PRIVATE INSPECTIONS ONLY
On the crest of prestigious Richmond Hill, just meters from Bridge Road's dynamic buzz, a long leafy driveway transports you back to a piece of our Colonial history. An unexpected surprise on more than 1092sqm approx., magnificent 'Malahide' c.1855 boasts landmark status surrounded by superb Parisian style gardens that ensure privacy, tranquility and exclusivity, incredibly only moments from the CBD and every inner city amenity. Built by architect James Blackburn Junior in the early Italianate style, meticulous renovation works by its current owners and architect George Hatzisavas have sympathetically restored and stylishly enhanced its refined period pedigree creating a beautifully elegant and certainly unique modern living environment within its genteel traditional dimensions. Behind its impressive facade and columned portico entry, glorious originality defines gracious formal entertaining domains, one with bay window seating and open fire, the other with gas open fire, before stylishly extended open plan zones provide relaxed family living/ dining aside a smeg appointed kitchen with stainless steel bench tops. Four upstairs bedrooms include the substantial main with sitting, built in robes and open fire plus an ideal teen bedroom accessed via its own rear staircase. Two sleek and stylish bathrooms, one with freestanding bath and gas open fire, contribute consummate contemporary class whilst comfort and comprehensive security are delivered by hydronic heating, alarm and remote security gates. Outside, lush leafy plantings, a lawned garden beneath a romantic Peppercorn Tree and a secret rose and herb garden offer a peaceful country style ambience to a very special inner city lifestyle sanctuary with double carport, secure workshop/storage and multiple off street parking.
