Property listing ID: 753909
Exuding all the charm and grandeur of that era, this imposing ultra-spacious 1920's home located on 2.555 hectares has been successfully modernized without any loss of its unique character and allure. Post and rail fencing graces the gated driveway, bordered by mature trees, shrubbery and hedges and dividing to access both the home and spacious three car lock-up garaging. The gardens are delightful, dotted with numerous trees, roses, lavender, attractive sculptured bushes and brick paths to stroll along and enjoy, stopping to relax in one of the gazebos or picturesque recreation nooks. Slow-flowing streams also rim the property which currently grazes sheep. High and patterned ceilings, bay and lead-light windows, sash windows, striking timber floors and a beautiful colour palette true to that period showcase each stunning room in this superb residence. The living areas are open plan and light-filled, spilling outdoors through French doors to al fresco recreation. The kitchen is excellently appointed with generous cabinetry, gas cooking, double oven, timber and stainless steel benchtops and island bench with breakfast bar. Both this and the adjoining casual dining area enjoy inviting views to the gardens and sparkling pool - perfect for a dip after a lively game of tennis on the full sized court. The large lounge room is super comfortable with lovely bay window, wood burning fire and electric heater. Both this and the formal dining room boast traditional design and rich dramatic colours. All five bedrooms are well-sized, particularly the master with walk-in robe and modernized bathroom, still in character, boasting traditional style. This restful room opens out to a private deck overlooking the pool. A family bathroom, also modernized but traditionally styled, includes a nostalgic claw foot bath. Especially classy, modernized yet still true to its heritage, this property with its Future Urban zoning is earmarked for financial growth. It is also outstandingly, uniquely elegant, harking back to an era of distinction which will be understood and appreciated by its new owner. Our vendor is looking to re-locate closer to family members and seeks a speedy sale.
