Where dreams become home

A legacy of the 'Arts and Crafts' era, this gorgeous period home is picture perfect, brimming with character and has moved with the times. It captures a modern chic vibe while showcasing authentic features and traditional charms. The home oozes street appeal and evokes an instant sense of warmth from the moment you arrive. It's elegant layout and decor, together with bright and airy interiors and river views, set the tone for stylish living. What's not to love about a home that celebrates the past, embraces the present, is brought to market with brand new external paintwork and a new ducted heating system. Much of the interior has also been repainted. The spirit of indoor-outdoor living is encapsulated to perfection and size really matters here. The home offers close to 300sqm (more or less) of fine living and the elevated section, comprising 1158sqm (more or less) of immaculate landscaping, makes for a precious find. Four generous bedrooms (plus office/fifth bedroom) span two levels and include a ground floor master haven with an en-suite. The extra living space upstairs opens to a balcony with a river outlook and the sunroom is an enticing retreat. Two spacious living areas at garden level dish out plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining and family togetherness. The kitchen outshines with high-spec appliances, stone benchtops, clean lines and sumptuous detailing. The configuration allows for dining choices, and the detailing throughout is exquisite. Guests can enjoy alfresco life on the deck flowing off the kitchen and living areas. Sitting around the open fire in the evening will be a favourite summer pastime. Kids and pets have oodles of room to play in the immaculately cared for grounds that nestle in leafy seclusion. A double garage, carport, storage area and a massive amount of parking round off this brilliant package that seamlessly integrates classic style with a contemporary mindset. In a prized Claudelands location, the property is close to river walks, the CBD, parks and events centre.
