Distinctive Grandeur
Proudly presented, this splendid five bedroom Edwardian makes an immediately magnificent impression which is only further enhanced by venturing inside.
Boasting a corner allotment, the grand period beauty, built circa 1903, combines gorgeous traditional ornamentation including high ceilings with rosettes, decorative cornices, a columned archway, Baltic Pine floorboards, tessellated tiles, coloured glass, leadlight, slate, chandeliers and delicate lace curtains, with contemporary class in the form of porcelain tiles, carpet, drapes, Murano glass light fittings, timber Venetians and down lights.
Luxurious spaces include a formal lounge, hosting a bay window with a charming window seat and a gas log fire with a beautiful tiled grate and mirrored timber mantel, flowing into an elegant formal dining room.
Continue through this dining room to discover the spacious open kitchen, meals and family domain, complete with a cosy Coonara wood heater in marble surrounds.
Just beyond is an attractively landscaped, sandstone-paved courtyard with a tasteful water feature.
This courtyard accesses a fabulous large gazebo with glass roof panelling, sure to be the delight of entertainers, providing an outdoor kitchen with a stove, built-in mains gas barbecue, additional briquette barbecue, sink, tiled and granite splash backs and granite countertops, enhanced by an air conditioner and commercial-grade gas heater.
Sash windows connect this outdoor kitchen to the superb indoor kitchen, resplendent with generous granite surfaces, including splash backs and countertops, and a range of quality appliances feature a 900mm Smeg stove with five-plate induction cook top and electric oven, two-drawer dishwasher and canopy range hood. Deep drawers, a concealable microwave nook, generous cabinetry and a breakfast bar complete the picture.
Upstairs you will find four spacious bedrooms, two of which have ensuites, including the impressive master bedroom, which includes two sets of French doors accessing a large covered balcony with leafy neighbourhood views, plus a big walk-in robe and ornate wall-mounted mirror which is a negotiable inclusion.
A third bedroom has built-in robes, like the first two, and the fourth is also a generous size.
Downstairs, the large front room is graced with another bay window, gas log fire and built-in bookshelves, and would make a very comfortable bedroom if not required as a home office or study. With its exposed brick walls, decorative fireplace and sink, a historic central room, once the home’s kitchen, could possibly be used as a smaller sixth bedroom or nursery, or flexibly used in any number of other roles.
In addition to the ensuites, two more bathrooms include a marble-tiled room with a relaxing oval spa, heat lamp, pedestal basin and toilet.
There is a laundry with granite counters and lots of cupboards, plus a fifth toilet adjoining the gazebo.
Several split-system heating and cooling units throughout the home efficiently provide comfort in addition to the aforementioned fireplaces, and a ducted system has been fitted and could easily be serviced and employed if desired.
An intercom system and alarm team with a wall and electric gate to provide security,
and parking is plentiful with two electric garages (one double, one triple) and further secure parking at the front of the home, adding great convenience for motor enthusiasts and those who like to while away hours working in the garage.
A 3000-litre rainwater tank is another handy inclusion, especially for gardeners, as the home has a smart landscaped front garden in addition to the rear courtyard.
Adding even more to this already exciting proposition, the position is within a stroll of Rayner Reserve, transport, schools and shops, making this a sensational opportunity for executive and discerning families.
