Peaceful Architectural Retreat On A Parkland Cul-De-Sac
SOLD By Miles Real Estate.
Directly overlooking Rosanna Parklands in the prestigious Elliston Estate, this tranquil retreat crafted by renowned architects McGlashan & Everist-winners of significant awards for Rye's 'Grimwade House' and John and Sunday Reed's 'Heide'-has prime position on a quiet park-side cul-de-sac and is offered for the very first time. This original split-level residence amid peaceful Ellis Stones gardens has been a much-loved family home since the 1960s. Now, sympathetically enhanced, it waits for proud new owners to fall in love with its compelling character and charm. The home's distinctive double skillion roof allows for stunning cathedral ceilings on both levels, with clerestory windows bathing the free-flowing spaces in abundant natural light. The main family area's enormous picture windows provide panoramic views of the parklands-the best vista on the street and a serene backdrop for daily enjoyment. The split-level layout opens from a spacious living room with a wide fireplace, flowing through to separate formal dining and sitting rooms; the spacious terrace is ideal for indoor- outdoor entertaining, and the classic timber kitchen enables efficient serving. The upper level comprises three sizable bedrooms (main with walk-in robe and ensuite, two with built-in robes), a renovated family bathroom and a full laundry. Outside are a functional brick workshop / storeroom, and a timber garden shed. Additional features include solar electricity, ducted heating, split-system air- conditioning, Western Red Cedar windows, a rainwater tank and a double carport. A truly rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in a premier position with unmatched views and tranquillity, this unique modernist gem offers space, style and elegance in a peaceful parkland setting, conveniently located near schools, the Burgundy Street precinct's hospitals, train station, buses, arterial roads and Rosanna Village cafes.
