Built solidly from Kanmantu stone by master craftsmen, there is 377m2 of living area in this magnificent residence. The lower floor consists of a large kitchen with plenty of room for meals and informal family living (plus city views), an expansive formal dining and lounge area with slow combustion fire and a guest room with adjoining bathroom. A main feature of the ground floor is the exquisite original leadlights, carefully salvaged from the original home that give a cathedral-like entry to the foyer.
Upstairs there is good separation for the privacy of the parents with a large master bedroom, walk in robe, ensuite bathroom and study. In addition there is another informal living area (currently used for a billiard table), 3 more bedrooms and a 3-way bathroom. The billiard room has direct access to a wrought-iron decorated balcony, whilst the master bedroom and 2 other bedrooms have expansive views over the of the city to the coast.
For the car enthusiasts there is a double garage attached to the home with direct (all-weather) access to inside plus an additional 2 car shed.
The grounds of this residence are superb, with substantial rose gardens, a discreetly disguised 11,000 gallon rainwater tank (plumbed to the house), hundreds of square metres of well-kept paving and extensive stone retaining walls all covering approximately 4200 square metres of land.
