Beyond the unforgettable exterior profile of this magnificent c1906 Federation residence, a spectacular renovation by Studiofour architects has excelled in blending original period elements with the very latest in designer style and luxury.
A brilliantly conceived palette combines the exquisitely detailed original leadlight windows with solid blackbutt floors, white steel framed doors and high streamlined ceilings. A dramatic central hallway introduces the gracious sitting room, an elegant formal dining room (both with contemporary fireplaces) and a fitted home office. Beneath soaring ceilings with timber beams that flow to the pergola outside, the palatial living and dining domain is warmed by a roaring open fire. A culinary masterpiece, the gourmet kitchen is appointed with Gaggenau and V-Zug ovens, two Miele dishwashers, Vintec bar fridge, Italian stone benches, a butler's pantry and a 600-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar. Oversized retractable glass doors allow living and entertaining to continue out to a full width undercover bluestone terrace with Beefeater BBQ and the glorious north-facing private landscaped garden with a picturesque solar/gas heated pool.
Enjoying its own space downstairs, the beautiful main bedroom with walk in robe and a designer ensuite with freestanding bath opens to a private internal courtyard. The sensational children's zone upstairs comprises two king sized bedrooms beneath vaulted ceilings with desks and robes, a fourth bedroom with desk and robes, a retreat/TV room and a stylish bathroom.
In one of the Gascoigne Estate's most sought after addresses just a short walk to Central Park, village shops, restaurants and cafes, Malvern station, Wattletree Rd trams and prestigious schools, it includes motion alarms, Bose ceiling speakers, hydronic heating, RC/air-conditioning, remote blinds, double glazing, powder-room, laundry with drying cupboard, mud-room, irrigation, herb garden, water tanks, gas boosted solar hot water, auto gates and double garage.
