Set in an elevated and prestigious Paddington location, this grand and timeless colonial occupies an expansive 800m2 block with an impressive 25-metre frontage and city views to the rear. It presents an extraordinary opportunity in a highly coveted and tightly held inner city area.
The stately home has been recently rejuvenated to cater for contemporary living, while retaining and enhancing trademark character features. Deep verandahs provide the perfect welcome, while inside a wide entry hall creates an elegant first impression.
Soaring ceilings accentuate the scale of the combined kitchen, lounge and dining room. This wonderfully light and airy space is the heart of the home. The kitchen boasts striking dolomite topped benches, quality V-Zug appliances, steam oven and plenty of storage.
French doors provide a seamless connection with the wrap around back verandahs, creating the ultimate setting for relaxing or entertaining, while enjoying a lush backdrop and city views.
A home office on this level provides a tranquil working space. The renovated main bathroom is beautifully appointed and boasts a freestanding bathtub and floor to ceiling stone tiles, while the neighbouring laundry opens onto a drying court and handy kitchen garden.
There are four good-sized bedrooms on this level; the Master suite has a walk-in robe and chic ensuite and each bedroom has stylish plantation shutters.
The lower level of the home is a huge, versatile space with a kitchenette, rumpus and dining area and two storage rooms. A bedroom on this level has built-in cupboards and an ensuite. It opens onto a private balcony, making this a delightful retreat for older children or guests.
The entire home is temperature controlled, with new split systems on the lower level and ducted a/c upstairs. This also enjoys the comfort of security cameras surrounding the property. There’s secure parking and room for two more vehicles to park off-street.
This is a beautiful home and there’s scope to enhance it even further and create a truly magnificent landmark property.
The sprawling backyard offers ample space for a swimming pool; the home could also be raised, capturing more of those city views and there’s even potential to develop the site (all STCA)
