Behind the façade of this classic return verandah villa, is one of Joslin’s finest character homes, brilliantly and imaginatively rejuvenated to create a sophisticated and stylish contemporary new home.
Original features have been painstakingly retained and refurbished, then blended beautifully with a cool modern design edge, to accommodate functional practicalities of today’s family living.
This home offers a readily adaptable and versatile floor plan. Four bedrooms, the main bedroom with decorative fire places, an enormous walk-in robe - parents retreat, sparkling en-suite with double shower heads and relaxing spa bath with its own heat pump. Bedrooms 2 & 3 feature their own decorative fire places and are serviced by the heritage style main bathroom. The 4th bedroom is a teenager’s dream, accessed down the 1.3m wide stairs and adjacent to the home theatre, it’s quietly zoned away from every-day family living.
A separate formal living area offers elegant and executive style entertaining, with marble surround gas open flame fireplace to radiate winter cheer.
At the rear is the hub of the home – the family, dining and kitchen area with brillian polished white concrete and bright sky lights illuminating from the 4.1m high ceilings, kept warm by its own gas open flame fire place, and north facing capturing the winter sun. Western red cedar doors frame the rear garden vista and provide access to the granite tiled verandah, where you will find the outdoor kitchen, totally undercover and ventilated by Louvre windows, stainless steel ceiling fan and range hood.
The chef’s kitchen features an ingenious mixture of stone surfaces combined with ultra sleek quality stainless steel appliances and high gloss 2-pac cupboards, adjacent to the ventilated Butler’s pantry with floor to ceiling cabinetry and shelving – an entertainers dream.
A ‘mud-room’ with its own separate external access is a perfect area to keep the family well organized on hectic weekdays and is located adjacent to the 3rd bathroom.
One of the many surprising features is the Attic room, easily accessed by the pull down stairs; it is an enormous space for storage and provides handy access to the household wiring and data cabling.
A seamless blend of old and new enhanced by clever combinations of textures and finishes, this immaculate home is an unusual find and will suit those who are looking for the warmth of character, yet with the facilities of a new home. Located within easy access to shopping, cafes and quality schools, this premium residence is a rare find and inspection is a must!
