With huge street appeal this gorgeous elevated Herne Bay homestead is a testament to the charm of the early 1900's when it was one of the original villas. Left to age, the home has received a total transformation and extension in 2015. This 'top to toe' upgrade now includes new Akwa flooring, marble bathrooms, ducted air conditioning and heating, LED lighting, underfloor heating, double glazed windows and top of the line technology. You will love the four original fireplaces that have been beautifully maintained and the sense of calm that this quality renovation creates. A cohesive and generous layout now includes four large bedrooms, separate lounge and three bathrooms (master with en-suite) leading off a wide, welcoming hallway. The stunning open plan living area has been cleverly designed for a seamless flow from old to new. High vaulted ceilings and bi-fold doors let light flood into the dining, lounge and kitchen. New Gaggenau appliances and a scullery are sure to please the most discerning chef. A basement room could be used as a teenager's retreat or a generous sized wine cellar. This Herne Bay beauty sits proudly on its elevated site with low maintenance grounds and an over-sized double garage. Alfresco entertaining is a pleasure sitting around the outdoor pizza oven, reading on the sheltered wrap-around veranda or enjoying the sun on the north facing deck looking towards Point Erin Park. The location is second to none. The quiet, secluded local beaches, a few minutes walk away, are there for your leisure. Spend your weekends strolling up to the Ponsonby, Herne Bay boutiques and cafes or down to Westhaven Marina and Wynyard Quarter. You'll find Ponsonby Primary around the corner and Ponsonby Intermediate just up the hill, while the private school buses are on your doorstep. This is truly a home to talk about, share with friends and to love. We invite your inspection, our vendor has moved on, so this home must be sold. Tenders close: 4pm 10th March 2016.
