Sandringham

Renovated and extended to exacting standards, this is the perfect family home with resort-style outdoor living and everything you love about Sandringham nearby. Builder's own home retains its Edwardian character and matches it with contemporary spaciousness for easy living. Families will appreciate the excellent zoning, with a large north-facing family room and limestone kitchen, zoned lounge, four bedrooms and a ground-floor study, upstairs kids' zone, and bedrooms on both levels. Imagine summers in the private landscaped garden with a pool, coming home to a fine balance of original features and today's essentials, and having the spaciousness you've been searching for. Handcarved shingled weatherboards, a return verandah, fretwork and reclaimed leadlight show the beauty of a bygone era. Contemporary features include a ground-floor main bedroom with ensuite, two bathrooms, Smeg 90cm oven and Asko dishwasher in the well-designed kitchen, security system, roof storage, and a two-car garage. Great care has gone into this quality transformation. There's a shaded terrace with festoon lighting for dining outdoors, solar heating for the pool, an open fireplace in the family room, ducted heating and air conditioners. A wonderful home with a sense of warmth and style close to the beach, Village shops and Sandringham station.
