This amazing family home, a beautiful combination of sweeping period charm and modern innovation, is a breath of fresh air to the Balgowlah Marketplace.
Built around the original post federation home, with tasteful additions, and a variety of outstanding renovation works, this home has grown into a glorious family residence perfectly in keeping with todays open, flowing lifestyle.
The entry of the home has all the feel of a grand residence, with 12 foot ceilings above a North flowing hallway, flanked on either side by double bedrooms both with internal Robes, and a study/sunroom.
At the end of the corridor to the left is a spacious modern lounge, with double glass doors gazing onto a sun drenched deck. This outdoor setting itself has an undercover entertaining area as well as an open al-fresco dining section, overlooking a deep, private, rear garden fringed with trees.
At the end of the corridor to the right is the superbly maintained formal dining room. A truly amazing space. Nearly perfectly maintained in the style of the early 1900′s, it is a formal dining room in the truest sense, with wooden paneling, polished boards, original feature fireplace, dado rails around its circumference, and those same twelve foot ceilings. With a guest bathroom adjacent and a short corridor away from the kitchen area, this room is all about elegant dining and ease of entertaining.
The large new kitchen features Caesar Stone benches, top of the line appliances, deep cupboards and pantries, with a functioning servery window giving access to the al fresco deck area. This kitchen in particular showcases the seamless blend of modern living, open plan light, and perfect period features the ground floor of the home enjoys.
While this is the perfect setting for dining and entertaining for adults, the perfect tonic for children is the large tiled rumpus room accessed from the stairs in the North East corner of the lounge. This room opens up onto an undercover play area.
