Simply beautiful. Transcending from the 1920s to today, this breathtaking character home sits between Hyde Park and Beaufort Street. Presenting a loveable Highgate life waiting to be discovered-spacious yet easy-care with four bedrooms, or three with two living areas, and an open heart for entertaining.
The front is picture-book worthy: a calming grey façade trimmed with white, decadent yet understated with gables, intricate fretwork and turned posts, framed by wrought-iron fencing and a neat ficus hedge. The gardens are whimsical, with recycled brick paving and a flowering pear, while the elevated, Jarrah-decked verandah is a peaceful spot to take in the city views beyond.
A stained-glass welcome reveals stunning Federation interiors where the detail is simply unmatched. Intricate cornices and ceiling roses, an arched hallway and Jarrah floorboards immediately tell the story of its past.
Beyond the calm of the front rooms, the home opens out to expansive open-plan living and dining at the rear. Bathed in northern light, it's warmed by a raked, timber-lined ceiling, cork flooring and stucco-plastered walls.
The kitchen, where farmhouse style meets Federation, offers the comforting warmth of white and timber, with premium appliances including dual ovens (Westinghouse and Bosch), a Bosch five-burner gas cooktop and an integrated Bosch dishwasher.
A separate living room perfects the flow from the kitchen and dining via double French doors, allowing you to flex the space to your mood. Close the doors, illuminate the soft wall lighting and sit by the fire with a glass of red, or open it up to connected family life. There's also a private front lounge or fourth bedroom with all the character trims; at its centre, a Jarrah-and-tile fireplace.
Outside, the rear gardens are easy-care and fully reticulated, with room to breathe and space to potter, pause and entertain. An elevated area invites open-air gatherings over recycled brick paving, with a patch of lawn for play.
Sleeping has been considered with cosy, character-filled retreats at the front that share access to a family bathroom that captures the heart, with tessellated tiles underfoot, timber cabinetry and a standalone clawfoot bath.
This Highgate address claims one of the suburb's best positions. Revel in the peaceful, character-filled street lined with peppermint trees, with the daily choice to head left for a short walk to the strip, or right for the tranquil escape of Hyde Park. Your locals are some of the suburb's most iconic institutions-Chu Bakery, Ischia, The Queens and Lotus, to name a few.
