Situated in a prestigious and quiet tree-lined avenue, “Carlton House” and “Carlton Cottage” combine the benefits of an historic home replete with period character and contemporary living with a modern, fully independent cottage on its own strata title.
Stepping through the private gate to the sandstone-paved front yard of “Carlton House”, established greenery frame the entrance and veranda. Upon entry to the home, the grand hallway showcases the high ceilings and polished timber floorboards throughout.
From the hallway at the front of the home, two glorious sitting rooms are located, each with gas fireplaces. Ideal for formal entertaining, dining, or a cosy living space, each room features large windows that look out across the majestic tree-lined avenue.
Each room on the lower level leads into the next with the interconnected floorplan allowing you to make your way around the home with ease. The study, or home office, with fireplace and ornate chandelier, could easily become an additional ground-floor bedroom for guests.
A light-filled living room to the rear of the residence enjoys floor-to-ceiling glass doors with triangle windows stretching to the roof for optimum natural light. This room enjoys direct access to the courtyard and gardens.
Through to the kitchen, the convict brick feature wall sets the tone for contemporary yet rustic dining. Timber benchtops, including an island, and classic white cabinetry provide ample room for meal preparation and storage. Quality stainless-steel appliances complete the kitchen, including a dishwasher, oven, gas cooktop, rangehood and fridge.
The combined dining area is ideal for entertaining with doors opening into the al fresco courtyard. Conveniently, a powder room with shower, vanity and WC is located on the lower level.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms are located, each with built-in wardrobes and wall-mounted panel heating. The master suite enjoys floor-to-ceiling mirrors and an ornamental mantle.
Consistent style and the polished antique timber flooring extend into the stylish upstairs bathroom. It’s spacious, with a bath, shower, vanity with ample bench and storage space and a further WC. Conveniently, the laundry – with plenty of space for appliances and storage – is neatly tucked within the bathroom.
Downstairs once more, the brick-paved courtyard provides the ideal location for outdoor entertaining with a built-in BBQ and the lush gardens boast an abundance of greenery, blooming florals and trees.
Alongside, with separate access, lies “Carlton Cottage”, a modern, 2 bedroom strata-titled home in its own right. Here, you’ll find a modern kitchenette with ample bench and cupboard space, a sink and under-bench dishwasher and a spacious living/dining space.
Upstairs, the mezzanine level features a spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Also located on the upper level, a modern bathroom with shower, vanity and WC. Downstairs once again, the rear of the cottage boasts a sunny entertaining space outside on the private, fenced and decked courtyard. There’s ample room for outdoor furniture under the leafy trees and low-maintenance surrounds. Off-street parking is provided within the private driveway at the front of the home.
