With main bedrooms on each floor and so much additional living space, this family-friendly investment in a prized pocket cuts across time! Enjoy a flexible floorplan with a pair of formal rooms up front, one currently being used as a home office, the other an instantly relaxed living room framed by an exquisite open fireplace. Under soaring vaulted ceilings, wide-reaching open-plan living and dining is underpinned by a stone-finished kitchen featuring a freestanding Paul Bocuse Rosieres twin oven, an integrated Vintec wine fridge and a Miele dishwasher. Showcasing scale, convenience and superior performance, these quality appointments ensure comfort levels are at an absolute premium with everything at your fingertips.

A quartet of roomy and radiant bedrooms are staged upstairs with the palatial main boasting a private ensuite, wall-to-wall built-in robes and a commanding balcony overlooking the street. The family-sized principal bathroom comes complete with a sumptuous bath and walk-in shower, while a compact mezzanine-level retreat or study area is perfectly positioned to escape for some quiet time.
