A brand new listing for DCK, this fully-renovated Federation residence offers the ultimate inner-city lifestyle. It boasts an elevated position, stunning architectural features, and up-to-the-minute modern must-haves.
And, for those who appreciate the truly unique, this home has a sensational two-room cellar-bar complete with beer tap and tavern-to-garden door.
The residence is solid brick, circa 1905; built during the heady gold rush days for a family of considerable wealth. Notable period features include return veranda, soaring ceilings, hall arch with scroll, Baltic pine floors, and full-size sash windows with coloured glass sidelights.
Fully operational, and beautifully restored, the home has four fireplaces with ornamental cast iron surrounds and impressive timber overmantel.
From 2002 onwards, the home has undergone a complete and thorough renovation that includes new plumbing, stumping and electrical wiring. No half measures here - and no expense has been spared.
The next phase, and perhaps the most challenging, was blending the home's original character with the needs of the modern family.
Mission accomplished.
Rooms include majestic formal lounge, separate formal dining, and modern open-plan living with kitchen. Depending on your individual needs and family size, you might have two or three bedrooms.
Bursting with natural light, the family room offers spacious dining and fully-appointed kitchen with island and ultra-glossy black splashback. It's a chef's delight, and the courtyard is an entertainer's dream.
More like an outdoor lounge, the courtyard is a private oasis with a designer edge. It has a gorgeous jade-green feature wall, and a deluxe remote-controlled extendable awning with wind sensor.
The cellar-bar, boasting original foundation walls, is the perfect place to gather after a night on the town. It's cool too; keeping your fine wines in the most favourable conditions.
Further features include ensuite bathroom, walk-in robe, family bathroom, ducted heating and ducted refrigerated cooling, air purifier, piped music, double auto-garage, storage and utility rooms.
The final touch to this remarkable home is the styling and decorating. Enjoy swag-and-tail drapes, tessellated tiling, embossed wall finish, paw-foot bath, exquisite light fittings and classic garden surrounds.
Inspection is highly recommended. Be prepared to fall in love.
