placed study nook, two floor to ceiling pantries and an appliance cupboard. A stainless steel ASKO dishwasher, SMEG 5 burner cooktop and two under-bench ovens complete the package.
Adjacent to this area is a rumpus room which offers further living space and wonderful garden vistas. three sets of French doors open out to a generous undercover alfresco zone with a built-in BBQ that is connected to mains gas, cabinets and drawers, allowing a seamless flow between indoor/outdoor living. It is surrounded by a fabulous back yard boasting lush grass, red brick paving and edging, native gardens, a section of veggie patches and a bespoke putting green that offers hours of entertainment for all.
Back inside you will find the last of the four bedrooms; it is incredibly large and has floor to ceiling robes. It is serviced by an exquisite central bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles including textured feature tiles, a deep bathtub, spacious shower and a sizeable vanity with stone bench tops and pleasing storage.
Completing the home is a powder room, wide bank of storage cupboards and a well-equipped laundry with a built-in ironing board and clothes baskets, a drying cabinet and a hidden tumble dryer.
A long list of extras includes gas ducted heating, ducted refrigerated cooling, split system heating and air-conditioning, quality carpets and window furnishings, eye catching feature lighting, tandem carport with additional off street parking and internal access to the home, outdoor Luxaflex blinds, 3,000 litre water tank, a sandpit and a storage shed.
