Gracious character and contemporary flair in tightly held location …
With an eye for art and design, the current owners have executed a stylish renovation that perfectly blends original features with contemporary flair, transforming this character-laden Kentish Gable Tudor into a sensational home for the modern family.
Privately positioned with a deep north facing rear in a quiet street lined with Jacaranda, the gracious freestone frontage framed by clipped hedges incorporates a welcoming portico, deep veranda, charming bay window and superb art deco leadlight, the design of which is echoed in the custom made front gates.
Stepping inside one is struck by a sense of light and space with the eye drawn upwards to exceptional decorative ceilings. Jarrah floorboards stretch from the entrance hall into versatile linked reception rooms currently disposed as a chic formal lounge with fireplace, and study with built-in cabinetry.
The large primary bedroom includes a bank of built-in robes and bay window, with a bathroom adjacent. Upstairs forms the perfect kids zone with two further bedrooms, a powder room, living retreat and study nook.

Cleverly designed under-stair storage is both stylish and practical.
Neatly concealed is a newly renovated laundry with space for a second fridge, and family bathroom with feature mosaic marble tiled wall, freestanding bath and striking black fixtures and fittings.
Outside is an oasis for family and friends to enjoy. A wide north facing entertaining deck steps down to the solar heated pool, lawn, and established garden that includes an abundance of fruit and citrus trees, vegetable garden and even a chicken coop.
Nestled behind the pool, a highly versatile studio/workshop or outdoor kids retreat, which could be utilized as a separate home office.
