Some things are meant to be said The King – Elvis Presley, around the time this unique property was built. And that’s what you’ll be thinking when you enter this, your new home.
On the market for the first time in 40 years, this home, designed by architect John De Bruyn, is built in the shape of an artist’s palette. Today, retaining all its original fixtures and fittings, except in the updated kitchen and bathroom, the home oozes 60′s cool and offers a blank canvas from which to inject your very own sense of hipster. Original parquetry floors, timber paneling on the walls, stonework around the gas fireplace, and near floor-to-ceiling windows that drink in the amazing views, are just some of the features of this truly one-of-a-kind property.
At the rear of the home, you’ll find three substantial bedrooms, all with built-ins and a lovely aspect to the lush, low maintenance garden. A large bathroom with shower and ample storage has dual access from the master bedroom and the hallway.
Still on the upper level, at the front of the home, relax in the combined living/ dining room, kitchen or on the wraparound verandah, all of which offer those incredible 180 degree River Derwent views sure to impress at your housewarming party. The well equipped kitchen features a dishwasher, 5-burner gas cook top, and plenty of bench space for preparing for the shrimp cocktails and cheese fondue.
On the lower level, there is an enormous rumpus room with original kitchenette and a bedroom with ensuite perfect for when the party guests need a crash pad for the night. With direct access to the in-ground solar heated salt water pool, they’ll have the perfect fresh start in the morning.
A large garage and workshop completes this incredible package. This home is a real showstopper, so don your purple turtleneck and call for your inspection today.
