Taking pride of place on an expansive elevated corner allotment, this post-war character home has been beautifully renovated to create modern family spaces in a lush private setting. Retaining a traditional facade of gabled rooflines, front verandah and white picket fencing, the home's interior will immediately welcome with its warm hardwood floors and superb north-facing living spaces. Enhanced by 2.7-metre-high ceilings throughout, the family-friendly floorplan encompasses vast open concept kitchen, dining and lounge, flowing to a choice of supremely private alfresco entertaining areas. To the north, a stunning palm-fringed swimming pool boasts the luxury of solar heating; while to the rear, a large breezy deck offers the perfect all-weather outdoor space with clear cafe-style blinds for those cosy winter gatherings. Back inside, the air-conditioned home's five bedrooms have been thoughtfully positioned in a separate "wing". The master enjoys its own ensuite, while one of the largest bedrooms would also be ideal as an additional living/rumpus space with access onto a secure verandah. Surrounded by huge fully fenced lawns that kids will love, this prized North Carina address is situated in a peaceful 'Res A' zoned street (free from townhouse/unit developments). Walk to bus stops, Seven Hills Bushland Reserve and the Stanley Road shopping village (with bakery, butcher, gourmet supermarket and coffee house). Also walking distance to a choice of excellent pre-school, primary and secondary schools including St Martin's Primary and San Sisto College, it enjoys outstanding proximity to the Clem Jones swim/fitness centre, Camp Hill Marketplace, Westfield Carindale and the CBD via arterial roads. -Stunning contemporary kitchen with stone benchtops, sleek white soft-close cabinetry and European appliances including gas cooktop and dishwasher -Two spotless modern bathrooms -Reverse cycle air-conditioning; ceiling fans and; Crimsafe-style screening to capture breezes -Fresh timeless colour palette; high ceilings; LED lighting; plenty of internal storage -Large solar heated saltwater swimming pool with decked poolside lounge area -Alfresco entertaining deck (enclosable); huge level secure grassed yard; sunny private patio area -Huge 5x5 metre powered shed with side access, ideal as trade workshop or storage of jet-ski, bikes, small boat -Double remote carport; enclosed and secure with dry access into the home
