These doors open to a versatile ground floor family room or playroom, with a wall of custom-built jarrah bookshelves and cabinetry. Adjacent is another large multi-purpose lounge; currently used as a TV room and teenage retreat. This room opens up onto the rear terrace and backyard. Despite the era the home was originally built, the restoration means it feels light-filled and open throughout, with the wide expanses of irreplaceable jarrah complemented by a timeless neutral colour palette. A grand jarrah staircase, stretching the home’s three levels and lit by a skylight, opens up into the upper floor open-plan living. This vast room encompasses the kitchen, dining, grand living and family spaces with stunning views. The heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen with marble splashback and Caesarstone benchtops. Designed for family life and entertaining with a large island bench designed to seat eight, the home chef will want for nothing here. One of the home’s loveliest features is its host of balconies, terraces and private outdoor spaces; offering a multitude of calming escapes to relax while enjoying the cooling sea breezes. There are two balconies directly off the main living, allowing the space to be opened up for easy indoor-outdoor living. Designed to feel like a true retreat, the main suite is on the upper floor, offering separation and privacy. The luxurious ensuite has a boutique hotel feel, with heated floor, heated towel rails, double vanity, and a romantic, private balcony with views across the city - a perfect spot to end the day. The entry level floor encompasses four bedrooms. On the upper floor is a study or optional sixth bedroom, ideal for guests with an adjacent modern guest bathroom. The stunning landscaped gardens are a delight. With a large lawn, the back garden is ideal for the active family or those who love to host and entertain. At night, the gardens come into their own with feature lighting and a towering eucalyptus as the stunning focal point. The rest of the garden is scented by large magnolias and frangipanis and planted with lush strelitzia, palms and succulents. A built-in barbecue and alfresco dining area has something of a Beverley Hills vibe, with its white walls and palms; a perfect place for winding down with a family meal after a relaxing beach dip. visit www.mintrealestate.com.au for more information.
