The story behind this lavish home is one of heritage and tradition. Lived in and loved by a local family for decades, this character four bedroom residence, circa 1900, beautifully projects the past into the present. This abode has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who uncovered timeless treasures such as ceiling rosettes, and intricate fireplaces with sculpted angels and other Victorian-era accents. The floors are gleaming Nordic Baltic pine, the ceilings are high and the feeling here is one of modern nostalgia. Discover four spacious bedrooms as well as a well-equipped home office with plenty of storage. The open plan living, dining and kitchen leads to a lovely level lawn that faces north, combining a stylish design aesthetic with the subtle interplay of nature. The kitchen is particularly inviting, with a vast island bench, hints of bold ebony in the lighting and tapware, and a sleek wine fridge and rack for your collection. Upstairs, the master bedroom captures the gentle northern aspect and a secluded luxury. For busy modern living, this house has it all: a huge internal laundry with extra shower and WC, plus downlights, ceiling fans and high-end appliances. Cleverly placed skylights coax light into the space, and the large bathroom with huge walk-in rain shower and full bath is a gorgeous, sunshine-filled retreat. Don't miss viewing this unique home brimming with character and modern convenience in a covetable enclave in Botany. Its well-loved luxurious rooms and corners are filled with happy memories for its current owners, and they can't wait to hand it over for new adventures.
