A peaceful and pretty street in prestigious Clayfield is the setting for this classically beautiful family residence. Situated on a remarkable 1700m2 of landscaped grounds, featuring a swimming pool and tennis court, the home enjoys an ideal North-East orientation and multiple areas for entertaining.
Originally built around the 1940′s, the home has undergone a tasteful renovation which has preserved its timeless character and maximised the potential for entertaining and modern family living.
A welcoming front verandah precedes an elegant interior; beginning with a formal foyer which separates the formal living and dining to the right and fifth bedroom to the left.
The combined formal lounge and dining room is situated on the northern side of the home and features a traditional fireplace, wide timber floors and french doors opening to a verandah.
The large, gourmet kitchen is a highlight of the home. It is central to both the formal and casual living rooms and features crisp, white cabinetry and stainless steel bench tops. It incorporates a full complement of quality stainless steel appliances including 2 x Smeg ovens, gas cooktop and Miele dishwasher. An expansive island, showcasing stunning Calacutta marble, offers seating for casual meals.
To the rear of the kitchen is a huge family room. Ideal for all-age recreation, it offers plenty of space for a pool table and opens to a sunny north-facing courtyard. The courtyard is very private and catches the best of the warm winter sunshine.
The fully equipped laundry, with extensive storage, is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen and has direct access to outside.
A home office is also situated on the ground level and a bathroom is discreetly located off the hallway.
On the southern side, an enormous covered deck runs almost the length of the home. Large enough to host the most elaborate of parties, it spills over to a huge terrace which adjoins the architecturally designed pool house. Intended to provide year-round enjoyment, the 15m salt water pool is enclosed by a poly-carbonate roof which allows and abundance of light and protection from debris.
The pool house includes a separate recreation room with bathroom. Currently utilised as guest quarters, it offers the flexibility to also function as teenage retreat or nanny accommodation.
A tennis court, with a perfect north-south orientation and synthetic surface, complete the amazing outdoor facilities.
The upper level of the home accommodates four family bedrooms. The master bedroom features parquetry floors and a newly renovated ensuite. It offers a perfect north-east aspect and boasts views to the bay and receives lovely breezes.
