Harking back to 1918, this magnificent late-Edwardian graces a sundrenched north-facing corner estate of approx. 1,004sqm. Sympathetically reimagined to meet the demands of modern family living, it is an offering of rare beauty and enduring appeal, now ready for its next lucky custodians.
Screened by established hedging, the solid brick home is introduced by exquisite gardens, which wrap around the entire home, forming an idyllic backdrop to daily living. A classic façade with deep verandah, bay windows, intricate leadlight and a hipped terracotta tiled roof makes an unforgettable first impression, while inside soaring 3.35m decorative ceilings, original fireplaces and hardwood floors are all lasting reminders of a gracious bygone era.
Accommodation includes a grand lounge and formal dining room a setting that can cater to even the largest of gatherings with ease. Further on, family relaxation and nightly dinners can be enjoyed in the casual meals/family area where a timelessly sophisticated kitchen takes pride of place. Fitted with glossy timber benchtops, an Ilve freestanding oven & Asko dishwasher, it is a host's dream setting, while ample storage is among the practicalities.
Basking in glorious northerly sunshine, the garden-view master with window seat, spa ensuite & built-in robes is a sanctuary in every sense. Two additional bedrooms share a bright family bathroom, while also offered are a study, European-style laundry, ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, under-house cellar/storage and security alarm.
