Ashton House, A Parkside Beauty With A Parents' Retreat And Gardens By Annie Wilkes Design
A masterful renovation preserving the home's authentic soul has transformed one of Queens Park's finest Federation residences into a serene oasis just 100m to the York Road Gates to Centennial Park. Built c1915, the Queen Anne style beauty has been reimagined under the expert guidance of award-winning heritage architects Weir Phillips to allow the period craftsmanship to shine while delivering a luxurious contemporary family home with every creature comfort. Soaring ornate ceilings, restored fireplaces and wide bay windows serve as a gracious reminder of the past while a custom kitchen, parents' retreat and landscaped gardens designed by Annie Wilkes create a home of enduring style and substance. Every detail has been carefully selected for its quality and craftsmanship with lighting and fabrics from London, sisal carpeting and appliances from Germany bringing a quiet sense of luxury that's perfectly in tune with its setting on the doorstep of one of the world's most iconic parks. Stroll to the Wild Play Garden, nature trails and the Moonlight Cinema.
