Character and Comfort

In the heart of Forrest, 4 Sorell Street is a unique sanctuary with a harmonious blend of modern luxury and classic charm. Set within stunning park-like surrounds near 2570m2, the residence was completely renovated with significant extensions in 2009-10 to provide a selection of indoor/outdoor living and entertaining spaces, 5 spacious bedrooms, plus studio.

A formal portico and entry vestibule with fireplace lead to elegant main living and dining rooms. The adjacent kitchen and absolutely stunning main family room area overlook the rear gardens, and flow directly to the central entertaining terrace. Downstairs comprises a very large rumpus area, laundry and a proper wine cellar. With large windows throughout and no less than 13 sets of French doors there is an abundance of natural light and a real sense of connection with the outdoors and garden.

There are 5 very generous bedrooms, 2 with bathroom ensuite plus main (3rd bathroom).

The whole house enjoys a calm relaxing flow, with a liberating sense of space, through high ceilings and the elegant separation afforded by the main central corridor.

A garden stroll is in itself an experience. Relax by the solar heated salt-water pool and spa, or retreat to the separate studio with its own bathroom and kitchenette. There is car accommodation for 3 cars plus additional off street parking - also a multitude of rich plantings - lemon, pear, apple, apricot and olive trees plus a large productive veggie patch - all serviced by 90,000 litres of underground rain water storage.
