Nestled beautifully into a large riverside section

This superbly renovated, central home nestles beautifully into its large riverside section. With trees behind and sweeping views to the front, this home offers a sheltered, private haven just minutes from the C.B.D. A deserving winner in the Master Builders' awards for renovation in 2011, the spacious 413m2 home has a contemporary feel, picture windows to frame the views and bi-fold doors that all but disappear to allow living and entertaining to flow out onto the well-positioned deck. Glass balustrades ensure an uninterrupted vista. The smart, designer kitchen has a scullery with instant hot water, granite bench tops, a double wall oven and induction cook top and handsome Canadian Oak floors. This substantial home has options for the extended family or for paying guests with five bedrooms in all and a self-contained suite with its own living and bathroom. Two heat pumps, a gas heater and under-tile heating upstairs keep the home warm. There is plenty of room to park vehicles with a double internal access garage and two carports; one with direct access to the main living level. A security system, security lights and fingerprint access are reassuring safety features. The river path is at the foot of the property and town is just a picturesque walk away. Set on a rare 1537 m2 central, water-side site, this appealing home has simply stunning views and an enviable location.
