Family Indulgence to Exceed All Expectations!

This magnificent Return-Style Verandah Villa (c1900) set on a corner allotment of 1456sqm (approx) in a glorious pool and garden setting is a family oasis of exceptional grace, space and style and presents with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, multiple living zones, study and freestanding rear 19th century outbuilding/barn conversion. This early century beauty pairs the finest classic design with every modern luxury, while the stunning bluestone and red brick period facade embraced by a picture-perfect timber detailed verandah with tessellated tiles, is unforgettable.

The property's grandly-proportioned interiors showcase classic elegance with soaring decorative ceilings and cornices, deep skirtings, ornate open fireplaces, leadlight windows, original timber doors and Baltic Pine flooring.

A gracious front formal lounge and expansive dining room flow off the wide entry hall - both feature beautiful windows, open fireplaces with mantels and offer impressive spaces to entertain. The original footprint of the home also accommodates the 4 bedrooms. Bedrooms 2 and 3 look onto the return verandah; the main suite features a walk-in robe and moody fully-tiled, skylit ensuite; while the fourth bedroom would be an ideal hobby/toy room. The glossy fully-tiled, skylit family bathroom boasts a double vanity, deep bath, walk-in shower and w.c.
An effortless transition from period splendour to the ultra-modern rear is stunningly achieved through exposed brick walls, slate and concrete flooring, high ceilings with Velux skylights, sparkling downlights and multi-paned windows framing leafy backdrops. The casual living exudes contemporary sophistication with its gas pebble fireplace and flows into a gourmet kitchen with volumes of deep grey cabinetry, stretches of black granite, luxurious island bench, integrated stainless steel Smeg dishwasher, Qasair rangehood, Miele convection and steam ovens.

A study/home office fitted with a desk and verdant back garden outlook, plus a generous, fully-fitted laundry with side verandah access and separate powder room, further adds to the family appeal.

Outside, the rear wrap-around verandah and decked, undercover entertaining area (with overhead fans) overlook the fully-fenced, salt-chlorinated pool which enjoys the full summer sun until late afternoon. A picturesque spot to dine alfresco, while kids relish the blissfully private North-West facing backyard with lawn area, basketball ring and artificially-turfed soccer pitch with net. The barn conversion (from the old dairy) hosts a workshop/multi-purpose storeroom with ample roof storage, and separate entrance studio with w.c. - currently an exercise room with shock-absorbing tiled flooring and WiFi access.
