In an utterly blue chip position packed with history and surrounded by heritage dwellings,
this picture-perfect c1890 Victorian classic single-fronted cottage nestled on 355sq.m (approx.) is a flawless fusion of old-world charm and contemporary style. Original dimensions have been immeasurably enhanced and extended to offer a charming 2-level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom plus freestanding studio, family residence.
Beyond verdant hedging and gorgeous Bluestone facade with bullnose verandah that retain the grace of the era, a leadlight entry and deep arched hallway introduce beautifully presented interiors showcasing extra-high ceilings, ceiling roses and original Baltic Pine flooring flowing past two double bedrooms (BIRs) and tranquil formal lounge. Crowned by decorative cornices encasing a pressed metal ceiling, this elegant room glows with a gas flame fireplace, and is kept comfortable year-round by r/c air-conditioning.
The original footprint of the home ends here and steps down to a central lobby (with pet door & handy side access), Euro laundry, sleek family bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and w.c. and then into the heart of the home. With a focus on relaxed living and entertaining, the glorious sun-filled open plan living/dining domain presents a gourmet kitchen with impressive waterfall-edged breakfast bar, granite composite benchtops, dishwasher, generous 900mm s/steel gas oven, 5-burner cooktop, soft-closing cabinetry and walk-in pantry.
Flaunting seamless indoor-outdoor connections, the living zone is book-ended by glazed and tall French doors - the Eastern doors spill out to a paved courtyard featuring an electric 5-person chlorinated spa with shade-sail; while the Western side opens to an idyllic, pergola-protected, split-level alfresco deck with both sitting and dining areas framed by lush foliage and water feature.
A true master retreat enjoys upper level seclusion with pitched ceiling (5 x skylights), bedroom, sitting and desk areas, walk-in robe and luxe ensuite with stunning patterned tiled floor, twin vanities, large frameless glass shower & w.c.
Another stand-out addition is the separate studio (or home office/teenage retreat) accessed off the very secure and private rear paved courtyard.

� Double width carport
� Split system a/c in lounge, living domain, studio & master suite
� Floating Australian Oak floorboards in rear living zone
� Beautiful pendant lighting t/out
� Classic plantation shutters in front 3 rooms
