A garden of seasonal change and delight and a home evoking the best of time's past.

'Kiah' faithfully transports you back to the golden age of craftsmanship. Showcasing superb brickwork, timber detailing, a meandering floor plan and even the iconic hills hoist, this Californian Bungalow replica must be seen to be appreciated. The appeal is timeless, the offerings are plentiful, and the future looks rosy when viewed from these four walls. Located in one of Bowral's most iconic streets, the landscape in which Kiah sits is also special - and the Don Burke designed garden is geared around the benefits of deciduous trees and spectacle of seasonal shift.

Recent improvements to the home include a new kitchen which feels like it's been located into the garden at the rear-the extensive use of windows on three sides provides the perfect vantage point to keep an eye on children playing or for calling people in for dinner! Loads of bench space and storage are on offer with an island bench, dishwasher, gas cooktop, French country sink and quality traditional fittings all featured. External access to the garden and gazebo (with power and gas point) is another plus when outdoor entertaining is on the agenda.

A brick paved driveway leads to a broad and breezy front porch - itself another room for entertaining. A living room with bay windows plus a separate dining room each open out from the entry foyer creating flow and flexibility. Timber and parquetry floors, picture rails and high ceilings combine with decorative light fittings and modern down lights, new window furnishings and reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling. An additional garage in the garden with bathroom and kitchenette provides options beyond the third car! A studio/ games room/teenage retreat or work from home scenario are obvious options.

This is a home which will surprise and delight at every turn and needs to be inspected to be fully appreciated. Allow yourself to be transported to another way of living - the golden age - where you can write the next chapter.
