Offered for the first time in 50 years, this substantial residence occupies 923sqm (approx.) behind a private leafy frontage and showcases bright airy interiors on the one level with two custom renovations maintaining modern style and endless family appeal. The home is highlighted by extensive Italian marble finishes, a professional chef's kitchen featuring restaurant-quality appliances and a sunny northeast courtyard area and rear garden including a covered terrace with handmade wood burning pizza oven imported from Italy plus a swimming pool together providing the perfect environment for family life and entertaining. There are two living areas, with the main lounge/dining space opening outdoors and including one with underfloor heating, along with up to five bedrooms, an oversized master ensuite, a full main bathroom with separate shower and bath, and a sizeable internal laundry with additional powder room. The accommodation is refreshingly versatile and provides the option to use one of the bedrooms as a study, hobby/play room or work-from-home space. High ceilings, a fresh neutral palette, the exquisite marble tiling and warm timber floors enhance the overall feeling of space and flow throughout, while generous paving to the outdoor areas promotes an easycare aesthetic. Perfectly comfortable now and requiring no necessary work, the home also provides an opportunity to personalise, further enhance the rear garden and entertainment area and potentially extend up (STCA). A double carport and additional driveway parking completes this desirable lifestyle address.
