Flawless Family Excellence with Poolside Indulgence

An inspired Bayside masterpiece of captivating beauty, this idyllic 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom (plus study) family home is delightfully defined by elegant Arts and Crafts artistry in balance with contemporary comfort. Making a grand statement on a commanding corner site over approximately 842m2, this graceful twin-level property is a cut above in style and flow.

Each substantial space tells its own story with a pair of character-rich and flexible formal rooms up front under intricate decorative ceilings. Enjoy an unmistakable feeling of intimacy in these timber-detailed living and dining zones, perfect for entertaining on any scale you wish. A masterfully planned home with generous proportions and scale, the home sensationally opens up with light-filled open-plan living and dining, underpinned by a light and bright kitchen showcasing a freestanding Falcon oven, high-performing Asko dishwasher, and an Italian Carrara marble island bench finished in rich Jarrah.

Designed and styled for easy living, an inclusive harmony between the interior and exterior almost coaxes you into the fresh air. Spill out to a showpiece pool and a pair of slate-tiled terraces, complemented by a built-in Beef Eater BBQ on mains gas, a drinks fridge, and a landscaped garden anchored by an established Robinia Frisia providing exemplary shelter and shade. Optimising privacy yet open to northern light, this refined sanctuary of space shares a singular warmth that works exceptionally well for everyday living and memorable entertaining.

Still on the ground floor, a sunlit bedroom is framed by a curved parade of windows and superbly serviced by a deluxe bathroom with a walk-in shower. A nearby home office could easily be refashioned as a fifth bedroom with a delightful vertical garden aspect. Alive with personality, the distinctive polish is replicated upstairs under soaring ceilings with the remaining trio of roomy and robed bedrooms. The palatial master suite comes complete with extensive walk-in robes and an adjacent bathroom, while the principal bathroom is graced with a sumptuous bath and separate walk-in shower. This first-floor setting is further enhanced by a vast retreat warmed by a gas fireplace.

Built in 1927 with an architectural palette reflecting Arts and Crafts, English Revival and Art Deco design, value-adding period features include intricate cornice work, artfully applied ceilings, original timber cabinetry with woven silk and cotton inlays, Tasmanian oak flooring, exquisite period lighting and wall sconces, bay windows, picture rails, towering ceilings, and an inspired use of timber and slate.

Comprehensive features of this special property include a large laundry with an upstairs chute, a first-floor powder room, monitored alarm, heating/cooling throughout, an irrigation system, a remote-controlled 2-car garage offering substantial storage capabilities, and so much more.

Lovingly preserved, flawlessly restored and immaculately presented with irresistible lifestyle appeal for Bayside families, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare opportunity in a pure position of privilege.
