Perched on the headland of Kingston Beach overlooking the River Derwent, this exquisite home bears all the hallmarks of heritage, prestige and quality living.
Encased by sandstone, illuminated steps pave the way to the home’s grand undercover entrance, lined with flourishing rosebushes. Once inside, the period features shine, including high ceilings, original cornices, opulent lighting and ceiling roses.
Two living areas present themselves from the main hallway. Reminiscent of the home’s original elegance, one room could best be utilised as a family dining space, with large windows displaying the leafy garden vista. The second living room is warm and cosy with a marble fireplace and classic chandelier lighting, and captures the majestic, rugged landscape of the ocean and coastline below.
The expansive kitchen is a culinary delight with polished granite benchtops and ample cupboard and pantry space, all in the shadow of the incredible coastal view. There’s a stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and rangehood, with plenty of room to house other necessary kitchen appliances. There’s even space for stools to utilise the bench as a breakfast bar. Stepping out onto the paved terrace, relax with your morning coffee while listening to the waves lapping in the distance or entertain guests for al fresco dining, enjoying the cool ocean breeze.
The spacious property features three generous bedrooms. The master bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes, is located on the upper level of the home and contains a sizeable and stylish en-suite complete with shower, polished granite vanity and toilet. Another powder room is also located on this level.
Downstairs, the two remaining bedrooms are located – both with built-ins and water views. A convenient two-way bathroom sits between them, containing a shower, vanity and toilet. There’s an abundance of built-in shelf space on this level to house a library, and the large laundry provides ample room for living essentials and appliances with direct access to the outdoors and washing line.
Flanked by steps on either side of the home and immersed in the suburb’s natural surrounds, the grounds feature a myriad of blooming florals and established greenery. The gardens have been lovingly cared-for and are easily maintained. To the rear of the property, the lawn and an undercover terrace sits, with room for outdoor furniture to complement the sandstone bench seat that remains in situ.
At street level, there’s a single car space, with additional parking available within the secluded street. Underneath, there’s secure storage space to house extra belongings.
Conveniently located near schools, shops and just a short stroll to the beach, this property provides privacy and a family sanctuary within a quiet cul-de-sac.
This magnificent home nestled in the hills of Kingston Beach is the perfect place to enjoy beachside living and the lifestyle it affords.
