Entry via 69 Watson Street. This significant residence on a magnificent parcel of land is now available to the market for the first time in 35 years. With more than 500m2 of home, it sits proudly on the enviable Wilston Hill enjoying uninterrupted city views from virtually the entire home, whilst at the same time being extremely private.
The site is enhanced by having 2-street access with 30 metre frontages to both Abuklea Street and Watson Street and is surrounded by other significant residences.
The home has been designed with great attention to detail over 2-levels, maintaining the exterior of a grand colonial home while the interior glistens with contemporary surfaces and furnishings. Its multiple wide verandahs take advantage of the spectacular views in almost every direction and capture the prevailing breezes ensuring constant comfort.
The hub of the upper level is the stylish black & white kitchen which is extended by a casual dining room on one side and a sitting room with breakfast nook on the other. These 2 rooms open to decks and outdoor entertaining areas that surround the in-ground pool on the same level. The spacious lounge with built in cabinetry and open fireplace adjoins the formal dining room and opens to the front verandah with stunning views day and night. The master bedroom features a walk-in-robe, ensuite and private verandah. Two other bedrooms on this level have floor to ceiling robes and built-in desks.
The lower level features the beautiful 9m stained-glass front door and double-height entry foyer leading to the lounge above. There are 2 double-sized bedrooms with French doors and plantation shutters, a bathroom, wet bar, music room and a 14m x 4m multi-purpose room. All can access the well presented gardens with a rainforest retreat including cycads and Kentia Palms on the west.
