Character With A Contemporary Twist

This glorious apartment style residence is a delectable option for someone looking for an unconventional space to inhabit.
This turn of the century double story villa with its vast sprawling rooms are filled with the character and charisma of the era showcasing a most empathetic restoration. Where modern amenities abound, rich classic elements such as timber flooring, Italian handmade tiles, an original fireplace and detailed wooden architraves, pay homage to the original beauty. This is perfect territory for a busy family.
Four enormous bedrooms on the ground floor provide family harmony with roomy bathrooms, cavernous wardrobes and storage cupboards. But it is up the staircase to the second floor where the home really exhilarates. Encircled by original sash windows on all sides, the expansive layout basks in lovely sunlight and neighbourhood views throughout. Here high ceilings and timber details again nod to the home's origins, while modern updates make it a sanctuary of contemporary living. A 'contemporary farmhouse' kitchen and dining/living fill one side of the house with windows end to end opening to the north onto a terrace for all day sun. Opposite the mood changes and a more formal living space is a charming refuge.
There is much of the current owner's creative skill on show here, a real bonus for the impending buyer. But perhaps the real 'windfall' will be the opportunity afforded by the certain sale looming.
Our sellers have gone their separate ways and parting with this property is inevitable.
All serious buyers should inspect. This must be sold! Property ID: #ST7599
