Enviably placed where prestigious, tree-lined Queen Street reaches its calmest point is a C1900 symmetrical sandstone villa that was extended to double down on its rare sense of refuge so close to the CBD.
A timely reminder that nothing beats the stark contrast of opposing eras, the way the delightful original home suddenly morphs into a north-facing, architectural entertainer is something to savour.
The transition between the two sections is as smooth as the 5-minute stroll from The Parade to the front door of this flexible home with multiple living zones and four bedrooms, one with an ensuite and your name written all over it.
Baltic pine floors, lofty ceilings and ornate ceilings get better with age, while your finest drops literally age into fine wines thanks to your very own underground cellar.
Pop open a bottle, pour a glass for yourself and another for that dish you're cooking in the updated open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops, a curved breakfast bar, quality stainless steel appliances and prime position at the head of that boundless addition.
Raked ceilings rise to sky-high windows, ushering bucket loads of light, beckoning you to step outside and onto the decked pavilion, just steps from a wood fire pizza oven.
Don't feel like cooking? Simply roll up on foot to 400 Gradi, Arkhe or any of those Norwood stalwarts if you haven't booked a table in the East End. Make sure you stop for an ice cream at Messina on the way home and savour the moment. There's many more to come.
