85 William Edward Street, Longueville

Effortlessly combining period grace with contemporary style, this exquisite c1910 Edwardian residence is a home of unrivalled quality. Tranquilly positioned on an impressive 1,075sqm level parcel in what is arguably Longueville's finest street, sweeping harbour and district views are captured from the upper level. Flowing over two remarkably well proportioned levels, the impressive interiors retain a sense of timeless elegance yet have been sympathetically updated for contemporary living. With a choice of formal and casual lounge and dining areas, there is a vast upper level deck and expansive gardens with ample room for a pool. The designer kitchen has marble benches, stainless gas appliances and a full butler's pantry, whilst the upper level has five bedrooms. The master has an ensuite and private balcony, while there are three immaculate bathrooms. There is also a generous attic that could easily be a third level should the need arise. Desirably private and filled with natural light, additional features include a large separate home office, soaring original ornate ceilings, vast cellar and workshop, marble fireplaces, double brick construction, entrance foyer, skylights and parquetry floors. Presented to the market for the first time in 54 years, this extraordinary residence is ideally positioned a matter of minutes to village amenities, private schools, harbourside parks and regular transport.
