In a class of its own, this captivating Queen Anne Federation home has been masterfully recreated by Luigi Rosselli Architects. Enhancing its connection to elevated postcard views and to dual access on 873sqm of landholding, the home is bordered by classic wraparound verandahs and a 'treasure chest' inspired rear addition. Landscaping by Will Dangar is the perfect complement to the sandstone flagging, circular windows, and timber fretwork on the nostalgic facade. Displaying resort-style living at its very best, the heated swimming pool and adjacent level lawns are outlined by expertly layered gardens.
Paying homage to its original architecture, soaring patterned ceilings remain within the formal rooms. Acting as a centrepiece within the formal lounge, the refinished feature fireplace is bordered by built-in seating on either side. A cluster of three pendants gently illuminate the lounge with a relaxing daybed underneath the leadlight bay window. Another daybed lines the wall of the casual living and dining with a leather upholstered banquette providing generous seating in the meals area.
Artfully showcasing the very best of timeless design, extraordinary detailing throughout has created welcoming spaces that adapt to a family's ever-changing needs. Joinery personalised by soft curvature and luxurious upholstery provides a sense of permanency whilst maximising floor area and liveability. Centred around a 2.7 metre x 2.4 metre island bench, the open plan European kitchen is seamlessly integrated with a full suite of Miele appliances and endless inventive storage solutions.
Sure to impress, unexpected views are showcased from the upper levels. Flaunting vistas across the harbour to the city skyline and Opera House sails, the elevated alfresco entertaining space opens off the family friendly TV room. Over delivering on accommodation options, elegant bedrooms stem off the wide upstairs hallway. The master adjoins a marble ensuite via a walk-through robe and boasts a custom dressing station and access to the restored veranda. Additional bedrooms are well serviced by an uplifting encaustic tiled family bathroom with freestanding bathtub. A versatile guest room graces the top floor complete with a private viewing balcony, streamlined storage and ensuite.
Gracing a wide tree-lined street, remote access to the double garaging is via Guthrie Avenue at the rear. Become established within a peaceful yet supremely convenient enclave close to both Neutral Bay and Cremorne Junctions and handy to leading schools. Travel into the Sydney CBD in a matter of minutes, this enviable address is moments from city bus stops, ferry transport, waterfront walking trails and harbour beaches.
