A rare and exceptional opportunity in Claremont's river precinct, 'Chilvers House' (circa 1937) is a distinguished example of Marshall Clifton's architectural legacy.
This two-storey brick and tile residence, designed with Federation Arts and Crafts influences, features a steep-pitched clay tile roof, dormer windows, and a striking face brick gable parapet, complemented by a tall stepped limestone 'pillow' chimney - hallmarks of the Interwar Old English style.
Heritage Listed Category 2, set on a sprawling 1,169sqm subdivisible landholding with an incredible 40m frontage, this property offers outstanding development potential. With the double garage is not heritage listed, subdivision is highly viable while still retaining the grandeur of the original home.
From its charming north-facing English-style gardens to its preserved period features, Chilvers House exudes timeless appeal. Recent renovations have elevated it for contemporary living, seamlessly blending classic character with modern comfort.
At its heart, an expansive open-plan living area extends into a stunning gourmet kitchen, where a statement island bench overlooks the outdoor entertaining area and heated saltwater pool. Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, the kitchen boasts stone benchtops, European appliances, feature pendant lighting, and extensive custom cabinetry.
Behind it, a huge, light-filled scullery and laundry-serving as a butler's pantry - provides ample additional storage and includes a convenient kitchen hatch for easy access.
A separate family room, currently styled as a billiard room, offers flexibility as a home theatre, music studio, or children's playroom. Both this space and the kitchen open via French doors to the alfresco patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The beautifully manicured, fully fenced gardens ensure a secure and private retreat for children and pets, surrounded by mature fruit trees and native birdlife.
