Steeped in history and rich with character, 'The Manse' is a rare offering of enduring grandeur and thoughtful restoration. Originally built circa 1890 as the Manse for the Presbyterian Church, this iconic residence has been lovingly held and significantly improved by the current owner, preserving its heritage soul while investing heavily in its long-term integrity and liveability.
Beyond the original iron gate and cottage garden, the imposing sandstock brick façade makes an immediate statement. Deep verandas, striking cast iron window columns and timeless proportions set the tone for what lies within.
Inside, the home is a celebration of craftsmanship rarely found today. Wide Kauri pine floorboards with original black Japan markings, soaring ceilings and multiple marble fireplaces create an atmosphere that is both grand and warmly inviting. Constructed in double sandstock brick with cavity walls, the scale, solidity and presence of the home must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
At the heart of the home, the country kitchen remains in its original position, now beautifully reimagined with crisp white Shaker cabinetry, stone benchtops, and sleek modern appliances. The 2024 renovation extended to the adjoining living areas, creating a stunning open-plan space adorned with classic wainscoting, rich new timber flooring, and elegant timber windows and French doors that open seamlessly onto the back deck. The result is a flawless harmony of old-world charm and contemporary functionality, spaces that flow effortlessly for family living, entertaining, or working from home.
Positioned in a quiet street overlooking Alexandra Square, this tightly held location is just moments to cafés, shops, schools and an easy stroll to Lake Alexandra.
