There are renovated villas - and then there is this exquisite masterpiece. An architecturally designed family sanctuary positioned at the very top of the coveted Herne Bay avenues, bathed in sunlight and moments from the bustling Jervois Road shops and community. Its traditional pristine facade gives little away as to the impeccable transformation inside.

Step past the immaculately presented front garden and into the grand, light-filled central hallway drawing you to the epicentre of the home. This refined modern rear extension is a tour de force of design, effortlessly blending heritage with contemporary in an open plan living space that spills out through a wall of sliding doors to the sun-drenched, north-facing paved entertaining patio and garden. Complete with a bountiful centrepiece plum tree and a pétanque court, it is a peaceful oasis.

The kitchen strikes the perfect balance between sculptural and practical with its wood and brass accents, elongated and generous in its offerings of double pantries, Vintec wine fridge, integrated appliances and oversized oven.

Enjoy all season relaxation in the media room with its cosy gas fireplace and French doors opening seamlessly onto the outdoor spaces.

Sleeping accommodation encompasses two spacious double bedrooms with beautiful native timber floors and ornate ceiling detailing, while cleverly separated at the rear of the home is the luxurious primary. Offering a quiet reprieve, it includes a large walk in robe and en suite presented in the same elegant style as the family bathroom with its feature bath, large bespoke vanity and marble benchtops.

There is plenty of flexibility here thanks to a large multipurpose room accessed from the hallway or by a large sliding door/wall, easily configured as another bedroom or living room as required.

Downstairs is a special surprise - a show stopping triple car garage with incredibly abundant storage, workshop and laundry room. This is a rare jewel, extraordinary in both design and location.
