A unique opportunity to build upon the remarkable work of the current custodians, who have meticulously restored this striking residence to its former glory. Every inch of the original building has been thoughtfully renovated, from new plumbing, wiring, and roofing to the revival of its hen-pecked front façade. Each feature has reinstated the craftsmanship and architecture that define the era.
The home sits proudly on a generous St Peter's allotment, commanding its location with a quiet confidence. Its scale and positioning offer abundant land and design potential. The perfect canvas for a new extension, an architectural pavilion to the rear, or even the addition of a side-by-side carport, a rare luxury in this coveted suburb.
Striking from the moment you enter the home, the wide, arched hallway, lined with decorative cornices and 3.66-metre-high ceilings, creates an immediate sense of volume and elegance. At the same time, leadlight windows surround the entry door, casting northern light across crisp white walls and polished Baltic pine floors.
The front sitting room features the signature Bay window with leadlight windows. It retains its original fireplace, a working feature decorated with hand-painted tiles, a timber mantel, and a slate hearth.
A flexible floorplan allows for up to 5 bedrooms, and currently offers a study, three bedrooms and a dining/4th bedroom. Each room is brimming with natural light, and original fireplaces have been beautifully restored.
A gorgeous, sparkling two-way modern family bathroom integrates with the main bedroom and has a double vanity and frameless shower with refined finishes.
To the rear, the home's functional, modern kitchen combines high-end appliances with stone benchtops. You'll enjoy the Smeg stand-alone 900mm cooktop and oven, Smeg dishwasher and the European-style laundry integration with an under-bench Fisher & Paykel washing machine. The central island bench invites you to pull up a chair and share a meal. Cupboard space is ample, and there is a large pantry.
Outside, an outdoor all-weather entertaining area offers immediate enjoyment. The simple, structured garden, with privacy hedging and lawn, offers future scope to extend the home, add a pool, or enjoy the space as you see it.
