Captivating in every way, this striking early 1900s Federation home has been architecturally reimagined for modern living without sacrificing its innate beauty and grandeur. Gracing a prime 696sqm landholding with a perfect north to rear aspect, become established within this peaceful community central to the village hubs of both Cremorne and Mosman.
Holding a nostalgic double frontage, arrive home to tessellated tile verandahs and step inside to a classically beautiful entry foyer. United in warm mid-tone oak flooring, rooms are outlined by dado picture rails and illuminated by chandeliers. A spectacular 4.1 metre domed patterned ceiling is showcased in the front room along with a majestic arched bay window and fireplace. Offering fabulous flexibility, glass doors open into a central formal dining room/study.
Capitalising on its northerly aspect, natural light streams in at the rear and through a selection of strategic skylights. Suited to both everyday family living and large-scale entertaining, the open plan concept seamlessly spills outdoors through sliding glass doors. An all-weather covered outdoor lounge extends off the kitchen and sits alongside both the alfresco dining patio and solar heated swimming pool. Continually connected, there is a clear line of sight from the kitchen to watch kids at play in the pool or within the secure backyard. Superbly tailored, clever architectural detailing throughout has created a home of everlasting appeal. A solid concrete island bench is the hero of the entertainer's kitchen sitting flawlessly against the sleek stainless-steel benchtops. Integrated with a selection of quality appliances, the kitchen features an Ilve induction cooktop, Ilve 900mm under counter oven, Ilve microwave and a semi-integrated Miele dishwasher.
Crowned by a whole floor parents' retreat, the master bedroom extends to a Travertine balcony, a skylit dressing room and wet room style ensuite with bathtub. There is a walk-in shower in the family bathroom on the living level as well as a second shower in the laundry and separate guest powder room. To be sold with a long list of extras, features of notable appeal include built-in robes, ceiling fans, gas heating, ducted air-conditioning, solar panels, garage/workshop and a double carport.
A long-term family home of over 18 years, discover the charms of Richmond Avenue with its proximity to local Middle Harbour Public School, Cremorne Village and city bus transport.
