This breathtaking modern farmhouse inspired residence presents an unparalleled offering for families seeking an elegant fusion of classic charm and contemporary finesse. Expertly reimagined, extended and renovated over the years, the mid-century architecture harmoniously integrates with luxurious modern living, set on a generous 899m2 allotment that also houses a fully glass tiled inground pool. The stunning facade with heritage wire fence, charming verandah and beautifully landscaped front yard sets the tone for the elegance within where impeccable style is fused with family-friendly functionality. Enriched with superior attention to detail and design and high-end fittings, this turnkey home has had no expense spared in its stunning transformation.

The home's original Tasmanian Oak floorboards create ambient warmth and character that flows seamlessly through the main living spaces, complemented by tall ceilings adorned with intricate cornices that enhance the sense of space, whilst sash windows, picture rails, French doors, and glass handles add a touch of heritage glamour.

Dual living areas provide space for large families to spread their wings including a spacious living room with a gas log fire and custom designed window seat with storage that provides a sanctuary for relaxation and family gatherings, whilst French doors reveal a sun-kissed family/meals domain in a rear wing.

At the heart, the showpiece kitchen with stone bench tops serves as a social hub complete with a lavish 3-metre island crowned by designer pendant lights. With room for 5 people to sit at the breakfast bench this space is perfect for casual eats or enjoying a platter and a pinot with friends. A Fisher & Paykel 900m pyrolytic oven, Miele integrated dishwasher and French Chambord sink will further please the home chef, whilst full height double pantries frame a space for a French door fridge.

Effortless alfresco flow through French doors to an all-season merbau deck means easy outdoor living will work its way into your weekly routines, from weekend barbeque get-togethers, to balmy twilight evenings with friends as the kids splash in the fully tiled solar heated pool. Once the sun has set, move to the curated firepit zone and enjoy conversations long into the night.

Sequestered for privacy in a rear wing extension, the sumptuous master suite with silk drapes, a window seat with storage and walk-in robe is headlined by a chic ensuite showcasing Brodware plumbing fixtures, Laufen basin and a grout free porcelain-clad shelf that extends the full length of the generous walk in shower.

The three additional bedrooms set in the original part of the home, offer floor to ceiling built in robes and provide ample accommodation and storage for the growing family. Equally sublime, the family bathroom gleams under a Velux skylight and flaunts a double vanity with Villeroy and Boch twin basins, cast iron claw foot bath with monsoon shower and exposed plumbing, Venetian plaster and Astra Walker tapware.

Solar illuminated, a fifth bedroom could also work as a nursery, playroom or home office depending on your lifestyle needs.

With its lush lawn and hedging, powered workshop shed, with the potential for a pool house conversion, this home encapsulates the very best of sophisticated family living.

Additional luxuries include a gorgeous laundry with Dutch door, built-in hampers and a doggy door for the family pooches, ducted heating and split system air-conditioning for seasonal comfort, and an oversized single carport.

Boasting superb lifestyle convenience, the home further benefits from easy walking distance to bus stops, Elizabeth Bridge Reserve, Hansen Park Preschool, St Richards and Kilsyth Primary Schools.
