This is a home that stands out from the crowd. In true French provincial style this home oozes luxury, grandeur and demonstrates an array of lavish features and intricate finishes which replicate the same feel as a stately home, yet perfectly scaled for a young family. Upon entry, the home immediately takes your breath away with ornate features such as wide cornice, architraves, pillars, ceiling roses and chandelier feature lights, coupled with polished marble-inspired tiles. The gourmet kitchen is a stand-out feature with ornate cabinetry and state-of-the-art Quartzsite benchtops. The main living area and kitchen are surrounded by an array of windows overlooking the incredible formal gardens, and the built-in bar is yet another of the impressive elements of the home. Boasting five bedrooms and multiple living there is plenty of room for the larger family. The high ceilings, bay windows and open plan configuration of the home creates spaciousness and abundance of natural light giving the sensation of the outside pouring in. The surrounding established formal gardens are beautifully manicured and provide for the ultimate aspect from the main living area and outdoor alfresco.
