Stunningly unique and a picture of liveability, this 5BR house has to be seen to be believed. Designed in the early 50s and since updated with second storey and basement, it covers a mighty 1272sqm double block and epitomises originality. Open the large wooden front door and you are immediately confronted by an atrium bursting with plant life. Originally open to the elements, it has since acquired a half-cylinder shaped glass roof, making it a true show-stopper.
But the conversation won?t end there. Two living areas abut the atrium ? one to the east and one to the west. With floor to ceiling windows, both offer views of the well-manicured, thoroughly vegetated gardens. Adjoining the rear living area is a spacious open plan kitchen featuring marble-topped benches and the finest cooking appliances from Gaggenau - just what you need for whipping up scrumptious meals to serve your guests. They will sit stunned by the view from the dining room, for one side houses a semi-circular window offering a different perspective of the atrium. If that?s not enough, wait until you see the bathroom beside the spacious and cool master bedroom (BIR). It practically jumps from the pages of Home Beautiful. Light pours through the massive half-cylinder glassed roof. This highlights the gigantic centrepiece spa with views of a private garden via daring floor to ceiling windows. Complementing this are pristine white tiles, black slate walls and stand alone basins along with a recessed shower and private toilet. Hidden discreetly between the front door and rear living area is the second bedroom. With plenty of storage (BIR), Venetian blinds, air conditioning and its own en suite, it would make the ideal guest room. Up the central spiral staircase you?ll find the remaining three bedrooms (BIRs) - two with air conditioning and one with a large paved balcony overlooking the backyard. And what a backyard it is ? a solar heated pool, beautifully arranged garden and a large, tiled undercover al fresco dining area. However, the entertainment doesn?t end there. A colossal and cool basement billiard room rounds out the perfect entertainer with heritage. This fantastic offering will certainly buoy your enthusiasm for Beaumaris.
