An exquisite property, the kind of which is seldom offered to the market, this stately c.1890 residence, Wellington’, presents a lifestyle of heritage and modernism harmoniously fused into one.
Boasting a corner position and entry via Ormond Street, this home on 1,620m2 will instantly impress with its commanding faade and front timber steps which lead you onto an expansive wraparound verandah.
Generously proportioned and maintaining period elements from a bygone era, enter inside into the striking formal living and dining rooms. Showcasing soaring high ceilings, polished timber floors, VJ walls, decorative plasterwork, chandeliers, French doors and fireplace, the warmth and stature of this inviting space is perfectly suited to those who enjoy formal entertaining.
Accessed via the French doors and also an element of the original design, the lavishly sized wraparound verandah offers an additional entertaining area and spans three sides of the property, while a second private verandah is positioned as to overlook the tennis court.
Blending old world with new, the home has undergone an outstanding tri-level modern addition at the rear of the property. Featuring a gourmet kitchen complete with stone benchtops, island bench, sleek cabinetry and a suite of high-end Miele appliances including dual ovens and integrated coffee machine, this culinary space also features a large butler’s pantry with additional Miele Dishwasher and second dining area.
Moving down the stairs, a second living room reveals a stylish design complete with electric fireplace and feature concrete wall, a spectacular modern addition to this grand residence.
Presenting outdoor zones just as impressive as the interiors, from this living room flow out via bi-fold doors to the sparkling pool with lounge area, or to the chic and enviable entertainer’s alfresco space.
