Named after the Esk river in Yorkshire, this timeless home was christened Eskdale by the newly emigrated owners in 1907. Whilst not much is known of the original family, the home has been lovingly restored to its former glory and most recently used as a Bed & Breakfast of the same name. This fastidious attention to detail and emphasis on restoring the history of the building have guided the current owners in their care of the home and it is on full display as your walk through the beautiful Eskdale residence.
Firstly, you will notice that each room has been independently styled, with each door adorned with its unique room number. Conjuring an atmosphere of Victorian hospitality, the colour scheme flows throughout the home so far as to allow a common theme whilst obliging each room to add a mischievous dab of colour interplay creating their own character and identity. This is not just another home; Eskdale is genuinely a piece of living history in the centre of a thriving cultural metropolis.
The high ceilings throughout the property give a sense of space and freshness in each room. Large windows, French doors opening to the front and back porch and the grand central corridor allow for air flow throughout the home.
The kitchen is well thought out and is well appointed with modern appliances. It even has a beautiful butlers window to pass drinks and food through to the formal dining area. The formal dining area allows for indoor/outdoor living with large French doors that open onto an elevated deck looking out over a well maintained, 40-meter back yard.
Downstairs there is a fully enclosed laundry and drying room, rumpus room or office and a fourth full bathroom.
The back yard is remarkable in its size for the area. Side access allows for possible addition of a pool in the back yard if so desired. The driveway allows for two angled undercover car spaces under the home (not legal height yet ample!).
Eskdale is a beautiful home, and it would be a pleasure to show you through. Such a well-maintained piece of history so close to the city is hard to come by. Contact me today on 0412 312 900 or email [email protected] for further information.
