Comfortably perched on a massive 837sqm (approx.) block between the stunning Masons Gardens and College Park fields, this fully-renovated 5 bedroom 4 bathroom two-storey haven of enchanting comfort will keep you and your loved ones content for many years to come.
Soaring high ceilings, solid wooden Blackbutt floorboards, tall feature skirting boards and decorative cornices are commonplace throughout this sublime residence that features a welcoming open formal lounge and dining room downstairs – huge in its proportions and warmed by a feature gas fireplace for those chilly winter months. Double doors separate this part of the floor plan from a lovely front verandah looking out to the garden, as well as the entry hallway where a spacious fourth bedroom – or potential home office – can be found, complete with ample shelving and access through to a fully-tiled semi-ensuite comprising of an open shower, toilet and a stylish vanity just like the rest of the bathrooms.
Most of your casual time will be spent absorbing the relaxing ambience of an exquisite open-plan family, meals and kitchen area that is expansive in size and, before seamlessly spilling outdoors, plays host to a walk-in pantry/scullery, beautiful Hamptons-style cabinetry, a breakfast bar for quick bites, double sinks, a microwave nook, a hidden hot and cold-water “Zip” tap (with a new filter), a Schweigen range hood and integrated Miele five-burner gas-cooktop, oven, steamer, warming-plate and dishwasher appliances. Curved stone steps and graceful ornate iron gates are the main features of a picturesque – and professionally-landscaped – rear garden where soft, silvery foliage and pretty blue and mauve blooms meet lush green backyard lawns, a separate lined alfresco-entertaining area and an elevated, sparkling solar-heated chlorinated swimming pool that overlooks it all.
A massive upstairs sitting room-come-retreat looks down to the pool and yard, with folding doors revealing a fifth or “guest” bedroom that can also be utilised as another living space with built-in robes/storage and a private tree-lined balcony, directly opposite the main semi-ensuite bathroom, shared by a large third bedroom with its own walk-in robe. Separate from a commodious second bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, a giant master suite boasts another fitted walk-in robe, alongside a separate bathtub within its ensuite and double doors front leading out to a full-width front balcony with treetop views towards Masons Gardens.
