Rare and imposing yet elegantly crafted and sensitively restored, this light-filled home in the heart of Double Bay delivers modern luxury in a truly peaceful setting. With convenient access to one of Sydney's most sought after village locales, this perfect family home occupies a prime corner position opposite Steyne Park and runs the entire length of Marathon Mews.
All Double Bay has to offer is at your fingertips. Double Bay Primary School is a short stroll away. Ascham and Cranbrook are close by. A one minute walk and you'll be at Double Bay ferry wharf or 18 Footers Sailing Club.
However, if you're entertaining, simply stay put. This home is an entertainer's dream. With an expansive 260 square metres of interconnected living, dining, entertaining and cooking areas, the home opens through French doors to reveal a porch and sunny, private front courtyard.
A rear living area opens through bi-fold doors to a tranquil private rear courtyard, and guests will appreciate the banquette dining room with adjoining casual sitting area.
Carrara marble finishes in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms complete an integrated design theme. Alpine ash and limestone flooring communicate a measured, understated elegance.
Fitted with European appliances, the kitchen boasts two sinks, large dual fuel oven plus additional induction cooktop, large walk-in pantry and space for two fridges. An internal laundry, guest bathroom with bidet and fitted study with built-in desk complete the downstairs level.
Head upstairs and the Double Bay harbour front captures your imagination.
With an additional 125 square metres on the top level, the home features a large self-contained master bedroom facing Steyne Park with water views, built-ins, dressing room and full sized double bathroom. There are two more double bedrooms, both with built-ins, one with a large sunny north facing balcony with cantilevered automatic electric awning. Another full sized bathroom completes the picture.
This ideal family home blends timeless original features with genuine modern comforts including a Jetmaster gas fireplace, reverse cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, halogen lighting, satellite TV connections, internet wiring and plenty of built-in storage.
A complete $1 million rebuild a few years ago, designed and project managed by architects Dukes + Associates, ensures all wiring, plumbing, floors and wall linings have been recently renewed and replaced.
