So special, you'll never want to leave! Whether globe-trotting for weeks on end or enjoying a breezy daily commute to your city workplace, you'll love coming home to this warm and welcoming return-veranda villa, packed with exquisite character and featuring breathtaking 2003 additions modeled on London's Westminster Hall.
And the location is just perfect too: a gorgeous Jacaranda-lined street, strolling distance to beautiful parks - Heywood, Reade and Price Memorial Oval, buses to town, King William Road's food and fashion scene and trendy local cafes including The Pantry; equally well located for public and private schools, including Westbourne Park Primary and Scotch College.
With space for a family, the circa 1900 home offers four luxuriously-sized double bedrooms and two sparkling bathrooms including master with ensuite and walk-in robe, plus three separate living areas. Open-plan family spaces are perfect for parties; a cosy formal lounge charms with a working fireplace and winter-warming northerly aspect, and a large study whispers relaxation with a gas stove and bookshelves. This could also work as a fifth double bedroom, retreat or home office, with handy access via a separate entry off the side veranda; great for unloading kids and shopping too!
Relax and entertain beneath ornately-carved hammer beams in the family spaces, where sunlight pours through cedar-framed windows, doors and glazed gable ends, featuring two stunning stained-glass panels by celebrated Adelaide artist Cedar Prest. The warm tones of Sydney Blue Gum continue underfoot, with hydraulic trap-door access to a connoisseur's wine cellar.
Keen entertainers, step this way: the gorgeous modern kitchen has everything covered, combining quality Miele appliances - steam and standard ovens, gas and induction cook tops, and a dishwasher - with the timeless beauty of Cretaceous limestone (bench tops) from the Sinai Desert in Egypt.
In summer, french doors allow these free-flowing living spaces to spill out to generous veranda dining in leafy courtyard privacy. The gardens are as much a joy as the home, full of sensory delights and old-fashioned favourites such as wisteria, frangipani and roses.
A home so special you'll never want to leave; even when the kids have flown, stay on and fill it with visiting friends and grandkids. Now, there's a thought!
