The mid-century verandah has been painted in on-trend colours.
Original floorboards have been restored and the result is impressive. Set against white walls and the three-stepped original cornicing, it adds to the mood which is welcoming and contemporary with a period feel.
There are four bedrooms, all of a great size.
Carpeted in charcoal pile, the fourth is the only one without built-in robing and is presently used as a TV room. This room has a great feel, with original timber panelling painted to tie in with the white plantation shutters and the result is a relaxing and breezy vibe.
The main bedroom has sheer white curtains creating privacy and a sense of style. They are paired with taupe blockout blinds and the on-trend window dressing complements the en suite and walk-in robe.
The same curtain style is found in the lounge room which also has a gas heater with its original mid-century stacked stone surround.
In the kitchen it is impossible not to be impressed by the glass splashback, soft-closing cabinetry, a 900mm Westinghouse stainless-steel oven, five-burner gas cooktop, a stainless-steel Westinghouse dishwasher and 60mm Caesarstone benches.
Cafe windows have been installed with a bar bench to the outside for easy entertaining.
A large pergola with a concrete area comfortably fits an eight-seat dining setting and looks over the huge backyard that has an apricot tree, fig tree, as well the obligatory lemon tree, currently full of fruit. All are established for 50 years or longer and successfully bear fruit every season.
A fantastic workshop-cum-studio at the rear of the block looks great and could even be a very special cubby house.
The double garage has a Coonara wood burner.
Ducted heating, wall-set air-conditioning, and new white remote security shutters complete the package.
