With its classic white weatherboard and brick exterior and lush established gardens, this home is an immaculate example of a grand lady tastefully and respectfully modernised, while still retaining an authentic essence and appeal. The Central Avenues are a location prized for their character homes, proximity to excellent schools, amenities, the CBD and, priceless water views. Nestled on a gentle slope, with expansive views out towards the inner harbour, the stylish granite kitchen with spacious scullery and dedicated drinks station is brightly lit by the large skylight above. A central open dining area flows to an elegant lounge with large picture windows framing the view, or out to a sun soaked deck overlooking a fabulous pool area with trickling water feature, an outdoor fireplace and onto an established potager garden replete with fruit trees and raised vegetable plots. A bonus is the grassy section large enough for children and pets to play, or there is the option to subdivide and reap the rewards. Three large bedrooms have retained their original charm with one currently used as an office with bespoke bookshelves carefully housing a tilt-away bed perfect for occasional guests. The family bathroom across the hall is generously sized and complete with a deep claw foot bath, extensive custom designed storage and adjacent chic powder room. At the end of the long hall, step up to the peaceful haven of the private master suite opening out to a private sheltered courtyard, soothed by the serenity of gently flowing water. A second lounge is warmed with a log gas fire keeping it snug and cosy and opening to a harbour facing deck with more water views. Skylights have been thoughtfully placed to maximize natural light, while decorative lead light windows and other character features have been retained to enhance the natural beauty of this inviting family home. Located in the heart of a highly sought after neighborhood, don't miss this opportunity to secure a superb lifestyle just in time for summer!
