Faithfully restored and extended with a healthy dose of modernity, the residence retains an abundance of original features successfully blended for flexible family functionality.
Polished timber floors, 14 ft ceilings with elaborate cornice, ceiling roses and plaster pediments over the doors, marble and cast iron fireplaces and a box bay window in the lounge are some of the standout features.
Generous accommodation includes four bedrooms, a study and an elegant lounge with an arched area suitable for formal dining or the grand piano.
The main bedroom suite boasts an open fireplace, a walk-in-robe and ensuite; two bedrooms have built-ins, while the fourth enjoys access to the return verandah.
The modern bathroom includes a stone-topped vanity, a free-standing bath, a walk-in shower and WC.
An expansive conservatory-style extension incorporates a chef-worthy kitchen showcasing stone-topped benches, Bosch appliances and a butler's pantry. Light-filled dining and family living areas flow through French doors to a timber deck and a stunning alfresco courtyard. With a Vergola auto-louvre roof overhead, travertine tiles underfoot and electric heating, it's ready for year-round outdoor living and entertaining.
The side deck overlooks the private rear yard and the glass-fenced, tiled 10m x 4m pool (self-cleaning, salt-chlorinated, solar heated), an external WC and the oversized double garage is accessed from Broom Street at the rear.
Other notable features include hydronic heating, reverse-cycle cassette and split-system air conditioning units, a large dry cellar, light-filtering plantation shutters, a 7Kw solar power system and a watering system for the lavishly landscaped grounds.
If you have a passion for the past, this stunning home where timeless elegance blends seamlessly with today's modern creature comforts is sure to appeal.
It's found in a quiet street close to the View Street Arts Precinct with theatres, galleries, restaurants & boutique shops; sporting facilities; schools, Rosalind Park & the CBD within a short walk.
There couldn't be a better location to enjoy the heartbeat of our city - leave the car behind and embrace inner-city living minutes from everything.
