A distinguished presence in Newtown’s prestigious heart since 1912, this grand Edwardian on a magnificent 1800sqm (approx.) landholding fully embodies the grace and grandeur of its era, whilst offering the finest contemporary comforts and quality in every considered detail. With its elegant architecture masterfully preserved and sympathetically enhanced through a careful 10-year renovation, the home’s park-like gardens and a handsome arched entry make a striking first impression befitting its blue-chip address. A charming vestibule introduces the substantial interiors, which spoil homeowners with multiple living areas, a formal dining room, plus four well-sized bedrooms including the semi self-contained former servant’s quarters. Lofty decorative ceilings, pine flooring, exquisite leadlight and bay windows, and even a servant switchboard pay homage to the historic charm of this home, while contemporary updates ensure present-day comfort, including the superbly appointed stone kitchen equipped with a suite of premium appliances including 900mm Smeg freestanding oven and Westinghouse dishwasher. Beautifully appointed, the home also features three sympathetically renovated bathrooms, a practical mud room, hydronic heating, gas log fire, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and decorative lighting. Beyond its stately interior, discover a north-facing garden expanse with plenty of room for a swimming pool if desired, while a basement level with pressed metal ceiling, working fireplace, and arched windows offers scope to update and create a teen hideaway or speakeasy-inspired wine cellar. Benefitting from dual street frontages with secure parking for three vehicles, this distinguished residence also offers first-class proximity to a choice of leading schools, numerous recreational facilities, and the shopping and dining of cosmopolitan Shannon Avenue and Pakington Street. Access to the CBD and Ring Road further enhance the appeal of this distinguished lifestyle offering.
