The property has the potential to include a home business, additional sheds or currently with an approved two-lot subdivision planning permit.
The opportunity to purchase the adjoining allotment is 1,311m2 available at a additional cost. A circular driveway framed by ornamental pear trees winds through the lush landscaped grounds, setting the tone for this exceptional home. Formal garden beds featuring tall palms and conifers, along with clipped hedges and vibrant shrubbery, greet you at the columned entry.
The timeless residence combines style, functionality, and quality. It is a sanctuary filled with natural light, showcasing a total renovation where fresh white interiors and timber accents create a coastal vibe. Higher ceilings enhance the sense of space, complemented by new timber floors that create a sense of grandeur in the entry foyer.
The ground-floor layout is practical and stylish, with natural light filtering through bay windows in the home office and formal lounge, which connect to the formal dining room.
Perfect for entertainers, the chef's kitchen includes premium Bosch appliances, marble-topped benches, ample soft-close cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with a servery window to the alfresco area.
