Situated on Sydney's prestigious upper North Shore and only 450m from Killara train station, this c1905 home is a stunning example of the very best of Federation architecture. The home has been beautifully renovated for sophisticated contemporary living yet retains an elegant grandeur befitting its opulent heritage. The property is the centrepiece on 1,856sqm of exquisite level grounds featuring a sensational 36m sandstone frontage and showcasing an established garden paradise complete with rolling lawns and a resort-style swimming pool.
Multiple indoor/outdoor living and entertainment areas on the one level are gently elevated to the north, wonderfully capturing natural light and unique vistas over leafy Killara, while substantial rooms, wide hallways and high ceilings further enhance the sense of space throughout. Interiors seamlessly combine a blend of the traditional and modern, with architectural adornments indicative of the period such as patterned ceilings, stained glass windows and marble/timber fireplaces providing timeless character appeal.
Remarkably versatile, the home offers superb floorplan flexibility and includes separate cottage accommodation, perfect as an office, guest/teenager's retreat or artist's/musician's studio. Its peaceful setting is only moments to village shops, parks and transport, with many renowned schools easily accessible, whilst Sydney CBD is within a comfortable drive or rail commute.
