Built in 1886, “Holthenham” is one of the few remaining George Johnston Estate subdivisions and meticulous care over its substantial life span has it in absolutely mint condition. Among the many perfectly preserved original features are: Kauri pine floors, cedar joinery, all original (converted) whale-oil-fuelled light fittings, hand-painted Victorian over-mantles, four grand marble fireplaces and copper paint rails. With majestic proportions, breezy light-filled interiors and sympathetic updates including an atrium-style casual living/dining area adjacent to a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, this magnificent home also has the original stables structure at the rear of the property, complete with its stable door and refurbished lifting structure on the upper level. Ducted subfloor heating, back to base alarm and a substantial above-ground pool in a deep oasis garden, complete the modern family’s wish-list.
