Perfectly positioned on a north facing full 809m² site, this gracious residence was designed to not only accommodate and entertain family and friends, but to provide a sanctuary for the fortunate residents. Built in the 1930s, the home underwent a major renovation in the 90s resulting in a two-level 303m² architecturally improved masterpiece with a high stud and modern amenities. The modern masterpiece meets 1930's and consists of two 2-level wings connected by a "wow" glass atrium that includes the modern staircase. One of the ground floor wings features four bedrooms - all opening out through French doors to the deck and gardens, redolent with the perfume of jasmine and lavender; and two bathrooms. The internal access triple garage is at the other end. Ascend the stairs into the vast living area and enjoy the breathtaking harbour views through the large picture- frame arch window in the lounge. There’s a dining space, fabulous kitchen (with scullery) and a guest powder room. Seamless flow from the living through glass doors takes you to an expansive partially covered deck providing yet another space from which to entertain. Cross the glass atrium and you’ll find the master retreat. Consisting of a spacious bedroom, en suite, walk-in wardrobe, office (could be a nursery) and sitting room, it really is the ultimate refuge. Partial central heating, granite bathrooms and gas heating all add to the comfort and convenience. All this and the vendors will even leave you their cedar garden shed!!The location needs no introduction - this well known address is only a few minutes’ drive or walk from everywhere you want to be, including beaches, shops, parks and amenities.
