Being offered for sale for only the second time in 88 years, the sophisticated and elegant ‘Santa Maria’ is a rare opportunity to secure one of Wagga’s finest and more unique properties. Constructed in 1929 the home is one of only a few grand homes built of this genre at the time.
On entering the foyer which then gives way to the north facing formal sitting room, this stunning space has Cyprus flooring, open fireplace, with all the original features being retained and in immaculate condition. The formal dining room flows seamlessly from here, via original double art deco sliding doors and again features period fireplace, double hung timber windows, and quite simply would be the most wonderful room to hold a dinner party!!! Both these spaces are a living testament to the quality and workmanship of a bygone era.
Adjacent to these formal rooms lies the the spacious and well appointed kitchen/informal family room. This striking extension, while contemporary, melds beautifully with the original ‘Santa Maria’ by way of repetition of solid timber doors and windows and high ceilings, complemented by more contemporary inclusions, such as the polished concrete floor; granite bench tops and extensive solid Ash cabinetry. The sitting room has a wonderful ambience of its own and overlooks and opens out to the south facing rear entertaining area.
The home has four generous bedrooms all with built in wardrobes; stunning double hung windows, ornate cornicing and soaring nine foot ceilings.
The main bathroom has been renovated with a modern and stylish overhaul. The home is further serviced by a secondary bathroom which was installed within the large laundry as an inclusion in the extension.
The large 923.2m2 block on which the home occupies is extensively landscaped including a lovely covered pergola which enjoys a sheltered southern aspect; inground swimming pool; separate studio/office, extra living room, “garden rooms” and tiered lawns. The street aspect of the home has a lovely north facing porch which is framed by two exquisite Frangipani trees. There is a large double garage situated to the rear of the property with extra storage and a further carport with remote controlled door on the side providing drive through rear yard access.
The property is located in close proximity to the Wagga Wagga CBD, there are well-regarded primary and high schools within easy walking distance and the home is close-by to excellent medical services.
