Last Listing description (March 2022)
Built in 1902 as the Grose Vale School's headmasters' residence, and rebuilt in 1945, this stunning property is positioned on 2,975sqm and is surrounded by gorgeous established gardens. The Dunlop family, the first occupants of the property, named the home 'Hillcrest' for its commanding position and 180-degree views over the Cumberland plain to the east.
Oozing with charm and character, the home offers wide wrap around verandahs with beautiful cedar French doors, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. The interior features high ceilings, original tallow wood timber floorboards and fireplace, ornate ceilings, cornice and ceiling roses.
Over the years, the property has been transformed into an entertainer's paradise with the construction of a pool house/games room and levelled terraces.
For those who love entertaining, this home offers an in-ground resort style saltwater swimming pool, multiple entertaining decks with views and is also positioned on a side road so there is ample off street parking for guests.
Surrounded by landscaped gardens, paved pathways and driveways and ornamental trees, the property feels like a resort style sanctuary with no direct neighbors creating a peaceful and private atmosphere.
Perfectly suited to those with multiple vehicles or small business to work from home, there is ample parking with a triple garage under the pool house, 4 bay carport and 8mx9m shed with mezzanine level and three phase power. Plenty of room to park the caravan and boat as well.
