A formal loungeroom with a working fireplace sits opposite the fourth bedroom and can be completely shut off from the hallway for convenience and privacy. The fireplace has been updated to an enclosed gas log fire but retains an incredible timber surround with original embellishments for a romantic atmosphere. The loungeroom also boasts built-in cupboards / library on either side of the fireplace, a ceiling fan with a rosette ceiling feature and a side window that lets in lots of natural light. High ceilings make the room feel spacious and inviting.
The loungeroom accesses the home's magnificent kitchen. This space is a dream come true for any chef or wine enthusiast. The enormous traditionally shaped kitchen offers solid Jarrah timber cabinetry and cream tiles that extend all the way around. A 90cm gas cooktop and stainless-steel oven sit to one side of a centre island with a built-in wine store and opposite a floor to ceiling pantry.

Everything from the charming period electrical switches and light fittings to the cabinet handles are alluring. Double French doors access the pergola for easy alfresco dining.
An open plan dining room with a carpeted family room sits at the rear of the home. It offers dual bifold glass and timber doors that reveal an incredible outdoor space. The dining area features white timber built-in cabinets and is comforted by the large reverse cycle air-conditioner sitting between the relaxed family room and sophisticated dining room.
