A masterclass in prestige and period-inspired perfection, this Barton Terrace West residence, designed by renowned heritage architect Ron Danvers, unveils opulent Victorian-style grandeur that beautifully disguises its 1991 construction.

Designed to impress even the most discerning host, the kitchen is a showpiece of stone benchtops, premium Liebherr fridge and wine fridge, Bora induction and gas cooktops, and a statement AGA cooker - a culinary haven where memorable gatherings and refined entertaining come naturally. Adding to the indulgence is a substantial cellar and adjoining rumpus, creating the ultimate setting for wine collectors, whiskey connoisseurs, or those seeking a private retreat blooming with potential.
Upstairs, an expansive four-bedroom layout delivers versatility for established families and work-from-home professionals alike. Plush carpets soften each bedroom, while soaring ceilings continue the sense of volume and grace found below. Wrapping the home, a terrace balcony offers treetop views, while the master suite indulges in true luxury-complete with underfloor-heated ensuite, a stunning conservatory, and adjoining patio that captures absolute serenity.
