History Can Repeat!

When our intrepid owners lost their historic 100yr old brick villa during the EQs they ingeniously retained the beautifully established gardens surrounding the house and lovingly maintained them. Concept plans were made with Richard Ormsby from X Design Architects, and their new executive residence carefully constructed, without compromising the garden. Completed in 2015, this immaculate home presents almost as new, but lies connected and entwined in a time-honoured classical Italianate landscape. Strikingly modern from the street, the façade belies the private hidden sanctuary within. Vast open plan living with seemingly acres of gleaming white tiles unfold to paved patios and the outdoors.

The garden is a visual feast of 'rooms' within 'rooms', a succession of which offer a multiple choice of seating, dining, and play! Lush Magnolia frame the near and far, and there is plenty of room for a pool. Close to the house a louvered roof and adaptable curtains shelter outdoor dining for use almost year round. This is a sumptuous home of more than 300sqm, with many deluxe extras, details of which are too numerous to list here, but rest assured there is remarkable attention to detail and quality of finish. You can't fail to be impressed with the chef's kitchen and adjoining scullery, the separate 'media room', oversized double garaging, and eight solar panels on the roof helping with power consumption. Upstairs the master suite is in a wing of its own with a huge north facing balcony, a full bathroom, and bespoke joinery in the walk-in-robe.

Location speaks for itself in a popular Merivale street an easy stroll to the Mall and all that the village offers in boutique shopping and an array of dining options. If schooling is a priority, then you are well placed with a choice of Elmwood or St Albans for primary, Heaton Intermediate, followed by CGHS and CBHS. Our sellers have lived on this glorious site for almost thirty years, and are sad to leave, but are pragmatic about the necessity of a move to a home to suit their requirements. This is a property which must be experienced. Come and see. We know you won't be disappointed!
