Set on an expansive 1,832m² allotment, the property delivers the space, privacy and refinement often sought by discerning buyers seeking a distinguished town residence without compromising on the character, lifestyle and sense of place synonymous with the Western District.

Rich in character and warmth, the home showcases a seamless integration of classical architecture and thoughtful modern enhancements.
Elegant formal living and dining rooms evoke a sense of refinement rarely found in contemporary homes. Bay windows, fireplaces, traditional detailing and gracious proportions create inviting spaces equally suited to entertaining guests or enjoying quiet moments by the fire.
Designed for modern family living, the home transitions effortlessly into an architecturally renovated kitchen, dining and living domain. Bathed in natural light, this impressive space features quality cabinetry, Caesarstone benchtops, a substantial island bench, induction cooking and excellent storage.

The master suite enjoys built-in storage, an ensuite and a peaceful outlook, while the family bathroom beautifully combines period charm and contemporary comfort with a striking clawfoot bath, quality fittings and a spacious walk in shower.
Outside, the lifestyle offering is equally compelling. Mature trees, productive gardens and a remarkable collection of fruit trees, including a thriving avocado tree, create a private oasis rarely found within town boundaries. A chicken enclosure, outdoor entertaining spaces and established landscaping lend a sense of self sufficiency and connection to nature, while excellent shedding, garaging and rear access from Griffin Street ensure practical everyday functionality.

The privacy established grounds and generous double block setting create a sanctuary that feels far removed from the bustle of everyday life.
Homes of this calibre are seldom offered. Combining the grace of a bygone era with the convenience and comfort of modern living, 28 Gray Street presents a truly unique opportunity to secure one of Church Hill's most distinguished residences.
