A Benchmark home of the era and a Landmark home in the area, here is an unparalleled opportunity to secure a rare and remarkable example of ‘Waterfall-style’ Art Deco architecture highlighted by stunning curvaceous front windows and canopy, manganese brickwork and a stepped chimney.
This expansive 674sqm/7255sqft (approx.) corner-sited 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home provides a unique blend of period grace and contemporary sophisticated entertaining space. Impeccably restored original rooms include the grand lounge-dining (with open fire), magnificent lyrebird etched glass double doors and an immense front bedroom (the lounge/dining and bedroom with beautiful, curved windows). This home then transitions to a dramatic and soaring family entertaining zone – rising to over 3m heights with a sought-after north orientation.
Endlessly accommodating with a private master-domain (with a luxe ensuite and walk-in-robe) and a flexible fifth bedroom (fitted currently as a home-office), this significant period home offers substantial family living with the centrepiece - a genuine chef’s kitchen highlighted by stainless-steel preparation benches, a visually stunning Falcon oven that’s certain to awaken your inner gastronome, a true butler’s pantry (with sink), a three metre island Caesarstone bench and Blum cabinetry. While an additional al fresco kitchen (with a prestige Ziegler and Brown Grand Turbo BBQ) is set in a state-of-the-art poolside pavilion…the perfect space for entertaining, dining and relaxing with the bonus of a large, multi-adjustable TV, SONOS wiring, heating and electrically adjustable screening. Quite simply, this is the ultimate al fresco area!
Showcasing equally unerring attention to period and contemporary detail, the new architecture pays homage to original features at every turn - with circular moulding for the entry door, bathroom ‘penny’ tiles, and even a vertical garden echoing the homes original curves. In this artful home, contemporary designer lighting (including fan-lights) echoes the lines of vintage fittings, an expertly restored open-fireplace is at the centre of formal living, and streamlined custom cabinetry continues the home’s original lines. Even the design of the wrought-iron garden gate is replicated in the security door!
Within this home is a serious commitment to today’s luxury and technology with the latest wideboard oak floors, airy sheer curtains plus plantation shutters, and a cutting-edge solar-heated pool behind glass fencing. Centrally heated with multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioners and ceiling fans, this uncompromising home is appointed with e-cabling, auto-irrigation, and auto-gated parking plus secure storage.
Just three blocks to the Bay Road bus, close to Southland and a minute to Highett’s shopping, restaurant and transport precinct, this notable Art Deco home puts noteworthy Bayside living in reach, with the beachside café society, sought-after schools, and fashionable shopping precincts all within minutes.
