Modern ideas have been applied to this classic Californian so that it delivers inviting family dimensions – and the result is instantly desirable.

A living and dining area that catches natural light all day long looks across the streetscape to the eastern skyline, a view that’s also enjoyed from a balcony of appealing proportions accompanied by a substantial awning.

The kitchen’s stone benches, stylish storage and free-standing smeg oven form an efficient combination that’s clearly indicative of the renovation’s enduring quality.

Four bedrooms and three bathrooms offer highly desirable accommodation, including three bedrooms surrounding two central bathrooms that line the elegant entrance hall while below, a sensational lower level belongs to the parents! Here, a study/TV area, the inviting main bedroom, dressing room and superb, full-size bathroom create a retreat of outstanding desirability.

Doors from the study and the main bedroom open to a rear garden so that indoor luxury flows to the outdoor allure of a paved terrace and the attractive backdrop.

Polished floors, reverse cycle heating/cooling units, a separate laundry, pristine presentation and the convenience of a carport and additional parking add fine finishing flourishes to a period home that’s adapted to the times beautifully in a brilliant location zoned to East Launceston Primary School, close to Newstead shopping, with parks, the pool and the city all readily reached.
