OWNER RELOCATING
The timeless grace of Mediterranean architecture is captured to perfection in this classical Main River home, set appropriately in one of the area’s most exclusive, waterfront cul de sacs. Adjoining prestigious Isle of Sorrento and only a stroll from neighbourhood shopping and dining, the 1237m2 property is positioned on a wide main river bend. An ornate iron security gate gives access to an arched colonnade beside the pool on the way to the entry, which features imposing studded timber doors.
Entering the home is like stepping into a romantic bygone era, with floors of hand-crafted terracotta tiles, tall fanlight windows and Juliet balconies overlooking the living area from upstairs. Cedar French doors open to both the spacious riverside entertaining terrace, exquisite gardens and the sun-dappled pool courtyard. The formal dining room has a servery from the adjoining kitchen, which features a parquet floor, russet granite benchtops and European appliances. Adjacent is a second large dining room with an open fireplace and a vaulted ceiling hand painted in an heraldic shield pattern.
A waterfront wing houses a luxurious guest suite featuring a walk-in robe and travertine marble ensuite complete with bidet and spa. Interior stairs lead down to a large rumpus room opening to waterfront facilities, including boat and jet ski lifts. The rumpus room incorporates a home theatre system, complete with surround sound. The library on the ground floor houses a second home theatre system. Warmed by a gas log fire, it has a cosy window seat for reading and gazing out to the river. A charming guest room or studio adjoins, with private ensuite and a view to the pool. Wide carpeted stairs rise from the foyer to three river-view bedrooms, all with ensuites tiled in imported marble. The palatial master suite features a huge private terrace with river views from the mountains to the city towers.
The master dressing room offers dedicated his and her areas plus a separate luggage room. The home also has a large office with space for a board room table, which could easily convert to a separate apartment for a grandparent or teen. More than a unique and beautiful home, this large riverfront property is also a premier investment.
