Rising from its prominent Croydon corner, a grand and gloriously ornate Return Verandah villa meets a bold 2021 extension scribed by none other than Think Architects. The result; a timeless family home that honours its heritage while leaping unapologetically into the present.
The villa's front half holds the grace of its century. Four bedrooms (one ensuited) and two bathrooms are wrapped in detail - soaring ceilings, timber floors burnished by time, shimmering chandeliers, ceiling roses and cornices in intricate relief, and fireplaces that add warmth as well as memory.
The extension suddenly shifts the mood entirely. Living unfolds across a broad open space, where cooking and gathering are elevated by design.
Double ovens, twin induction cooktops, AEG appliances, dual integrated dishwashers, a butler's pantry and a hidden coffee bar all sit beneath seamless stone, making the kitchen as refined as it is practical. The true focal point.
Glass sliders peel away to an alfresco pavilion complete with outdoor kitchen, Beefeater barbecue, wok burner, fridge, electric blinds and this year's Christmas celebrations on its wish list.
The outlook lands on a heated magnesium pool with integrated nine-person spa, irrigated gardens and an outdoor shower to forge a setting that feels more resort than suburbia.
Practicality underpins the glamour with underfloor heating to tiled zones, zoned Wi-Fi controlled ducted air, 3-phase power, filtered water, perimeter security, triple carport and ample storage. A home of true substance, held with exceptional care by just its second custodians.
At King Street, heritage, architecture and lifestyle align. A rare villa that honours its past while staging a confident future, set within a history-laden and community-minded pocket that celebrates Croydon's enduring character.
