Landmark period grace meets today’s family space in this builder’s own exceptional Edwardian home. One of the notable period beauties stepping down the hill towards Sandringham village, Kiandra c.1910 is an exceptional example of Edwardian architecture - renovated and extended as a builder’s own home to provide spectacular five bedroom, three bathroom accommodation.
Meeting the needs of modern family life with a grand ground-floor master-domain and contemporary triple zone living, this significant home features fine formal lounge and dining rooms (each with a beautiful aggregate marble fireplace from Castlemaine Foundry), a sun-bathed poolside family zone (beyond the Calacatta-stone and European appliance kitchen) and a balconied bay-view first-floor lounge… in addition to every kids’ dream - a ‘secret’ attic-style playroom!
Appointed with a professional edge with a bespoke dressing-area opening to the state-of-the-art fully-tiled floor-heated ensuite and a streamlined media area for the master, the home features a super-deep jet-spa for the main bathroom, high-end robes for every bedroom (and workstations for some), Blum soft-close cabinetry for kitchen and ensuite, and storage at every turn – from a walk-in pantry, to a walk-down cellar, to roof-storage, to a secure sub-floor shed.
Styled with an appreciation for the home’s rich period beauty (with excellent examples of leadlight, pressed metal panelling, and newly matt-polished Baltic Pine boards beneath 3.6m decorative ceilings), the home offers a wealth of contemporary convenience. Against the backdrop of premier period beauty, this climate-controlled home features multiple gas and Jetmaster open-fireplaces, an alarm, even a ducted vacuum system.
Set in 724sqm landscaped, lit and irrigated grounds with a sparkling dual-heated pool with tiled spa and a warming garden sauna, the property has 6.6kW solar panels, parking for six cars including an auto-garage with even more storage. Within two blocks of the village and station, on the high point of the Abbott Street Hill, with balcony views across the village and out to the bay, this landmark property delivers more than just notable period beauty - Sandringham Primary School & Sacred Heart Primary are also within a daily wander, the Brighton schools are just a few stops down the line, and the bay is at the end of the street.
