Fast Five Why? A breathtaking blend of exquisite Edwardian refinement and contemporary luxury, this impeccably renovated 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home is alive with personality in a neighbourhood united by convenience. Inside, each and every room expresses timeless beauty, light-filled luxury, and a genuine feeling of space. Outside, welcome to alfresco perfection with a chance to cook up a storm while the kids cool down in the pool. This family-friendly property on a coveted corner block cuts across time with the best of Bayside ready to explore. What? Beyond a traditional verandah entry, an inviting hallway leads to elegant formal living and dining rooms, each warmed by a gas log fireplace. The attention to detail is truly extraordinary, underpinned by a meticulous renovation by the owner/builder, reviving decorative cornice work, ceiling artistry, exquisite lead-lighting, and the singularity of original Rimu hardwood flooring. Soaring ceilings and vast expanses of glass accentuate the sense of space and light throughout wide-reaching open-plan living and dining, while a stone-finished kitchen/butler's pantry is graced with an inviting island bench and top-of-the-range Bertazzoni and Miele appliances. Bi-fold glass slides open and reveals an instantly relaxed alfresco terrace under remote-controlled shelter and shade. This outdoor room is a true extension of the interior, purpose-built for entertaining with the inclusion of a pizza oven, charcoal spit, a BBQ on natural gas, and a heated azure-blue pool. No expense has been spared and nothing has been left to chance! A beautifully balanced home with generous scale, three bedrooms are staged on the ground floor, alongside a pair of smartly tiled bathrooms with frameless showers. Venture upstairs to the remaining pair of bedrooms, each superbly serviced by ultra-stylish bathrooms. The first-floor main bedroom is a luxury-led triumph boasting dual walk-in robes and a twin-vanity ensuite with a double rainfall shower. Comprehensive features include an upstairs retreat/home office, large laundry with storage capacity, ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, hydronic underfloor heating, storage solutions, an irrigated front garden, advanced security measures, a range of striking Edwardian period features, and auto-gated entry to off-street parking for several cars.
