Last Listing description (May 2019)
Of French Colonial inspiration, a sweeping rendered facade with elevation is the first hint of grandeur behind its automatic gates the second, its return verandahs, triple garaging and circular driveway fronting botanical grounds only a half-century could recreate on some 1765sqm
Inside, discover 4 bedrooms, 3 levels of lifestyle, a 4-person lift, plus an indoor pool and conservatory alfresco. Can a finer stage in Springfield's prestigious heart be found?
It's unlikely.
A three storey home 'built like a battleship' (our owner's words) atop a one-foot thick slab, its solid brick construction meets soft hues and classical themes.
With bevelled glass - an intriguing touch to every French door encircling impressive wings of formal living and dining; class nor comfort knows no bounds in a zone only outshone by its marble fireplace mantel or gardens.
As verandahs spill guests in and out, the casual living and kitchen have hosted a soiree or 3 upon its ballroom marble floors, to the patio outdoors for BBQs, or simply for the garden backdrop.
To a kitchen simmering in style; from an ILVE 900mm stainless oven, Miele integrated dishwasher to the largest granite slab to blanket an island bench
On pool deck, swim 24/7 warmed by atrium-style glass, its stackable panes folding back to join the garden as a poolside bathroom refreshes all before dinner.
A dreamy master spoils with a dressing room of towering robes, a spa en suite (with AV point) and separate WC. Such excess adds more an adjoining bedroom could become dressing space 'pour homme' or perhaps a study.
French doors, robes and a view bequest bedroom 3 while in the loft space, the entire floor can split from its living room/retreat and bedroom layout into 2 bedrooms; built-in study desk and window seats being the delightful upside
In whisper-quiet surrounds where you know its rare traffic has a purpose; residents or friends coming or going, the dog-walkers, or those admiring Springfield's astounding estates.
Homes like these become heirlooms. Make this one yours.
