Last Listing description (February 2022)
Step into a world of refined grandeur and contemporary luxury with this historically significant Queen Anne Federation-style home, which unfolds in spectacular fashion across a supremely private 971sqm (approx.) lifestyle block enhanced with city views and low-maintenance grounds.
A flawless celebration of heritage architecture, 'Queenscliff' - a peerless five-bedroom plus study family home sited on one of the highest points along Gilbert Road with surrounding district views - balances the timeless quality and attention to detail of yesteryear within a thoughtfully renovated two-storey floorplan featuring formal and communal living areas, deluxe bathrooms and a magnificent lifestyle backyard catering for large-scale entertaining and poolside relaxation.
That essence of vintage living radiates throughout the intricately detailed interior reflecting period integrity and authenticity with 12ft ceilings - some of which are delicately designed - stained glass windows, three original fireplaces, antique switches and a striking entrance hallway crafted with a finely detailed archway and polished timber floorboards.
Stage formal gatherings in the opulent formal lounge and dining rooms, and enjoy the relaxed indoor-outdoor design of the vast open-plan living domain (with modern timber kitchen), which accesses the fully paved lifestyle backyard intentionally designed for family enjoyment. Featuring an inviting gas/solar-heated swimming pool, gas-heated spa and an adjacent pool house with a BBQ kitchen, bathroom and access to a large wine cellar, not only does it provide a taste of resort living - it's a rare asset for an inner-city home of such scale.
A large and private rumpus/fifth bedroom upstairs with balcony access gives the kids the freedom to play their games without disturbing other members of the household, while all the remaining bedrooms (downstairs master bedroom with full ensuite and built-in robe) and a bright family bathroom offer family comfort and convenience.
Climate-controlled with central heating, evaporative cooling and a refrigerated air-conditioning unit in the family room, this grand and glorious home also features an abundance of storage space, large laundry, remote four-car garage with a heavy duty five-tonne moveable hoist/crane, long driveway with a remote wrought-iron gate for additional secure off-street parking, 22,500-litre in-ground concrete water tank that services the back area of the house and plenty more.
Located within easy walking distance of Gilbert Road and Nicholson Street trams, bus services and the Merri Creek Trail and only minutes to Bell train station, Preston Market, Coburg Hill Shopping Centre and numerous schools, don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to view and secure one of Preston's most iconic homes.
