An exceptional Edwardian with its 3 bedroom layout, large city-edge setting and dual street frontage, 'Hayslemere' is the pick of the village where north-side orientation coaxes natural light throughout a beautiful interior showcasing period refinement, contemporary finesse and superbly defined space to enjoy in absolute comfort. Secluded and serene behind high-fence front garden, this wonderfully-wide residence with a highly-attractive tuckpointed brick façade opens from a return veranda into an inviting hallway and a spacious main bedroom with a wall of built-in robes that stands directly opposite a handy ensuite-style bathroom. Further are 2 additional bedrooms of impressive proportions that include built-in robes, with the larger of the two offering external access to a front-leading garden pathway. Hydronic heating and air-conditioning maintain a perfect year-round ambience, enhanced by open fireplaces, polished floorboards, plantation shutters and fresh paintwork, as the floorplan unfolds into a huge, full-width living room with a high ceiling and elegant style. Complemented by a full-size second bathroom and a separate laundry, a brilliantly modernised kitchen with a British-made Stoves double-oven range cooker (7 gas burners), a Bosch stainless-steel dishwasher and a walk-in pantry offers incredible functionality for the everyday and entertaining, while adjoining is a delightful family/meals area. Multiple sets of French doors link seamlessly out to a landscaped rear oasis where a secluded and sunny entertainment terrace with a retractable awning extends to a garden expanse fringed in Manchurian Pear trees, a lock-up storage area and off-street parking space secured by remote-control gate to Lilly Street. Freestanding on an impressive 306 sqm approx. allotment at a premier address, this substantial single-level home with solar power delivers a sought-after lifestyle of indoor-outdoor success offering quick, easy and convenient access to surrounding inner-city amenities.
