This particular home had been left in original condition until recently when the current owner picked up a magic wand and transformed it into a 21st century home she has named “Gecko Lodge”. The original structure was solidly built. All it needed was a total interior update and the addition of inviting outdoor living spaces. The transformation from a dowdy old duchess to a modern stylish home is simply breathtaking.

The ground level front door opens to an inviting foyer with tiled walkway and an open, carpeted area. The entire ground floor has been revamped with a delightful tiled sunroom / studio in the right position plus carpeted area beyond which can be used as an office area, rumpus or extra bedrooms. There is a full new bathroom with tub & separate shower plus very stylish vanity on this level as well as a large laundry area adjoining the end-to-end double garage. Every inch of this level is fresh, clean and better than new.

The tiled walkway leads to carpeted stairs which take you to the main level. Modern open living is style here with large lounge opening out to a lovely long morning sunroom that was almost certainly an open verandah in the original plan. The lounge also opens to the fully tiled dining and all new kitchen with its breakfast bar for 2 and stainless steel appliances. The feeling is simply elegant with ample space and fresh styling that can handle anything from the owners slightly Oriental furnishings through to antiques. Colours are restrained and neutral, allowing a new owner to add any colour scheme with comfort.

There are 3 bedrooms with built-in robes on this level and another full bathroom with large corner tub and separate shower recess as well as a separate toilet. Both bathrooms feature interesting tiling features and up-to-the-minute style vanities. Another appealing feature here is the rear deck that looks down over the huge back yard with its open lawns, trees and shrubs.

Real outdoor living here is on the ground level with a wide and part covered timber terrace being the ideal place for family BBQ’s and general outdoor relaxation. It is a great spot where parents can relax and keep an eye on kids kicking a football on the level lawns. I'd call it a back yard made for kids and their dogs. It is also a perfect place for anyone keen on planting fruit trees and vegetables.

There are many trees and shrubs already here as well as some recently planted garden beds. There will never be a water shortage because there is an excellent water bore in the garden to supply all your could need for household use as well as your garden.

The renovation has been competed so that new owners don’t have to do another thing inside or out. All you have to do is unpack then sit out on the deck and relax.
