There’s an understated elegance to this handsome, stucco-fronted home. Five spacious floors are enlivened with carefully considered furnishings and materials, for a thoroughly engaging family setting.
The open-plan dining room and kitchen is set up for entertaining, with sliding pocket doors subtly dividing the space. Pairing the old with the new, high ceilings with heritage cornicing mix with contemporary furnishings and striking antique mirrored walls. An eight-seater dining table and period fireplace create an atmospheric backdrop. A marble-topped island provides the centrepiece in the kitchen, framed on two sides by white cabinets and integrated Miele appliances. Extending the living space, an expansive terrace accessed from this floor stetches eastwards, enjoying plenty of light in the morning, with more shady spots in the afternoon.
Downstairs, family living continues into the sitting room. Groupings of sofas and armchairs are cosy spots for conversation, movie marathons or reading sessions. Natural light abounds, drawn through skylights spanning the length of the room. Nimble-fingered guests might enjoy the piano.
Completing the basement level, a bedroom with a queen-sized bed sits towards the front of the house. It enjoys private access to the outside, as well as custom storage and a bathroom complete with a walk-in shower. The utility room can be accessed through the bedroom.
On the first floor, the formal reception room is a sophisticated affair. Ornate period features and a Murano clear glass barbell chandelier adorn the ceiling, accentuating lofty heritage proportions. Vast sash windows illuminate a myriad of interior details, from a grand fireplace and eye-catching artwork to an expansive sofa made for relaxing. Grab a book or boardgame and settle down for the evening or take advantage of the Sky box. Detached discreetly from the rest of the room is a study; lit by another large sash window it provides a corner of calm.
Up the floating staircase, a balcony can be accessed on the ascent to the next floor – a private sanctuary for coffee in the morning sun.
Occupying the entire second floor is the principal bedroom suite. Tonal décor, a wood-framed four-posted bed and wall-to-wall custom wardrobes afford an elegant character to the sunlit setting. Air conditioning ensures this is a room for all seasons. Through double doors, a vanity with dual sinks awaits in the en suite bathroom, alongside a bathtub and enticing shower.
Two additional bedrooms are spread across the top floor, both with queen beds. Characteristic of the home’s interior style, they are finished with white walls and contrasting wood floors with splashes of jewel tones. A bathroom finished in pale pink tiles, crowned with intricate cornicing and a skylight, serves both rooms.
