Last Listing description (January 2022)

Positioned on a generous, gently sloping allotment in the heart of Sandy Bay sits a remarkable home of generous proportions with historic elegance combined with stylish renovations designed for contemporary living.

Constructed in 1925, the Inter-War period home retains many original features which seamlessly blend with modern rejuvenation, including polished timber flooring, soaring high ceilings, intricate timber fretwork, archways, fireplaces, and decorative ceiling cornices.

From the entrance, with ornate lead-lighting, a formal timber staircase greets, providing a glimpse of the grandeur to come. With a unique, flexible floorplan spread across two generous levels, there are multiple living arrangements to suit any lifestyle.

Beginning on the entrance level, a light-filled living or formal dining space occupies the front of the home, basking in abundant sunshine, with a fireplace, and views across the leafy streetscape. Further along sits secondary lounge space, also with functional fireplace, featuring pressed-tin ceilings and outdoor access.

Towards the rear of the ground level, a modern kitchen with room to dine-in provides ample storage and countertop space, complete with an oven, electric stovetop, and a rangehood.

Continuing on the ground floor, two generous bedrooms make up a portion of the sumptuous accommodation provided throughout the home, each with built-in wardrobes, and one with a stylish en-suite.

The main bathroom servicing the lower level is centrally located, and contains a shower, vanity, and a toilet. Neatly hidden from view, ample storage space is provided beneath the stairs.

Ascending the grand staircase, the top floor of the residence offers a myriad of living and sleeping options, with up to four bedrooms available, or three with a generous storeroom or additional home office space.

The larger of the bedrooms contains a fireplace, and stunning views reaching the hills of Sandy Bay via beautiful bay windows. A sunroom with external spiral staircase leading to the backyard, and a study bathing in afternoon sunshine complete the upstairs floorplan.

Returning downstairs, and outside, the generous 1077m2 allotment features glorious gardens at both the front and rear of the home with lush, green lawns, established trees bursting with colour, and fastidiously maintained succulents.

For outdoor entertaining, a courtyard within the rear yard provides a sunny spot to dine al fresco and enjoy hosting family and friends, within easy reach of the kitchen via the rear entrance.

Parking will never be problematic, with a large driveway offering off-street space for multiple vehicles, continuing around to the rear of the home if required.
