Strolling through this charming, original sandstone villa, you’ll want to become part of the warmth and history etched in its walls. Boasting lofty ceilings, ornate features, polished timber floors and natural light, this prestigious home has a simple, welcoming feel. All four luxuriously sized bedrooms and a formal lounge lead off from the arched hallway, three of which feature original, working fireplaces. The main bedroom includes an attached dressing room or office at your desire, and a walk through wardrobe to en-suite with heritage tiling, bath and timber furnishings. The kitchen is thoroughly planned with all European appliances and enviable amounts of cupboard space.

The back half of the house is made to live and enjoy. The vast family room adjoining the casual dining is beautifully constructed featuring raked timber ceiling and double French doors opening to the dappled courtyard. But the cellar underneath is where the real surprise awaits. Made for a wine connoisseur, just trying to fill this cellar, which almost equals the size of the above living room, will be a worthy challenge. For those looking for extra storage, or even a unique extra bedroom, this space of some 40m2 will accommodate any stretch of the imagination.

When entertaining friends, the greatest challenge will be asking them to leave the vine covered and red brick courtyard. Edged by well-kept yard and citrus trees, plus a hidden and well sized garage/workshop around the side, this is where Sunday afternoons and that substantial wine cellar will be put to good use. The superior property is situated on a generous allotment of 721m2 on the fringe of the CBD. Properties like these are as rare as they are beautiful and will certainly attract keen interest.
