62 Captain Pipers Road, Vaucluse

North facing on a large parcel of prime level land, this freestanding character-filled home enjoys harbour views from both floors of the current layout. Long owned by one family, the home is rich in charm, space and classic architectural elements - with a fascinating blend of Spanish Mission, Tudor and Arts & Crafts period features. Updated over the years for easy modern family living, the spacious indoor/outdoor floor plan is ready to move in yet some buyers may prefer to create a more luxurious contemporary residence to match this blue chip family environment. Offering readymade comfort with huge further potential, the existing 2-storey home has a grand classic street presence amidst sunsplashed landscaped surrounds. With motorised driveway gates to multiple off-street parking and a separate lockup garage, the versatile home's layout opens to a heated pool/spa, sandstone flagged private entertaining terrace, colonnaded verandah and a large level northerly garden. The wide entrance foyer leads to a living room, cosy sunroom, separate study (with fireplace), separate formal dining room, oversized kitchen (European appliances, loads of storage), open plan family/meals area. There are also 4 spacious bedrooms (2 downstairs & 2 upstairs - one with separate study), ample built-in storage, 3 good bathrooms (3rd with internal laundry/cabana ideal for pool-users). Together with air conditioning, high ceilings, leadlight windows, timber floors and picturesque northerly harbour views, this charismatic family home also offers tranquility and an enviable location, just minutes to Vaucluse Park, Nielsen Park beach, shopping villages, transport and some of Sydney's best schools.
