Bayside’s largest & most distinctive property.
Set on an astonishing 1 ¼ acres approx and spread over 3 titles, this historic and most iconic estate is known as “Talbot House” (C1880) Bayside’s single largest and arguably most impressive residential property. Surrounded by seemingly endless sprawling lawns, the gracious and majestic British Provincial 4 BR + study home was constructed in 1880 as an original Beaumaris farmhouse and still includes detached maid’s quarters (with kitchenette and bathroom) a garden water well and enchanting Canary Island pine tree. With a grand entry veranda, leadlight framed front door, the enchanting period detail of this unique manor home continues inside with golden Baltic pine timber floors, soaring 14 ½ feet high ceilings, ornate plaster detail, golden French Palace chandeliers, beautiful bay windows and series of French doors and 7 OFPs spread throughout a collection of incredibly spacious, elegant rooms. Accommodation includes a front master bedroom with stage dressing room/BIR and lavish, Italian pink marble floored ensuite with leadlight window surrounded spa bath. Three further bedrooms peel off the long hallway as well as a main bathroom with attic access and the utterly charming formal lounge room which links into the formal dining room. The sunny, northerly orientated French Country style kitchen is centrally located and includes a lined timber ceiling, rustic OFP and stainless steel appliances. French doors open out to a delightful brick paved relaxation patio and just one of the flowing garden zones. Deeper to the rear is a phenomenal, ballroom sized family living space complete with ornate wet bar, views out to an expansive entertaining terrace with gas mains BBQ and 8 foot deep heated swimming pool. Heritage listed, this most unique estate also includes a spacious home office, second central bathroom with cedar clad walls, Scandinavian style timber plunge pool, separate sauna, electric operated front gates, ducted heating throughout and feature wrought iron street poles from London. A once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a unique piece of Bayside history.
