This is the finest example of a brand new ultra-contemporary, very high end home being outstandingly connected and blended with a stunning turn of the century weatherboard masterpiece.
The new section is sleek, high, light, bright and airy with all the flow and connectivity between the individual spaces as well as the outdoors that everyone loves in a new home. The 1800's two storey weather board at the front has been meticulously renovated to include full insulation (walls, floors AND ceilings), reverse cycle air-conditioning, modern plumbing, wiring and lighting whilst at the same time retaining its phenomenally detailed pressed tin ceilings, broad polished timber floors and master craftsman carpentry details. In fact the sellers did such an outstanding job that they won the civic award for Best conservation of a timber home!
The result is a stunning, absolutely unique home that enjoys the very best of both worlds.
There is ample room in and around this property due to the fact that it is built on a double block. The location is exceptionally family-friendly being very close to MacLagan and Creswell Parks as well as walking distance to Scotch College.
The master suite is on the ground floor in the new section as is the absolutely fabulous gourmet kitchen, dining room, family room, walk-in wine cellar, laundry and extra-large double garage. There are courtyards on both sides with the main courtyard presenting a fabulous outdoor living space including a built-in BBQ area/outdoor kitchen, spa and cedar lined sauna.
The master bedroom suite includes a large walk in robe and a sumptuous ensuite with double vanity, separate bath, double shower with rain head, W.C and bidet.
The heritage front section houses three bedrooms upstairs, a large bathroom and a lounge. Downstairs is a guest bedroom with ensuite, two studies and the original spacious formal lounge.
Every detail and finish is of the finest materials and workmanship. The end result is a unique home that has character but also the best of modern design and building technology. It is a large home but one that is completely usable. There are no wasted rooms or unused spaces. The level of fit-out and finish throughout is faultless. In addition, there is a 5kw solar power system with 25 panels on the roof.
The blending of the old with the new has created something that is more than just the sum of its parts. It has taken a keen architectural eye to achieve the right balance, functionality and integration so that the entire home has become a fully usable, liveable and enjoyable space. We believe they have achieved something truly remarkable. If this looks and sounds like that very special home you have been looking for but haven't yet found, I invite you to book a time with me for a private inspection to see for yourself what an exceptional opportunity this is.
