This is a sophisticated French Provincial-inspired home for downsizers and professionals, with the scale and refinement to make the next move feel like an upgrade. The elegant rooms are expansive, the dining table can seat a crowd, there is garden enough to potter in and a double garage offers the peace of mind of direct internal entry.

Columns mark the entry and give the arrival a certain theatre. The lounge sits to one side, beautifully proportioned around a marble fireplace and custom-fitted shelving, with tall windows and French doors bringing the garden close. Across the hall, the dining room connects directly with the kitchen and opens outside, allowing long lunches and dinner parties to move easily onto the alfresco deck. Smoky-toned cabinetry gives the kitchen depth, balanced by pale stone benchtops and a wide island with waterfall ends. Miele wall ovens, gas cooking, a dishwasher and an impressive amount of storage make it ready for serious cooking.

Beyond the French doors, the timber deck is enclosed by established planting and tall greenery. There is space for a full outdoor setting and barbecue, along with plenty of opportunity to keep green thumbs happily occupied. Grow herbs near the kitchen, add pots of colour, train climbers along the fence or simply enjoy the leafy privacy already in place.

The main bedroom is generously scaled and includes a walk-through robe leading to an ensuite with a freestanding elliptical bath beside the window, twin vessel basins, a floating timber vanity and separate shower. The second bedroom has built-in robes and is served by another stylish bathroom. An executive home office opens to its own courtyard, providing a quiet place to work with the option of taking coffee, calls or paperwork outside. The walk-in laundry adds practicality often lost in a move to something smaller.

This blue-chip location is moments away from Whyte Street Reserve, with Church Street shopping, dining, cinema and station within walking distance. The beach and leading schools are also close by. It is grand without being showy, private without feeling closed in, and perfectly pitched for buyers who want less upkeep without living smaller.
