Make history on the hill. Built by original Beaumaris landholder Samuel Judd in 1864, this substantial Hawthorn-brick slate-roofed home originally enjoyed substantial vistas to the bay from its highpoint position. Today the vast vistas are replaced by a bay glimpse ....and vastly versatile four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, dual zone living across a main home and cleverly linked separate accommodation set on a 763m2 (approx) elevated block.

Combining the beauty of yesterday with space for a modern family, this significant home retains all the grace of its rural estate origins, with lofty 3.5m ceilings, multiple fireplaces and panelled walls for the wide arched hallway. But it's clever contemporary living that makes this a grand family home; with lounge and dining rooms flowing through bi-folds to a vast covered al fresco area... and on to a large living zone within the detached reverse-cycle air-conditioned kids' quarters.

Starring a a state-of-the-art CaesarStone kitchen with a massive Belling range and luxe fully-tiled bathrooms incldung main, separate shower-room and a bluestone-walled designer bathroom, this solid-brick centrally heated home has plentiful parking on a bluestone driveway in a through-access garage and more entertaining space on a paved terrace beyond spectacular glass doors from the kids' zone. A walk to stations, shops and schools in a sea-breeze bay-glimpse position, this is the place to make family history!
