A Historic Home Of Enormous Grace On Land Of Approx.1642sqm
Concealed from public view by the perfumed wisteria that trains its wide veranda and framed by the shade of a strand of trees that line its boundaries, this fine property includes many of the grand elements of a great home as it deservingly would have been a centre of social engagement and entertainment in Largs Bay in the early 1900′s. Even though its grandeur is clear, it is also understated and restrained, practical and easy to live in.
The fact that it has remained fully intact on its original estate is a testament to how, over the years, the owners have regarded themselves as custodians of the history and after thirty years of pleasurable living have finally decided to release the keys to a new owner – hopefully one who will continue with their own lengthy affair of this charming family home.
Behind the security of a high front fence and past the solid locked gate, first impressions are of a well-sheltered property, however that impression soon turns to awe as you step onto the front veranda and catch your first glimpse of this majestic lady. Her red brick walls framing the generous, lead light adorned, front entrance.
As you enter, the amount of internal space is immediately striking, a theme continued throughout the home, with room for all your guests in the pine floored entry hall. Looking back to the entrance you may see the notable lead light design is signed by its artist, Harold Vosz, over 100 years ago.
A modern addition completed in a complementary style has added a study or playroom etc and is accessible from the Mayfair room. The home further comprises four double or king-size bedrooms a second and cosy living room, two tastefully and timelessly renovated bathrooms. Great built in storage, dressing room and utility rooms make up the balance of the main dwelling.
Heating and cooling is provided by a combination of a three phase fully ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system and the option of a cosy combustion fire. A monitored alarm system ensures the security of the property.
At the rear the beauty of the climbing roses, more wisteria vines and a diverse array of attractive and perfumed plants and shrubs, make up the private paradise, that is so much an asset to the home, and an enhancement to the available lifestyle.
A sheltered veranda area at the rear of the home is the perfect spot to survey the garden, enjoy the shade and be cooled in summer by the sea breezes.
Cars are well catered for by the long tree lined driveway with side by side parking, a double width carport and double garage workshop (with pit). A secluded implement and equipment shelter is behind the garage.
A fully reticulated and automatically controlled watering system is supplemented by the availability of excellent bore water.
At the rear of the full size grass court there is a sheltered kiosk including wet bar and mains gas BBQ.
The Street is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the coastal strip and the lifestyle of the suburb, the peninsular and the advantage of one of suburban Adelaide’s best, sandiest beaches is a great reason to consider purchase.
