656 Old South Head Road, Rose Bay

Privately positioned away from the road, this spacious modern country-inspired family home provides a rare escape from today's fast pace. One of a matching pair redesigned by leading architect Wayne Black, this inviting home is ready to enjoy, yet the ultra versatile layout also presents scope to add further value, if desired.

Sensitively combining smart modern finishes with original character & charm, the light, flowing floor plan opens to covered verandahs & sunny private garden areas. Featuring high ceilings & polished timber floors, the generous formal room includes ornate fireplace & gas bayonet. The hub of the home is a granite kitchen (with breakfast bar/servery, st/st Smeg gas cooktop, electric oven, Asea dishwasher) & adjoining large open plan family living/dining room leading to idyllic N/W outdoor dining deck, en route to the leafy garden oasis.

Of the 4 bedrooms 2 are at entry level & 2 are extra-large master bedrooms upstairs (one is simply enormous bed/sitting room & could easily become 2 separate kingsize bedrooms & a sundeck (STCA). There are also 2 contemporary designer bathrooms, plenty of storage, high ceilings, polished timber & carpeted floors, wine cellar/storage, spacious laundry/utility room or teenage retreat (or potential self contained garden flat), valuable double off street parking.

A must to inspect & ready to impress, not only is this home surprisingly quiet and private, but it's just a short walk to shopping villages, places of worship, schools, transport, parks, coastal walks & prime beaches.
