Feeling like a world away from care, but just five minutes from the beach, this wonderfully relaxing home is a peaceful and private sanctuary with two separate living areas, multiple alfresco spaces and lush rainforest gardens affording the sensation of a living in your own tropical paradise. A series of architectural extensions by Kevin Snell has created extra accommodation to the split-level floorplan that now features four bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, with a stunning new custom kitchen forming the social heart of the home. A choice of decks creates a natural extension of the interiors and effectively bring the outdoors in while a solar heated Quartzon pool promises a relaxed resort-like vibe. Softly elevated to catch beautiful north-easterly light and refreshing sea breezes, this gorgeous home is like a secret treasure. The local school and childcare centre are an easy stroll from home and Westfield Kotara, Glenrock Nature Reserve and the popular Fernleigh Track are all close by. - Bright and spacious formal lounge and dining room with wood combustion fire - Relaxed open plan family living with a/c, built-in cabinetry, and new carpet - Stunning new kitchen by DSA featuring two tone cabinetry, induction cooktop, Caesarstone benches, electric oven, clear glass splashback and dishwasher - Family bathroom with shower over bath and heated towel rail - Four bedrooms, three with built-in robes, two with a/c - Master ensuite with shower, glass roof and heated towel rail - A choice of decks front and rear, solar heated pool, BBQ entertaining area and a pool room with kitchenette offers an abundance of room for entertaining - Double carport, workshop, and an abundance of valuable storage - 800m to Imagine Childcare Centre and Merewether Heights Public school and 3km to Kotara High
