When two worlds collide, the synergistic outcomes can be beautiful to behold. In this stunning character villa, all the architectural positives from yesteryear enjoy a seamless modern upgrade thanks to a thoughtful renovation. Dripping in character, this truly inspiring family villa is a rare opportunity, one that still offers room for further enhancement. Sitting on a valuable corner block of 514-square-metre, this circa-1900 character villa comes with its own inimitable sense of style. Tall trees provide shade and privacy, with a wide driveway leading past the tall brush fence and to an undercover double carport. But it's the quaint and charming façade of the home that'll grab your attention the most. Solid masonry brickwork is perfectly complemented by delicate fretwork on the beams and poles, feature tiling on the porch floor and a characterful front door that welcomes you in like an old friend. Inside a wide entryway and over 3.3-metre high ceilings create a feeling of spatial abundance, while the classic polished warm timber floors create a homely ambience. Stained glass windows, decorative ceilings and stunning archways are well-preserved features adding to a sense of historical appeal. This blends perfectly with the modern refurb, which focuses on classy minimalism with a nod towards comfort and functionality. Nowhere is this more evident than in the kitchen, where stone benchtops, 2pac cabinetry and a stainless-steel gas cooktop, oven and rangehood contribute to an important space in the house. Other stunning features include: - Three large bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces and timber floors; - A unique merged living and dining area offering generous space for a family to enjoy, along with a decorative fireplace with mantels; - Renovated modern bathroom with semi-framed shower screen; - Separate toilet and laundry; - Split system air-con in the lounge; - Car parking for five-six vehicles; - New decking on the undercover veranda; - Low maintenance back yard with a combination of brick paving and lawn. In a prime location just 8km from the CBD, it's just a 8 minute train ride or 15-minute drive to the city.
