On an attractively landscaped block of about 495 square metres, the house has entry under a porch to a hallway with bulkhead and the same stunning oak floorboards as laid all through, including bedrooms.
Against warm-white wall paint and with windows dressed in lovely sheers and roller blinds, plus numerous subtle skylights and square-set cornices, the feel of light and elegance stands out.
Double doors on the hallway’s right open to a study, while the main bedroom is opposite. This has a cherry-red accent wall, a fitted dressing room and a fully porcelain-tiled en suite with dual bowl-basins atop stone, plus an enclosed two-way toilet which forms part of a powder room arrangement along the entry way.
The second fitted bedroom, off the living hub, has a glass slider to a narrow side deck edged with tropical plants.
The remaining two, with walk-in robes and plantation shutters, are down a rear hallway they share with a separate toilet, walk-in linen closet and fully tiled dual-basin main bathroom.
The spacious living hub, with gas log fire, incorporates a swank kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a stone-topped island bench for at least five, cherry-red glass splashback, lots of pot drawers, an Asko dishwasher and a chic Savoix-Faire 900mm cooker.
Glass double sliders open from the hub to a big covered deck, with a concrete patio to the side.
The narrow backyard has a lawn space, hedging and magnolias along the back fence and a Japanese maple as a feature plant. A good-sized garden shed is tucked in a corner.
This desirable property also has ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, numerous ceiling fans, a 5kW solar system and a double garage with internal access to a large, storage-rich laundry.
