It’s kept its ornate ceilings and cornices, fretwork, fireplaces and leadlight upper panes in bay windows, but otherwise this Edwardian is a beautifully executed rendition of contemporary elegance. Wide-format American oak floorboards flow throughout, including bedrooms which share two stunning bathrooms, fully tiled in metallic mosaics, with walk-in shower and designer vanity units; one has a freestanding bathtub. The lounge room has a wood heater set in bespoke cabinetry surrounds and the family-meals zone is loaded with architectural interest. The top-notch kitchen has abundant storage and quality appliances. A timber staircase leads to roof space which, subject to council approval, offers second-storey potential. Glass bifolds open to a deck, with glass-framed pool in view, and access to an enclosed outdoor kitchen attached to the garage. The beach is nearby.
