BEST OFFERS BY TUESDAY 27TH OCTOBER AT 11AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR).
A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the most picturesque double return veranda villas in exclusive St Peters. Cherished by the same family for over fifty five years, its gracious 19th century architectural integrity has been beautifully preserved providing an exceptional base for the astute buyer to refurbish and extend into the 21st century if so desired (STNCC).
As one of the first residences built on prestigious Fifth Avenue in 1882, the house first belonged to prominent journalist and Hansard reporter Thomas Harry and remained in his family for over eighty years. Over 140 years later, its unbeatable position within walking distance of St Peters College, local shops and recreation remains highly coveted and sought after.
The original wrought iron and stone front wall heralds a truly special property. A peaked return veranda that wraps around its bluestone front and sides is embellished by magnificent iron lacework. Glorious original features continue throughout its spacious and versatile interior, including polished boards, marble mantles, and decorative ceilings.
Generously proportioned rooms extending from the wide central hallway are highly flexible in nature and currently comprise a formal lounge, study and three bedrooms.
To the rear, an expansive and privately positioned master bedroom includes built-in robes and an ensuite bathroom.
Adjacent to the farmhouse style eat-in kitchen is a large dining room and 20th century living addition bathed in light from colonial style windows that gaze across the rear lawn and garden.
To complete this superb home is a large family bathroom, laundry room and original cellar.
The house would respond beautifully to further upgrades, with a wide side allotment behind the double carport providing additional room to extend (STNCC).
