Perfectly positioned on the sought-after side of Devonport's Summer Street, this classic villa has been thoughtfully enhanced with a series of stylish and functional contemporary features. Small families and downsizers will love the ideal proportions, single level floorplan and stunning gardens that envelop the home. Soaked in sun and filled with light, the very best of old and new is on display here. Heritage detailing has been restored and retained throughout, including the front veranda's feature fretwork, original timber flooring, stained glass and high ceilings inside. These are complemented with white shutters, ducted central heating and cooling and recently added wainscoting to the gallery-style hallway. Three double bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and separate toilet. The master suite has a custom walk-in wardrobe and separate office space. The formal lounge can be closed off from the open-plan casual living, dining and kitchen area, which flows out to the deck and beautifully landscaped rear garden. A huge, cantilevered umbrella provides summer shade, while fragrant star Jasmine fills the air. This area is incredibly private, thanks to the thick, established hedges and the ornamental maple tree surrounding it. The lush flat lawns that frame the property are fully fenced, so are safe for kids and pets. There is additional storage in the separate single garage, as well as in the attic of the home. Sought-after Summer Street is popular with families, as it's a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood with a lovely sense of community. It is coveted for its local beach, parks, childcare and schooling options, particularly Stanley Bay School. The Devonport village is within walking distance, as is the ferry for a pleasant 15-minute commute.
