Your storybook lifestyle begins behind a charming picket fence with gates, framed by serene rose gardens and manicured lawns. A wrap-around deck complements the irresistible showcasing of sash windows boasting charming shutters and a classic white-on-white exterior that completes the look.
A private entry greets you into the home where you'll immediately feel at ease, with features that evoke a sense of homeliness. Promising to have you captivated at first sight, the interior offers a combination of high ceilings, decorative cornices, wainscoting, polished boards and picture rails, in addition to tongue and groove timber walls in the original section of the home.
A series of inspiring spaces begins in the fireside lounge where French doors open up to the exterior. Furthermore, cosying up by the original open fireplace is a favourite pastime here. Large windows encourage light to sweep through the interior, with every room enjoying unhindered views to the garden.
Where the residence truly excels is in the sumptuous extension, which has been thoughtfully designed to not only mirror the home's attractive period features but also affords the family an unbelievably large open-plan living room to relax and entertain. Two sets of glass sliding doors open out to the wrap-around decking where private and picturesque views over the property offer the most incredible backdrop for entertaining.
Back inside, the modern kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful, equipped with stainless steel appliances; electric oven, gas stove and dishwasher, eye-catching cabinetry, granite benchtops, generous storage and prep space, breakfast bar and tiled backsplash.

Bedroom three is also fitted with ample storage cupboards and allows direct access to the deck. The luxurious main bathroom is huge, featuring a large shower and decadent spa adding to the retreat feel.
