Overview

Captivating Edwardian Estate on 1,287sqm approx.

Originally designed by architect Sydney Wigham Smith in the early 1900s, this captivating freestanding solid-brick Edwardian estate sits within 1,287sqm of established park-like grounds, rich in period beauty, privacy and family warmth, with expansive poolside living moments from High Street. Beyond a breathtaking garden frontage, return verandah and magnificent tuck-pointed façade, immense interior proportions unfold from the central hall, where soaring walls of leadlight and deep cornicing introduce the grandeur of the formal reception rooms. Open fireplaces remain within both the living and dining areas, with custom library storage and a window seat integrated into the substantial box-bay window adding further charm to the living room. Generously sized, open-plan family spaces create a more relaxed extension, with a gas fireplace in the lounge and an Italian marble kitchen appointed with Miele appliances and a walk-in pantry. French doors open to a wisteria-draped pergola and deck, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor entertaining beside a heated self-cleaning pool. Accommodation is arranged with equal consideration for growing needs and flexibility, led by a stunning main bedroom overlooking the front garden and featuring an open fireplace, built-in robes, an ensuite, and an adjoining dressing room. Two further bedrooms occupy the rear wing and share a bathroom with a bath and separate powder room, while upstairs, three king-sized bedrooms each include bespoke desks and full-height mirrored robes, with a central bathroom and separate powder room. Appointed with hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, a laundry with drying cupboard and external access, automated irrigation, motorised gates and off-street parking for five, including a double remote garage, it represents a generational landholding within a premier street, within walking distance to High Street shops and restaurants, city-bound trams, leading private schools and extensive parkland.
