Built in 2002 by APG Homes on a 302sqm block, the double brick home stands handsome and tall with a pleasing street presence. A distinctly European-inspired exterior features a classic taupe and white colour scheme, Juliet balconies, tall windows and a front balcony that looks over the Mediterranean-style gardens with olive trees and neat hedging. The portico entry was designed for both style and security, with black wrought iron gates to a portico opening up to double doors that reveal a lovely open floor plan with numerous living spaces. Timeless travertine floors are complemented by white walls and high ceilings that offer an ideal neutral canvas for either classic or more contemporary décor. On the right of the entry is an inviting formal dining, while across from this room is the formal lounge, a comfortable room with custom-designed bookcases that give a cosy Hamptons feel. The hallway opens up into a capacious light-filled open-plan kitchen, living and dining that overlooks the back courtyard garden. The classic-style kitchen is the inviting heart of the home and features taupe Caesarstone benchtops, a large walk-in pantry, breakfast bar and appliance cabinet. Designed to be usable all year-round, the decent-sized alfresco entertaining area has a remote-controlled louvered roof, while awnings can be utilised in the other parts of the garden when needed for shade or cover. Bougainvillea and hoya plants soften the walls while potted lemon trees add to the pared-back Mediterranean look. The back garden gate offers access to Direction Way, a curved road that conceals the locals’ private access to Harvey Beach. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms. The main suite is particularly spacious and with its Juliet balconies and pretty street outlook has a calming feel reminiscent of a charming French apartment. There is another versatile space to the landing ideal for use as a study, studio, reading room or children’s play space. This space opens up onto the balcony. The layout makes the most of the corner block, giving it a light-filled feel and outlooks across the charming village-like streets, yet the considered design and mature olive trees still give the home a feeling of retreat and privacy. visit www.mintrealestate.com.au for more information.
