Among one of the suburb’s most beloved streets with wide nature strips and long-standing trees, the home’s endlessly endearing façade reveals an interior where character is harnessed in a flawless family revamp. Four storage-rich bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms span a pair of sunlit storeys, while a substantial upper retreat joins a relaxing lower lounge in offering welcomed flexibility. With high ceilings continued throughout a first-class extension, bi-fold doors merge an open living/dining domain with an entertainer’s pergola and barbecue deck, together brilliant for large family gatherings with a backdrop of blue skies and lush greenery. The enthusiastic cook is sure to feel at home in a gourmet, wrap-around kitchen, with stone benches joined by a Neff induction cooktop and a pairing of two ovens and a dishwasher from Miele.
