Steeped in history with the grand proportions and elegance of yesteryear this magnificent 4-6 bedroom homestead, built by Albert Holloway, dates back to 1891.
Enjoying blissful privacy on almost approx 1 acre of beautifully landscaped gardens hidden behind tall clipped hedges you will hardly believe this property is located directly opposite the beach and just the shortest of strolls to the McCrae shopping Plaza, Yacht club and a choice of popular local cafes and restaurants.
Proudly boasting all the architectural details and charm of a bygone era including intricate iron lacework, timber sash windows, wraparound verandas and original Baltic pine flooring, this stunning residence has also benefited from a substantial renovation by luxury home building specialist Steve Smith to now offer 60 squares of luxurious living space in manicured surrounds with a sparkling in-ground pool and indulgent entertaining Pavilion.
Enter to the original house where the ground floor offers two graceful, spacious sitting rooms with original fireplaces, currently configured as a billiards room and guest bedroom. Upstairs finds an opulent parent's retreat with large bedroom, sitting room with splendid views to Arthur's Seat and elegant bathroom complete with clawfoot bath.
Connecting the old to the new is a striking industrial-style galley kitchen with stainless steel benchtops, double St George ovens and rustic walk-in pantry/wine cellar that opens to a vast, light-drenched open-plan living/dining area with a limestone-clad fireplace and Italian travertine flooring throughout. Doors open to the garden and to a delightful inner courtyard with soothing water features guaranteed to ease away the day's stresses.
The new wing boasts 2 large bedrooms with fitted robes, a study with built-in desks, luxurious resort-style bathroom with floor-to-ceiling travertine tiles, Italian tapware, walk-in shower and freestanding bath, huge custom-fitted laundry with drying cupboard & TV connection, 2 powder rooms, and a large home theatre room/rumpus with bespoke cabinetry.
This impressive property also includes a separate 2-bed, 1-bath cottage with own entrance, currently one of Rosebud's most successful Airbnb rentals turning over approximately $3000-4000 pcm.
Extra appointments include a sensational alfresco entertaining area with outdoor fireplace, kitchen & pizza oven, a gas heated, salt-chlorinated pool & spa, double lock-up garage with adjoining utility/storage room, triple carport, ducted heating & cooling, underfloor heating, perimeter alarm, automatic front gates, bore water, and landscaped park-like gardens with mature trees and golf chipping hole.
