Embracing a sensational location directly abutting recreational parkland, this classic c1940's brick residence has been brilliantly renovated and extended to create a spectacular contemporary family domain that fully embraces the beautiful north-facing park side backdrop. Idyllically set behind a high walled landscaped garden with pond, the evocative original etched glass front door reveals timber floors throughout in the entrance hall, inviting living room with an open fire and a spacious dining domain or retreat. A convenient home office alcove features a built-in desk. Dramatically finished with black stone and marble, the premium kitchen is appointed with a 90cm AEG oven, Gaggenau induction hotplates, built-in Miele appliances including microwave and coffee maker, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and bar fridge, opening to a decked side courtyard and bluestone paved terrace overlooking the park. Soaring vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows accentuate the sense of space and light in the breathtaking open plan family room with hardwood floors underfoot and a roaring open fire. Huge double-glazed glass sliders extend the living out to a wide north-facing undercover deck overlooking the private north-facing garden and the leafy parkland beyond. Overlooking the garden and pond, the gorgeous main bedroom with designer ensuite and built-in robe is accompanied by two additional double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom.
