This is your personal invitation to inspect one of Herne Bay’s magnificent family residences.  From the moment you step inside, you are drawn into the warmth and elegance of this classic home.  With wonderful grand spaces and traditional design, this home has everything needed for modern family living at its best.

 

The home is beautifully landscaped for privacy and set on a magical section of 1162sqm.   The children and family pets can run around and play on extensive lawns, and there is an excellent pool complex that coordinates well with the house for outdoor entertaining.

 

A grand staircase and balustrade ascends to a foyer, five bedrooms and two bathrooms (master with ensuite and expansive harbour views) on the upper level.  The lower level has well-designed and generous living spaces with a separate formal lounge to have a quiet read or entertain guests while the children enjoy a separate large family lounge.  The elegant formal dining room is an added attraction for traditional family meals, special occasions, and entertaining with style.  Also on the lower level is a suite containing a sitting room, office and guest bedroom – ideal for a work-at-home situation or as an area for guests or older family members.

 

Two wood burning fireplaces enhance the warmth of the house, and you can use the central heating system for added comfort in the winter months.  In the summer, just throw open the north-facing bi-fold windows to let in the sun and cool breezes.

 

A classic European kitchen with granite and marble countertops and luxury appliances is adjacent to family dining which opens to expansive decks and the pool area.  Your off-street parking and storage needs are covered with an oversized double garage and a carport with room for two more cars.

 

This property is central to the local cafes, restaurants and boutique shopping of Ponsonby, with easy access to the marinas, CBD, and motorways in all directions.  If you desire a home with style and traditional values that the whole family can enjoy, look no further!
