This delightful, character-filled home sits on a leafy Chinese Elm-lined streetscape in Griffith, an easy stroll from Manuka Village, numerous reputable schools and popular inner south attractions.

Distinctive from the street for its rare Dutch Colonial architecture including Marseilles terracotta tiled gambrel roof and dormer windows. The home has recently been upgraded with fresh paint, new flooring, carpets and curtains throughout. Another defining characteristic of this impressive home is the generous size of all bedrooms. Four of the five bedrooms easily accommodate a king-size bed, with additional seating space. The fifth has been set up as a study. Both the study and the palatial master are conveniently located on the ground floor. The latter benefits from double banks of wardrobes, a huge ensuite and private access to a rear deck.

Upstairs, a further three bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary family bathroom with double basin and walk-in shower. They also have the run of a massive elegant second-storey living room that overlooks an inground pool through mullion windows.

The sleek kitchen too, benefits from the home's unique architecture, with a deep bay window providing the best of the backyard views. A sunken family room provides access to the rear deck via French doors, while the formal lounge to the front has an open fire and northerly aspect that makes it the perfect spot to curl up in the winter.

The rear garden is private with lush lawn and a fabulous entertaining area conveniently located close to the kitchen. The inground pool and surrounds provides an ideal oasis to relax around during the warmer months.

Overall, a beautiful family home with charm, upgraded tastefully to provide all the home comforts.
