Step into this immaculate Forrest residence and be transported to the renovated stately manors of England or provincial chateaux of France, albeit with the quality of light and warmth only Australia can produce. In fact, the current owners say that living in the light is the primary asset of this home, with all the other premium features-of which there are many-simply providing the level of comfort and amenity expected of a luxury property of this calibre.
Sun comes flooding in courtesy of scores of French and sash windows and doors framed in such a way that their architectural detail and texture add character and excitement to every room, along with supplying lush views of the beautiful gardens that surround the home. Excellent entertaining opportunities are offered both inside and out at this exceptional home. Nowhere is this more evident than in the grand and elegant high-quality kitchen, very rarely seen and adjacent family room where a triple aspect helps cloak the spaces with a warm glow throughout the day. The kitchen overlooks a most delightful rear garden, and bbq entertaining area, with mature tree perfect for entertaining family and guests. Seamless and polished renovations over the years have transformed the elegant original 1920s home into a modern showstopper, yet the period feel has been retained beautifully with well-proportioned rooms with wainscoting, picture rails, 3m ceilings and fireplaces in four living rooms that have now been converted to gas.
A heated indoor pool in a French orangerie-type setting strikes the perfect balance between elegance and effortlessness and is the first thing you'll see when opening the doors of three of the four bedrooms in the morning. The impressive master suite is tucked away from the action and has a custom walk-in-wardrobe and a full-sized brand-new luxury bathroom with premium quality materials and selections including Italian porcelain tiles, stone tops, dual sinks and an oversized rain head shower. Every surface here has been finished to exacting standards and with its incredibly private, yet convenient location so close to the Parliamentary Triangle, top quality schools, boutique shopping and exceptional restaurants and cafes, it's an exclusive sanctuary with rare appeal.
