Beyond its timelessly elegant façade and wide return verandah that invites you outdoors to relax and enjoy the flourishing gardens lies an exceptional home where classic character blends effortlessly with modern comfort. High ceilings, wainscot panelling, eye-catching oak floors and abundant light enhance the spacious lounge room, featuring a gas log fire and French doors to the side verandah. Alongside, a versatile home office/music room also enjoys external access.

The oversized dining room, warmed by a gas log fire and framed by a charming box bay window seat, creates a wonderful setting for family dinners and entertaining guests. The sophisticated kitchen boasts a stone island, elegant shaker cabinetry, premium Smeg appliances including a gas cooker, a second wall oven, built-in microwave, porcelain farmhouse sinks and a butler’s pantry/laundry.

The indulgent main suite is complemented by an impressive walk-in dressing room beneath a designer chandelier, flowing through to a luxurious ensuite where a second chandelier, twin-basin vanity and a walk-in rain shower create a private sanctuary. A library overlooking the front garden creates an inviting place for readers, professionals or creatives, while easily serving as a fifth bedroom when needed. Three additional bedrooms share the modern family bathroom with a clawfoot tub, walk-in rain shower and a chandelier for a touch of everyday luxe.

A rear verandah provides an enjoyable spot for a coffee or bite to eat, overlooking the solar-heated pool and established garden, and a substantial pavilion with a cosy woodfire, fridge and surround-sound speakers for year-round entertaining. Finishing touches include a video doorbell, ducted heating and vacuum, 10ft ceilings, evaporative cooling, plantation shutters, large attic storage with a pull-down ladder, and a double garage with workshop and extensive storage.
