While the stats are impressive; two floors featuring five plush bedrooms, four designer bathrooms, four character-filled living areas and two studies, it's the period features that ultimately prevail, including a 10-metre long wine cellar tasting room.

Consider soaring timber-lined ceilings, dark gleaming floorboards, deep cornices, fireplaces with timber mantlepieces, candy-coloured leadlight and exposed brick and sandstone walls.

There's also a large downstairs studio, with ensuite and a separate entrance, which is ideal for guests, or even an Airbnb accommodation.

A contemporary kitchen has marble benchtops and Miele appliances. The bathrooms are simply beautiful; one downstairs features a classic clawfoot bath and those stand-out stone walls.

The built-in robes and cabinets throughout are top quality and in keeping with the home's heritage integrity. As is the imported Axminster carpet and Hush Comfort Plus noise-absorbing windows. All that's felt in here is the soft ambience that only comes from over 100 years of habitation.

There are six open fireplaces, hydronic heating throughout and split systems for zoned heating and air conditioning.

Outside, approx. 1400m2 allotment features both top and ground floor entertainment spaces, side street access to a double remote lockup garage off Laurel Street, and a stately garden with date palm in keeping with the house.

'Belmont' is a palatial family residence almost unmatched in heritage value, quality and class.

Commercial 1 zoning makes the corner block an enticing prospect for future development, subject to council approval. Right now, it's a palatial family residence almost unmatched in heritage value, quality and class.
