Situated in the family friendly heart of tightly held Gilberton, this captivating family home with a north facing rear and pool offers the perfect blend of enchanting heritage features and sophisticated contemporary flair.
Its symmetrical sandstone façade is an outstanding example of its c.1880 era, with a gently elevated eyelash veranda enhanced by stunning cast iron lace work.
The wide central passage introduces delightful period details including lofty ceilings, Baltic floorboards and a decorative arch.
Four beautifully proportioned rooms all with original fireplaces and plantation shutters allow for versatile configuration, and are currently disposed as a chic formal lounge with a superb ceiling rose, and 3 bedrooms including 2 with built-in robes.
A glass door links the original floorplan to a modern extension including a new primary suite with walk-in robe and large ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, double shower, tub, heated towel rail and floor.
A second bathroom also includes under-floor heating, with its design echoed in the adjacent powder room and well-equipped laundry.
To the rear, northerly light floods the spacious open plan living and meals extension with combustion wood fire, that incorporates a fabulous entertainer’s kitchen with sleek cabinetry, stone countertops and European appliances.
A bank of full-length picture windows open through sliders to an outdoor oasis that includes several spaces to dine or lounge, a large lawn on which to play, garden sheds and even a chicken run.
At centre stage, a near new state of the art fully tiled heated pool and spa, with a fresh water filtration system, in-built cleaning system and lights for nighttime entertaining.
