Lush treetops, never-ending south-westerly views of the Bay and beyond and a quiet hills stillness meet a masterfully updated, tri-level home on a stunningly landscaped 1108m2 allotment that blends contemporary class with the everlasting allure of well-chosen vintage touches. From the circa 1823 Scottish sink in the kitchen, to the 150-year old claw-foot bath, the handcrafted balustrades and balusters and the French chandelier, the home delivers a distinct warmth and an inviting ambience throughout with a thoughtful design that emanates character and a distinct style. Once a modest holiday shack, the artful transformation and extensions to this grand family home have been inspired by Australian Regency and classic Italianate architecture to create a masterpiece that will be a haven for an enviable lifestyle and lasting memories. Lap up family life or embrace self-imposed solitude in this majestic setting that features an abundance of space for large or multigenerational families, five lavishly sized bedroom retreats, four bathrooms (three ensuites), multiple living, dining and entertaining zones.
