Entering through a grand entrance hall, the home retains the opulence of Victorian ceiling heights combining stunning period features including resurfaced Kauri pine floors and ornate details. A solid american oak pivot door reveals an inspired open-plan family/dining room that is underpinned by an Arclinea kitchen with premium appliances and a Carrara marble island bench with black sandstone under foot. The space also features matched american oak paneling, open fireplace with granite hearth and a full width expanse of north-facing glass that blurs the distinction between indoors and out.
Maintaining the extraordinary scale, a further oak pivot door reveals an ambient living room flowing into a more formal living room warmed by a gas log fireplace with embellished ceiling detail which could also be a library or home office. Each of the bedrooms is impressively sized with built-in robes and three traditional open fireplaces with the main bedroom incorporating walk-in robes, study area and a skylit terrazo ensuite.
