'Lynwood', A Forever Family Home On A Rare Double Block Between The Village And Waterfront on 948sqm
One of Hunters Hill's most significant homes, 'Lynwood' was built in 1920 and has been lovingly held and maintained for over 50 years with only ever two families in ownership. Facing north and embraced by beautiful established level gardens, the freestanding double-fronted home retains its period grandeur with soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces and Kauri floorboards while a modernist-style extension designed as a children's wing opens out to a sunny lawn with plentiful space to run around as well as ample room for a pool. On a rare double block, the six-bedroom home is set over one level on 948sqm approx with multiple living spaces, a gorgeous Provincial style kitchen and a wide side drive to garaging. Beautifully proportioned interiors, fine period craftsmanship and a highly functional layout are all the hallmarks of a forever home in an exclusive setting at the north end of the peninsula between the village and picturesque waterfront.
