Elegant Chic!


Revel in the theatre, grandeur and setting of this magnificent masterpiece where Baronial elegance and all its monumental glory blends with modern, elegant chic.
From the moment you step over the threshold, you immediately sense the significance in the quality of the original construction, with magnificent timbers framing the formal entrance, cloakroom, and stairwell, which features a floor to ceiling Heraldic window, and Juliet balcony. Creative, warm, welcoming, this expansive charismatic family home has perfect symmetry in a cohesive and comprehensive floorplan. A superb balance of practical family living, anchored by an open plan kitchen, with butler's pantry, kitchen study, dining and living area. There is also internal entry to a large utility/ laundry room, huge double garage, and a separate outdoor pool bathroom.
Elegant formal living extends beyond the Home Theatre, an enormous room spanning the north face of the home, features glorious leaded windows and doors which open to a large formal undercover sitting area.
Bedrooms are located on the first floor, three in the children's wing, one with an ensuite and a large family bathroom. An expansive main bedroom suite with dressing room and ensuite, adjoins a sitting room, study, and superb library.
Living areas throughout the home seamlessly extend to outdoor dining and sitting areas, pool, and spa complex, with a floodlit astro tennis court and pavilion. All encompassed in 1791m2 of manicured lawns and gardens, with hedged boundaries and gates which ensure total privacy and security.
Luxurious sophistication, where no expense has been spared, presents in the consummate quality and acute eye for detail which is prevalent throughout the entire property. Zoned for Double Grammar and in close proximity to Kings and St Kentigerns schools.
Our vendors have left New Zealand and as sad as they are at having to part with the home of their dreams, logistics dictate the imminent sale.
