Cowley Character

Originally built around 1916 this intriguing family home has been extensively renovated and offers all the features of modern living. \nBlending old with new yet retaining the character of previous years the house sits amidst mature gardens and trees on the large 3,375sqm section. Located over the road from the Lamb Street Polo grounds the views from the house peek through the greenery offering privacy on all four sides. Inside the house the comfortable well equipped kitchen looks out over the deck and leads on to the family room where sliding doors take you out on to the deck and which make for easily accessible outside living. While the house has 5 heat pumps it also features 2 original coal fireplaces with decorative surrounds, one in the kitchen/ family room and one in the lounge. Through double doors from the family room, the lounge has its own outside deck and also leads to the dining room with a wood burner, which is set into an exposed brick chimney, as is the fireplace in the kitchen/family room. Down the hall are the four bedrooms and three bathrooms with the master bedroom opening out through sliding doors to the very sunny deck and the pool beyond. The deck extends from the family room, right down the west side of the house, past the pool and is a fully fenced area in itself, perfect for those summer BBQ's and lounging round the pool. Just off from the pool in a recessed courtyard is the spa, and the sauna, sleepout and changing / pool maintenance room adjoin the studio which extends beyond and which is a large, and very sunny room, ideal for painting or other leisure pursuits. Up the stairs above the sauna the very unusual elevated sun deck is a feature in itself with views out over Cowley Drive and the greenbelt. Extensive garaging is connected to the house by a covered walkway, and features a double car port and a double garage where the double garage is inclusive of a large workshop area. This house boasts so much space for home leisure activities. If you and your family are looking for an opportunity to spread out and should you prefer the romance of an older home, then look no further. 7 Cowley Drive awaits...
