Elegance on the crest of Princes Hill
This landmark Boom period balcony residence, set high in one of the finest streets in the inner north, has been tastefully renovated and extended for family living. An arched hallway from the lace-trimmed front verandah opens into a handsome formal sitting room. Like the adjoining dining room (presently configured as a study) it has a fireplace flanked by period-style cabinets. A door from the hall leads past a neat powder room to the open plan kitchen and informal living area. The kitchen, designed to attract maximum light, has stainless steel appliances and a pantry; to the northern side double doors open into a small paved courtyard, while a second larger courtyard with lawn and paving flows out from the well-proportioned living and dining zone. This landscaped area is bordered by a large workshop and storage area, with an entry to a right of way.
A timber-balustraded staircase leads via a landing to well-separated bedroom areas. Overlooking the balcony and the Wilson Street plantation at the front are a study and the main bedroom, while a second double bedroom has views to the east. In the new section to the rear are a third bedroom, with canopied ceiling and bay window, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
