Built to command the admiration of passers-by, this heart-stealingly pretty bungalow on a 825sqm (approx.) corner block has once again stepped into the limelight - this time as one of the crispest and most seamless renovations you are ever likely to see. Fact is nowhere in its hundred-year history was it as impressive as it is now; with side and rear additions matched brick for brick, leadlight for leadlight, floorboard for floorboard, ceiling motif for ceiling motif, to keep you guessing what's old and what's new.
Expect meticulous attention to detail but also incredible warmth, together with all the space, flexibility and entertaining options demanded of the modern family home. Beyond electric gates with secure video intercom, your extended footprint gives you the two spacious living areas, four double bedrooms and two luxe bathrooms you crave plus a whole lot more!
There's the 5m x 4m cellar with easy-to-access staircase - perfect for that wine collection, home gym, or as an extra space to park the kids. There's the terrazzo entertaining terrace under the main roof - party-ready with its pizza oven and bifolds for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. And then, there's the massive workshop out the back - nirvana for the car enthusiast, complete with 3-phase power, built in air compressor, ducted air conditioning, gas heater, ensuite bathroom and adjoining carport.
And yet, the real talent of this home lies in its masterful use of the recycled, reclaimed and artisan-replicated to flavour the new. Take the butcher's blocks of Angaston marble, (no longer quarried), the island of the Jarrah kitchen. Elsewhere, beautiful imported Carrara is a near match, while gorgeous tumbled travertine is a highlight of the family bathroom - an island of contemporary luxury with its spa bath and rain shower. But, if it's romance you're looking for, head to the master suite for a long hot soak in the clawfoot bathtub, light the fire or drift outdoors to your own private patio - one of many sheltered escapes surrounding a beautiful home that is yours to own at well below replacement cost.
And it all sits so conveniently on the doorstep of Allenby Gardens Reserve with its tennis courts, playgrounds and perfectly manicured cricket pitch; Drakes Foodland only a few steps away, Welland Plaza Shopping Centre, buses and schools including Allenby Gardens Primary and St Michael's College.
