The stylish renovation of this charming period home is set to totally capture hearts.

A blend of period character and contemporary style complement its sought-after location, only minutes to the Sunshine station and bus terminal, shopping centres and all levels of schools.

The captivating house has prized off-street parking for two cars and a spacious landscaped front garden with manicured lawn.

Entry is under a pergola, then into a hallway with polished hardwood floorboards that flow into all living areas.

The living room to the left has crisp white walls and decorative cornices and ceilings.

When the hallway is flooded with morning light, vertical fretwork which runs from floor to ceiling casts a patterned shadow on the wall which enhances the relaxed, cosy feeling.

Two big bedrooms, including the main with built-in-wardrobe and another with a walk-in wardrobe, are to the right of the entry.

A third bedroom with built-in robe is next to the large tiled bathroom which has a frameless shower with monsoon shower head.

The sleek kitchen at the rear has white laminate cabinetry, a dishwasher, mirrored splashback and Smeg 900mm stainless-steel cooker and rangehood. A large bifold door opens from the kitchen to an expansive decked verandah where family barbecues or a few beverages under the shade of tall palm trees in the spacious landscaped backyard will be enjoyed for many summers to come.

In these colder months while it’s raining outside, dine indoors in the separate dining area with adjoining study nook serviced by a powder room.

Extras include Euro laundry facilities and gas heating and evaporative cooling throughout.
