This cleverly reconfigured character home with a modern twist, has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored, having recently undergone a top-notch renovation. It is a heavenly fit for a growing family who want to be just metres from the Esplanade, Sumner Beach, and playground, while also being walking distance to the school, tennis courts, and village shops.
The home is extremely well proportioned with high ceilings and generous sized rooms, with 2 fabulous living rooms. The light bright open-plan kitchen living space opens out on to the deck and private easy-care garden, placing emphasis on entertaining and relaxation; while the second family/TV room is separate and has detailed ceilings and high windows with views up to the hills. Downstairs there's also an office, a well-equipped laundry, plus an extra bathroom for coming in from the beach.
With excellent connection to the outdoors, the summer months can be enjoyed in the superbly landscaped garden or sitting under the retractable louvre shade system.
North facing, the main living area basks in year-round sunshine, and with double glazed windows, new insulation, a heat pump, a gas fire, 5 panel heaters, and some new carpet, this place will also be cosy in the cooler months. The home's considered design puts every bit of space to effective use.
Upstairs the family will appreciate the 4 huge bedrooms, 1 having sea views, and 2 having feature fireplaces and access onto the sunroom with under seat storage. The master has an ensuite with walk-in-shower and a walk-in-robe. There's also a linen cupboard and heaps of essential storage space throughout the home. There is no current garage but there's space and potential for this to be added in at the rear of the section.
This iconic turn of the century property known by locals as Roley's has history that goes back generations. Those old enough would know the Mitchell's General Store in the 50's before it became Roley's Milk Bar and then later Roley's Café and Art Gallery.
Striking the perfect balance between classical character and contemporary refinement, this is a unique home in which joy unfolds well beyond the front door. The true beauty is on the inside so viewing is an absolute must to fully appreciate.
