Last Listing description (May 2017)
Superbly Extended & Renovated 1910 Villa on 871sqm.
The brief to Flightpath Architects was clear. Enhance, add to and restore the turn of the century Villa character; extend and modernise throughout to create luxurious contemporary accommodation; maximise the North facing rear aspect with a light filled family room extension and all this must be done whilst working around the beautiful old walnut tree in the rear garden.
The result is a magnificent blend of 1910 Villa character, with a modern architectural 2016 extension and renovation from front fence to rear. In a time poor world, you can move straight in with nothing to do and enjoy the lifestyle living on the Avenues inner city Royston Park affords you.
With so much on offer, here's some of the highlights I think you should know about ...
- 1910 Villa overflowing with character throughout with a 2016 contemporary architectural family room extension
- main bedroom retreat with fireplace, walk in robe and indulgent ensuite bathroom
- bedrooms 2 & 3 are doubles with built in robes
- bedroom 4 has 'stand up' cellar access so this could easily become a living room or home office
- formal sitting room or bedroom 5 if needed
- stunning designer kitchen family room with polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings and walls of glass showcasing that prolific fruiting walnut tree
- main kitchen has a sexy clean black and white palette with a big island bench, deep sink, glossy glass splashbacks and stone work tops
- butlers pantry with double sink and dishwasher enjoys space for a second fridge/freezer and there's ample bench and storage space
- the main bathroom has a neutral colour palette, free standing bath, floating vanity and the use of louvre windows help with air circulation whilst ensuring privacy
- separate wc and wash basin
- laundry is big bright and a pleasure to work in with substantial storage options
- rear portico deck with a Northerly aspect and plumbing installed for your outdoor kitchen should you desire one
- big back yard with the centre piece being that aged walnut tree along with citrus, quince and an apple tree
- double tandem carport, one enhancing the Villa character and in keeping with the heritage of the architecture whilst the other allows covered access straight in to the butlers pantry ... handy for shopping unpacking
- pillows of stone on the facade, a new bullnose verandah and modern picket fence enhance the street appeal of this gorgeous home
- re-wired, re-plumbed, re-roofed, new gas hot water system, new ducted and zoned reverse cycle air con, new soaring ceilings, new decorative cornices, new roof insulation, polished timber floor boards ... there's not much that hasn't been replaced or refurbished
- 871 sqm of land that feels a lot bigger ... there's room for additional garaging or even a pool
- gabled garden shed, rainwater tank and hidden washing line
- wonderful neighbours too, with a number having landscaped nature strips to beautify the area displaying a real community spirit
- wide tree lined street so convenient to shopping, dining, the City centre and handy public bus transport
One of the finest homes I've had the pleasure of representing and a must see for the family who doesn't have the time or motivation to go through a renovation of this scale. Come along and inspect this stunning home for yourself and while you're there, try some walnuts ... there are plenty!
