Rolling stylishly out across 358m2, this five bedroom, beautifully renovated home offers executive living in the city's most prestigious suburb. Built to the exacting specifications of a prominent businessman in 1931, it was designed to impress and maintains many of the grand features common to stately homes of its era. Beautifully restored stained glass windows flood the home with light, joined by skylights adding to the sense of space. Formal lounge and dining have been restored to their original grandeur with cedar walls and ornate features, while a second family lounge at the rear opens directly out to a heated pool and spa. Keep an eye on the kids from the highly spec'd kitchen, with picture windows opening out for easy al fresco entertaining. A scullery-meets-laundry takes care of the overflow, also
highly spec'd. Three double bedrooms on this level come with an abundance of natural light, one configured as an office with doors out to the pool. The master sports ornate original ceilings and stylish ensuite, while a spacious family bathroom comes with premium features like a freestanding designer bath. Downstairs is the fifth bedroom, a teen's retreat with room for lounging and ensuite. There is also internal access to the four car garage, immaculately presented and with built in storage. Skylight-lit stairs also lead to the home's attic space, which comes with plans for further development as a grand master suite with panoramic views. There is also premium Harrisons Solar and a Tesla Powerwall system in line with sustainable practices, the icing on the cake for this spectacular residence. Awash in history yet beautifully updated for modern life in highly desirable Herne Bay, it's a must view.
