Last Listing description (March 2020)
Not only does this standout property come with its own Zen-inspired resort-style residence finished with distinctive touches that reference both its charming past and its contemporary evolution but it adds a blank canvas for future development.
An elevated rear yard facing Primrose Lane offers either R50 subdivision potential (STCA) as a prime inner city block with outstanding city views or plentiful space for additional serviced assets such as granny flat, holiday accommodation and/or garage-workshop facilities with independent vehicle and pedestrian access.
Alternatively, simply reimagine the extra space for immediate storage needs and utilise the convenience of a large insulated studio/workshop while sitting on a longer term investment.
The custom renovated circa 1894 character home, beautifully crafted and designed with the finest of luxury features, is truly an exceptional residence.
Every square centimetre has been carefully considered - from the large dramatic & modern north-facing floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors which let the winter warmth in, to the designer kitchen, and to the carefully restored and modernised original 1800's part of the home. This is a truly low-maintenance, modern & chic lifestyle option in a vibrant urban precinct.
The 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home oozes luxury with a recently refurbished ergonomic kitchen and large open living and dining area.
The large master suite is strategically designed to connect with the Zen garden and outdoor decking, across stepping stones over a fish pond moat that wraps around the rear of the home. Travelling past the open living area and down the side of the house, large colourful Koi fish enter the lounge area through an airlock beneath a dramatic low garden window - something that will definitely wow your guests and calm your spirits.
Perfectly located on the edge of the CBD with bountiful amenities and lifestyle advantages within walking distance, this is a home of distinction and taste and will not last long. Don't miss your chance to lay claim to this unique gem. Contact Brian or Mark today to register your interest.
