Originally built in 1913 by the celebrated cathedral architect Robertson as a wedding gift for his bride, this extraordinary five-bedroom, two-bathroom home with two distinct living areas is a masterful blend of romance, history, and modern luxury.
Designed with remarkable foresight, the home is divided into two fully self-contained wings, making it ideal for two families or multigenerational living, while still offering beautiful shared spaces. Residents can come together in the stunning communal dining room, or relax by the grand marble woodfire in the formal living room-an inviting centrepiece crafted from rare marble and fully operational.
The home has been completely renovated inside and out to deliver 21st-century comfort, while meticulously preserving the antique charm and craftsmanship of the late 19th century.
Soaring high ceilings, full insulation, and central heating with intelligent sensors ensure year-round comfort, complemented by individual fully ducted air-conditioning in every zone, including bathrooms.
Bathed in abundant natural light from massive skylights, the home features natural oak flooring throughout, double silk blinds and curtains in every room, and comprehensive security sensors for peace of mind. Hot water reliability is guaranteed with one gas-powered bathroom and one electric, ensuring no interruptions. Mosquito and bug screens are installed throughout for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The main bedroom suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, an open wood fire, and French doors opening directly onto the rear deck. A fully fitted computer room, wall-attached ironing board, and elegant Egyptian crystal chandeliers and brass fittings elevate everyday living. The original main entry proudly retains its antique teardrop pendant, a timeless nod to the home's origins.
The dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and rear deck, crowned by expansive skylights that enhance the sense of space and light. The provincial-style kitchen is fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a 2.1-metre retro black gloss Smeg fridge and freezer with matching dishwasher, a five-zone induction deluxe Falcon freestanding oven with multifunction cooking, breathtaking Vanilla Noir Caesarstone benchtops, and a statement Chambord Herri porcelain French ceramic sink paired with a Nicolazzi copper tap. A walk-in pantry adds both elegance and practicality.
From the kitchen, French doors lead to the rear deck, perfectly set up for year-round entertaining with heaters and weather blinds, allowing families to enjoy every culinary experience outdoors.
Set on a fully privatised one-acre block secured by hardwood fencing and gates, the property is located in the heart of South Hill, yet feels completely secluded among lush bushland.
The land enjoys its own natural microclimate-cooler in summer, warmer in winter. Outdoor highlights include a charcoal wood-fire patio ideal for private gatherings, a fully established fruit and vegetable garden, a 50 cubic metre underground rainwater tank, a 12-zone automatic irrigation system, a built-in composting area, and a large greenhouse with a previous well.
Additional features include a large garage, two carports, and a charming heritage-stamped road frontage, completing this once-in-a-generation offering.
Robertson House is not just a home-it is a legacy property, offering history, beauty, flexibility, and modern luxury in perfect balance.
