The home is tucked away behind high hedges on a 538sq m block.
Character features include high ceilings and leadlight windows.
The extension houses a beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining and family room.
The chic kitchen, with reconstituted stone benchtops and ample storage, has travertine tile flooring while the living and dining area has polished floorboards.
This room looks out to a courtyard and pool with decking, and a huge green hedge makes an interesting external frame for the TV wall.
There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the huge master with open fireplace and ensuite.
Extra features includes reverse-cycle airconditioning, front door intercom, alarm and 20sq m of loft space.
The owners are selling as they may be moving to the South-West, and they will take many happy memories of their time in this home with them.
“We’ve raised out two children, now three and six, here and acquired our first pet dog,” they said.
“The children scoot up and down the side path regularly with the dog chasing them.
“We have also had great birthday parties where we convert the garage to an outdoor living area and have a band play.”
