Enchanting with modernised chic interiors

An outstanding classic home with a tucked away oasis at its heart. Named 'The Continental' on its plans, the lockwood dwelling was constructed in the mid 1950s and to the present day continues to celebrate quality craftsmanship along with many of its character features including tawa flooring, exposed beams and interior timber walls. Over the years the home has been sensitively renovated to add modern convenience and comfort while keeping the property's character intact. Quality drapes, wallpapers that pay homage to the home's European heritage and sliding barn doors are more recent updates. Another highlight is the functional, designer kitchen that was updated around two years ago.

The family living space is a total delight with its crisp white, sarked ceiling & trims that work so well against the timber features. The lofty cathedral ceiling generates the feeling of light and space, casement windows bring the outdoors alive. In 1966, a new lounge & dining space was added to the home along with a formal entry. Picture windows on the west wall capture leafy scenes and at the northern end, bifold doors can be opened up to enable the living to drift outside to the patio and into the garden.

Also sharing the ground floor is an office, bedroom, bathroom, separate laundry & internal access to the garage. Upstairs, the layout includes two bedrooms separated by a mezzanine space - the master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, the second bedroom is oh-so quaint with its pitched ceiling and cupboards built into the sloped ceilings. The home is cosy thanks to gas heated radiators.

Outdoors, the garden works in harmony, the back lawn is the perfect place for games of cricket, picnics and formal occasions. At the front of the home the garden is equally appealing as it welcomes you to the home.

It's a rare occasion when a property of this calibre with this much character and an accessible location comes to the market. Be quick to view this very special home.
