Steeped in local history, this classic Victorian weatherboard, c.1887, was once dubbed by its creator ‘the pretty villa”, on a level north facing acre – a rare and special property. Significantly added to and extensively renovated in recent times, there simply is not enough room to adequately describe this vast family home.

Four bedrooms in the main house and two in the completely self-contained apartment above the garage. Elegant and stylish formal and informal living areas, a gorgeous TV/media room with built-in bookcases and a double sided Cheminees Philippe fireplace, one of four fireplaces in the house, plus one outdoor in the sheltered internal courtyard. Beautiful office with library bookcases.

A glorious country kitchen with 140cm wide black Ilve range, thick stone counter tops, massive island bench boasting lots of cupboards and drawers. Ceiling heights vary, but mostly 10ft. and then approximately a 20ft. mansard ceiling in the informal section of the house. Hydronic heating and reverse cycle airconditioning. A beautiful indoor heated lap pool has three banks of bi-fold doors opening to the sunny north.
