There are renovations and then there are complete transformations, just like the one here at 14 Stanton Tce North Ward. Under the watchful eyes of current owners Bob and Del who are no strangers to high-end inner-city renovations, what they have created here along with their builder, Paul Schafer, is nothing short of spectacular. Blending classic Queenslander and sleek, modern contemporary design coupled with high-end finishes, the integrity of this home has been upheld with the end product offering something very special for the most discerning home buyers. With so much wow factor on offer, like this amazing upstairs living space that connects beautifully with the remarkable outdoor entertaining zone, it is no wonder the home picked up the gong from the QLD Master Builders for best renovation project. The clever use of louvres and glass allows natural light to flood the interiors on both levels, and the seamless external blinds give you full control over just how much light you decide to let in. Special consideration has been given to the home's surroundings again with the clever use of glass allowing the stunning granite of Castle Hill to be viewed in several areas from inside the home, creating quite the dramatic background, especially in the main bathroom. This is one stunning property and with the current owners making a downsize, the time has come to farewell their renovation masterpiece.
