Set on an impressive 1,072sqm green title block directly opposite John Fennessy Park in Applecross, this extended and renovated character home offers a rare combination of timeless charm, substantial family accommodation and beautifully curated outdoor living.
Enhanced by extensions designed by Paul Jones of renowned Odden-Coulter-Everington-Jones in 1985, this 260 sqm home effortlessly balances classic elegance with everyday comfort. Offering sophisticated quality finishes, multiple living and entertaining spaces framed by lush tropical gardens that provide room for a pool, in a private and prized Applecross location.
At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen has been designed to cater beautifully to both everyday living and entertaining on any scale. Appointed with vaulted ceiling and travertine flooring, a feature tiled splashback and stunning granite benchtops, it offers a sliding servery window, abundant preparation space and a suite of premium Miele appliances, including double ovens, an electric cooktop and a dishwasher. Leafy garden outlooks further enhance this space adding connection to the outdoor entertaining areas and surrounding landscape.
The home's thoughtfully designed floorplan provides a wonderful choice of living spaces to suit every occasion. A separate formal lounge at the front of the home is both inviting and practical, complete with ceiling fan and built-in Heat & Glo gas fireplace, while the adjacent formal dining room brings a refined nod to the home's era with dado detailing, silk sheer curtains and wool carpet. At the rear, the casual family living zone enjoys picturesque garden views, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a built-in Rinnai gas heater and direct access to the alfresco and backyard.
Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a timber-framed covered alfresco offering a variety of inviting seating and dining spaces for year-round enjoyment. A fully covered dining area with heat-resistant shade cover sits alongside a Tuscany-inspired outdoor retreat beneath a grapevine canopy, all overlooking a lush rear garden, creating a private tropical retreat.
Expertly landscaped by Tim Davies, the manicured, bore-reticulated gardens create an enchanting private sanctuary, displaying Alexander palms and an array of edible plantings, including orange, fig, cumquat and young lemon trees.
The homes accommodations are generous and exceptionally well considered.
