Securely set behind automated gates, a long driveway lined by towering pencil pines provides off-street-parking and leads to a double garage. The double-storey home’s impressive stucco and shingle façade is resplendent with a grand entry portico beneath a semi-enclosed balcony, and curved bay windows. Inside, the generous proportions and Art Deco detail continues with soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, timber architraves, and hand-finished decorative plaster walls. Polished hardwood flooring flows through the central hallway to the central kitchen and light-filled main living area, overlooking the sandstone-paved fully tiled built-in gas heated pool and spa. There is also a formal lounge and dining room, with the original servery window to the stone-topped kitchen outstandingly equipped with a top-of-range Fisher & Paykel heritage style freestanding cooker, and complemented with a walk-in preparation pantry. The five bedrooms are on the upper level and each is generously sized with unique features and fitted robes.
