Much like the famous series of novels, this home has a charm & history like no other. Sited within the footprint of the original Avonhead Homestead, you benefit from an outlook that encompasses the "borrowed landscape" of neighbouring trees, whose roots date back to the city's founding fathers.

Tightly held within the same family for over 50 years, our owners' roots also run deep - having raised their three children here, it's been a haven and hub of many happy memories.

Like our clients, the property has evolved and grown over time - early renovations were the precursors for a magnificent 1996 extension, masterminded by the late architect Jonty Rout, which expanded the home's footprint to 340m2. Included in the extension was a brilliant entertainer's kitchen, not to mention a fabulous loft space - much loved as a design studio, it now lends itself to a multiplicity of uses. With a well-configured mixture of sleeping and living quarters, there is space for all ages and stages.

With owners passionate about garden design, you can be sure the 1,394m2 north-facing grounds are something very special - designed by our clients, in conjunction with Michele Hickman, it contains surprises around every corner. From clipped buxus hedges to trailing ivy and an ornamental grape arbor, every angle of this botanical sanctuary offers a new and equally captivating outlook.

Add to this the practicality of the location: so close to schools, shops, parks & services; just like our clients, you'll never want to leave! Allow ample time to soak up the ambience and atmosphere of this truly unique home.

Don't wait for the open homes, lest it be sold prior to the scheduled auction date, call me today and experience the magic for yourself.
