This masterfully renovated villa ticks every box for modern family living. An inspired architectural transformation in 2018 maximised space and light, and it now showcases a beautiful balance of old and new. Three generous living areas, a heated pool, private garden oasis, a separate cottage and abundant storage make this a true home for all seasons.

The landscaped 748sqm property enjoys good elevation above the street and is incredibly quiet and peaceful, thanks to the double glazing and comprehensive insulation. The original floorplan was reworked and expanded to offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms over two levels. A flexible layout means there is ample space to relax and reset in private, as well as room to gather, connect and entertain in the expansive social zones.

Interiors blend the grace and elegance of yesterday with the essential style and function of today – with pressed tin ceilings, leadlights and kauri floors enhanced with central heating, HRV, shutters and a crisp white colour scheme. The wide, gallery-style entrance hall has three bedrooms (incl. master ensuite) and the family bathroom located off it, as well as the cosy formal lounge with open fire.

A cavity slider opens into the voluminous living, dining and exquisite chef’s kitchen space, which has a study nook and generous scullery. A seamless indoor/outdoor connection is achieved via large walls of glass doors that flow out to the private deck, flat lawns and tropical heated pool complex and cottage.

The ground floor provides enticing flexibility for teenagers, extended family or working from home. It incorporates a bedroom and rumpus room, each with their own bathroom and outdoor access. The double carport has an automatic door and local beaches, the golf course, excellent schools and public transport are all so close to home.
