An inspired vision has turned the beauty of this wide fronted semi into something truly special where new-age style and timeless looks co-exist in complete harmony. Step past the red door to a stunning display of architectural and design excellence, showcased in every expansively proportioned room of this home. Soaring ceilings combine with designer walls, unique lighting and swathes of timber and glass to create spaces which are both functional and visually exciting.

The masterstroke in the home's design is its sprawling open plan living and dining which boasts walls of retractable windows on one side and retractable sliders on another that open the space to the north-east facing alfresco deck and lower terrace. A vertical garden wall further creates an atmosphere of green tranquillity. Merging with these areas is a substantial gourmet's kitchen with stone benchtops, high-end appliances including electric and gas cooking and a walk-in pantry. The floorplan is considered, providing a top floor bedroom wing plus lower level guest retreat.

Two beautiful bathrooms have been positioned one on each level to ensure ease of living and every one of the bedrooms is generous, light and airy. Three boast built-in robes plus there is an additional large walk-in dressing room on the upper level. Created for comfort, extras include a gas point for heating, some reverse cycle a/c, blinds on the side windows and concealed behind ornate timber doors is a roller door to access the car space via the rear lane. Walk up the street to caf and boutique bliss being 50m from Enmore Road. Catch the latest show at the Enmore Theatre, enjoy a pub lunch at the Sly Fox Hotel and stroll to the bus, rail and Newtown Public School.
