Last Listing description (March 2022)

A significant landmark within the tightly held Bellerive Bluff precinct, 52 King Street is a beautifully renovated, circa 1850s sandstone building positioned on 1,150m2 of meticulously landscaped grounds.

One can only imagine the stories that have been written within these walls - creativity filled with adventure and triumph, no doubt inspired by the surroundings. It's fitting really, on entering this property you feel as though you have been whisked away in a fairytale. Surrounded by lush gardens and completely protected from the outside world, it really does feel like the most wonderfully kept secret. As you walk though that front door and step over the threshold, you can sense the most wonderful, palpable feeling of possibility and if you listen closely, you can almost hear the distant scratching of a pencil writing the very story that you are now part of.

Originally built as the "Kangaroo Point School," it has been meticulously renovated over the past two decades to become the charismatic family home as it now stands. Many original features are celebrated throughout this property, from the student entry, worn overtime by countless eager students running inside, to the interior stonework of the study and sitting room. The thoughtful and fitting renovation has been completely non-destructive to the structure of the property but allows a flexible floorplan to suit any lifestyle.

The kitchen and dining areas are firmly placed at the heart of the home and make for a wonderfully open space for everyone to gather at the end of the day. The living and sitting rooms ensure that everyone has enough space to relax. Be it quietly reading a book in the sitting room as the light casts everchanging shadows as it bounces across the polished floorboards or simply sitting immersed in the living room appreciating the overwhelming sense of space and light from the original school hall windows combined with the lofty ceiling. You might have a television, but I do wonder if you will ever actually turn it on! This space really is nothing short of remarkable and truly a case of "you must see it to understand." Further into the room, a sweeping spiral staircase leads to a large mezzanine storage area, cleverly designed to ensure that the flow of natural light is not disrupted.

The floorplan currently is configured with four very generous bedrooms (master with ensuite) and a home office, but if you needed an extra bedroom, the office is perfectly positioned - there really are multiple possibilities. Both bathrooms are fresh and bright. The family bathroom is incredibly spacious with airy ceilings and beautiful light.

The gardens are a charming mix of formal and whimsy, providing many sweet moments tucked away in wistful corners. I do wonder how many tree forts have been built in the larger trees, no doubt with countless imaginary battles won and lost on the grounds. There are a number of entertaining areas scattered around the property. The more formal is found at the rear (originally the front) with a beautiful terrace and plenty of space for a large dining setting, BBQ and a handful of your nearest friends.

This property is certainly not about compromise. You will enjoy the benefit of both a separate garage and a large workshop, offering space for all of life's treasures and providing plenty of room for weekend projects!

This may be your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next custodian of 52 King Street and acquire the most remarkable family home, rich in history, charm and stories yet unwritten.
