Concealed behind manicured gardens and high private walls, ‘Cleavemont’ stands as a distinguished testament to Victorian architecture - celebrated for its enduring artistry and respectfully enhanced for contemporary family living.
Originally constructed circa 1900 on solid bluestone foundations, this landmark residence unfolds across two grand levels, seamlessly merging era grandeur with refined modern function.
A sweeping wraparound veranda makes a striking first impression, leading to a leadlight-framed entry and a wide hallway beneath soaring 13-foot ceilings.
Inside, the home’s architectural integrity is immediately evident - travertine floors, solid plaster detailing, exquisite ceiling roses, and intricate leadlight fenestration speak to its rich heritage, setting a tone of grace and permanence.
Anchoring the front of the home, the majestic formal lounge captures garden vistas through a bay window and features an ornate fireplace and detailed ceiling rose. This superb space flows into an equally impressive dining room, complete with its own open fireplace and period embellishments. Together, these adjoining rooms provide a spectacular setting for elegant entertaining.
Beyond, the north-facing open-plan living domain embodies relaxed sophistication, enriched by custom timber joinery, a gas fireplace, and a built-in projector - creating a warm and welcoming space for everyday living and movie nights alike. The adjoining dining area is complemented by a sleek kitchen appointed with a St George 5 burner freestanding cooker, a Bosch dishwasher, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar.
Expansive glass sliders extend the experience outward, revealing a sun-soaked al fresco terrace with built-in Beefeater barbeque beside a saltwater pool. Framed by established, low-maintenance gardens, this private outdoor sanctuary completes the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Accommodation is expansive and thoughtfully zoned. The palatial ground-floor master suite evokes a true sense of luxury, featuring a bay window to the garden, decorative fireplace, ceiling rose, walk-in and built-in robes, and a sumptuous twin-vanity ensuite, while a second bedroom on this level enjoys its own beautifully appointed ensuite with a deep soaker tub.
Upstairs, a sun-filled retreat with an integrated study nook precedes two further bedrooms - each fitted with robes, one with a built-in desk - served by a stylish family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.
Comprehensive features include security alarm, intercom, zoned heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, a sizeable laundry with exceptional storage, powder rooms on both levels, three water tanks, and an oversized double garage with internal access and additional storage behind secure gates.
Set high on the hill and a short stroll to Village cafes, restaurants, boutiques, shops and station - with excellent schools and the beach also nearby – ‘Cleavemont’ presents a rare opportunity to secure a residence of distinction, expansive scale, and timeless appeal.
