Prepare yourself to be surprised the moment you venture beyond the landscaped front gardens, set foot on the polished timber floorboards and take a peek inside. What you'll discover is a home full of surprises; a family residence on a private acre (approx.) haven that seemingly grows in space every time you pass a corner! A true entertainer's playground, this remarkable home has been stylishly renovated to successfully blend its old world grace and charm with the very best in modern living. A timeless warmth is evoked every time you settle down to dine or unwind in the formal dining and sunken formal lounge, where a breathtaking Bay window frames a pictuesque outlook whilst filtering abundant nautral light into the setting. The adjacent positioning of the character-filled rumpus (with a wood combustion fireplace, timber parquetry floors and large bar) and glamorous Master bedroom (with hidden walk-in robes and ensuite with spa bath, stone vanity and frameless shower) creates an intimate 'parents zone' or practical solution for your mulit-generational living requirements, while a dedicated accommodation wing featuring a second Master bedroom (with renovated ensuite and walk-in robes), two additional bedrooms and a fully-tiled family bathroom styled with a frameless walk-in shower and freestanding soaker bath promotes peaceful and private family living. The lavish nature of the stunning open-plan setting is sure to please, from its vast sense of open space and presence of a five-star gourmet kitchen (stone island bench, glass splashback, Lofra 900mm stainless steel cooker and plenty of storage) to its seamless integration with a superb wraparound deck with views across the swimming pool area (with spa) below and sprawling backyard (with cubby house and play equipment) in the distance. A poolside alfresco downstairs provides further space to entertain, and with a rotisserie/BBQ area and sizeable kitchenette/meals with wine cellar tucked behind solid timber doors, it's easy to think you're entertaining somewhere along the Mediterranean, not minutes away from the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink, Whitefriars College, Westfield Shoppingtown and transportation. This feature-packed home also boasts a large study, security alarm, split-system cooling, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, poolside retreat with its own entrance, irrigated gardens, four-car garage, large shed and generous off-street parking for guests, boat, caravan or a tradesman's trailer.
