In a coveted Cooks Hill streetscape nestled between National Park, Centennial Park and Darby Street, this simply gorgeous 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom family home offers modern sophistication against a backdrop of timeless 1930's elegance. An exquisite 2009 renovation and extension has been masterfully designed and luxuriously finished from first impression to final detail. French cut marble tiled entry and landscaped garden, soaring 3.4m ornate plaster ceilings, elegant leadlight windows, Blugum timber floors, custom cabinetry by Hovious Joinery throughout and a cherished north to rear aspect are some of the home's defining features. A formal lounge room with Eco Smart fireplace and the relaxed open plan family living and dining area are perfectly paired with a stone-topped island kitchen, detailed to the highest standard with a full suite of quality Miele appliances. A wall of stacker doors with remote controlled blinds allows beautiful natural light to permeate into every corner of this warm and inviting space, and when peeled right back allows a seamless transition to the all-weather Merbau deck with outdoor kitchen, landscaped lawns and freestanding double garage.
