with modern lifestyle requirements - solar power, RC/AC, ducted vacuuming, huge kitchen & fabulous alfresco entertaining.
Lovely landscaped front gardens welcome you to this very inviting, warm and extremely spacious family home. Upon entry, first impressions of the quality and excellent condition of this residence are set - a traditional long hallway with high ceilings, stunning architraves, cornices, carved woodwork and glorious open fireplaces complemented with original Baltic floor boards, neutral decor and large windows to bring in the natural light.
The custom renovations over 30 years undertaken by the current Owners have significantly upgraded, restored and maintained No. 17 yet kept the feel of a beautiful and gracious traditional family home and the floor plan is perfect for the larger sized family.
The Formal Living / Reception at the beginning of the feature hall is gracious, welcoming and comfortable with an open fireplace & combustion stove plus split system RC/AC. Large windows bring in the beauty of the front landscaped gardens and glimpses over the secure brush fence of the boulevard of trees that are the highlight of Harrow Road.
A generous and bright Master Bedroom with open fireplace and French Doors opening to the verandah is at the front of the home and set apart from the other sleeping accommodation. The floor plan currently gives the option to use Bedroom 2 as a dressing room / study as this interconnects with the Master, has its own fireplace and links to the full sized renovated ensuite. A rarity in similar homes of this era but outstandingly here, Bedrooms 3 & 4 also have open fireplaces, ceiling fans and original sash windows that capture the northern sunlight.
A powder room toward the end of the hallway is a bonus, maintaining privacy and efficiency for the larger family!

This huge area is overlooked by the large eat-in timber kitchen with ample cupboards, chef's oven and SS built-in appliances.
