Presented to the market for the first time in over fifty years, this is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire a magnificent sandstone residence of immense charm and character on one of the most desirable of Medindie’s exclusive boulevards.

Built at the turn of last century, this elegantly disposed villa has retained its outstanding original architectural ornamentation, with a spacious and flexible footprint that has been seamlessly extended to cater for today’s contemporary lifestyle.

Standing proudly behind its original wrought iron and stone wall, the gracious façade is embraced by an enchanting garden and incorporates a grand central box bay, lace trimmed return veranda and timber embellished portico entrance.

The wide entrance hall, adorned with a superb stained glass window, fretwork arch and parquetry flooring, introduces the highly versatile floorplan that could be configured to suit one’s lifestyle requirements.

Currently, two generously proportioned reception rooms include a splendid sitting room with library shelving and resplendent dining room. Both feature side veranda access, ornate fireplaces and decorative roses.

Four bedrooms include the primary suite with ensuite and walk-in robe that wrap around an internal courtyard, and a guest room with ensuite and storage room.

In addition, a family bathroom with underfloor heating, a storeroom, and a dry cellar with wine racking and two access points.

Extended open plan living adds a contemporary edge to the home’s refined style. Warmed by a gas fire, casual living and dining are bathed in light from full length picture windows that overlook the pool.
The kitchen with a central limestone topped bench and Bosch appliances, is situated adjacent to a pantry/mudroom and fourth bathroom ideal for guests, and spills through French doors to the poolside pavilion and peaceful rear garden and lawn dappled by ornamental pears and a sculptural walnut tree.

At the end of a long wide driveway, the two car remote entry garage not only provides secure internal access but opens through concertina doors to the rear garden, thus creating an additional undercover entertaining area. An overhead loft provides extensive storage space.

This superb family home with its blue ribbon city fringe position and close proximity to Wilderness and the parklands presents an outstanding opportunity for the discerning buyer in this tightly held enclave. Early inspection is highly recommended.
