Nestled in the leafy heart of Medindie and perfectly located on highly-prized Briar Avenue, this architecturally extended home pairs its prestigious city lead with the serenity of the Surrey English countryside. Boasting a north-facing 18.5m (approx.) frontage and exceptional dream-build potential (STCC), it offers a rare opportunity in a truly serene setting.
The land on which this four-bedroom, two-bathroom grandeur stands, was originally owned by Charles Raspthe founder of BHP and formed part of the historic "Willyama" estate. Built in c1931, the residence has changed hands just twice in the past century.
Today, it's a home of two seamlessly connected halves evoking charm from every soaring beamed ceiling, diamond leadlight pane and solid timber floorboard. The original Gothic cues of its wainscoted foyer and sophisticated formal lounge, combined with the piercing heights and 2018 refinement of the Walter Brooke-designed, open plan living space, deliver a refined and elegant residence for the growing family, medical specialist or jet-setting professional seeking privacy and security on the city's most affluent fringe.
Contemporary yet sympathetic, you'll host friends around the chic provincial kitchen, slip out to the elevated all-weather alfresco, or convene around the living room gas fire as glazed sliding doors and towering corner panes provide a lush and calming, backyard vista.
