Only on a rare occasion does a property like this become available to the market. Steeped in over 125 years of history, this elegant, expansive family home is situated on 893sqm and positioned in the heart of high side Chelmer. Boasting a floor plan that is unparalleled, this home is perfectly suited for large families, offering separation and privacy on each of the three levels. Multiple living options and entertaining areas are found throughout this architectural masterpiece.
The x-factor to this property is the cleverly designed, fully self-contained guests residence, situated at the front of the property. It features an enormous rumpus room/gym with soaring cathedral ceilings plus three bedrooms, a bathroom, second living space and kitchen. This guests residence could also become a source of income in the way of rental return.
This impressive home is complimented by equally impressive gardens. The property features a large fish pond, a sparkling in-ground pool and an array of flora that provides a tropical resort style feel.
Leading from the guests residence to the main family home you walk through a beautifully appointed breezeway that provides access to level one of the home. You are initially greeted by a formal living and dining area, which leads through to the recently updated kitchen and expansive open plan informal living and dining area. The beautifully renovated kitchen features stone benchtops, a large breakfast bar and stainless steel European appliances. Flowing out from the kitchen is a large covered entertaining area, which is perfect for year round entertaining. Two bedrooms and the main bathroom complete this level on of the home.
On the second level of the home is a very private parents retreat. This room features beautiful polished timber floors, large renovated ensuite and private balcony overlooking the pool area.
The ground floor of the home features a great sized living room, two more rooms, which are serviced by a modern bathroom with spa-bath and shower. This level provides access to the alfresco outdoor area and swimming pool.
