This grand Edwardian family home was skilfully restored and extended in a Canny designed-and-built renovation that combines the charm of a bygone era with modern style, function and liveability.

Along with restoring the period details of the 50-squarre home, Canny added a cleverly designed 32-square contemporary extension that takes maximum advantage of the northerly-orientated 2900 square-metre site.

The home comprises formal sitting and dining rooms, a billiard room and study. The master bedroom suite also includes a parents' retreat. There is a guests' bedroom with ensuite, three further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room.

The fully equipped European kitchen features a walk-in pantry. The kitchen overlooks a vast living and meals area opening through bi-fold glass doors to a large multipurpose/media room. Both of these rooms open out to a substantial outdoor entertainment area, adjacent to a tennis court and fully tiled pool. A three-car garage and workshop complete this fabulous home.
