Expressions of Interest close by 5.00pm on 14 January, 2014.

An amazing home, superbly located on a 68 metre deep allotment within easy walking distance of parklands and the CBD, public transport and retail and restaurant precincts.

The amount of space, both inside the home and in the vast rear garden, is breathtaking.

There are 8 beautifully proportioned main rooms, 2 brand new bathrooms plus a powder room, and a large wine cellar. There is the possibility of utilising the home as 4 bedrooms if required. There is garaging for 2 cars and loads of space off street for more vehicles as required.

It has been restored using as many of the original fittings and as much original material as possible – the mid-19th century charm has been retained but the expected luxuries of the 21st century are all here. There is zoned reverse cycle air-conditioning, a security alarm and full insulation.

Polished boards run down the wide hallway and into the sitting room. The master suite is downstairs – and there is a thoughtfully designed and fitted dressing room.

The en-suite features double vanities and showers. Romantic open fireplaces feature in the front 2 rooms. You will love browsing quietly in the open library – or perhaps you will choose to use this space for formal dining.

A mid-house foyer acts as a bridge between the original and the new. It gives access to the stairs, and the large wine cellar.

Porcelain tiles flow throughout the open family-meals-kitchen. There are glass splash backs and 40mm Caesar Stone bench tops in the ultra-modern kitchen. The “Glem” stainless steel gas hotplates and large 700mm under bench oven will be the envy of your friends. Folding caf doors open up to let you spill out into the deep back yard when you entertain.

Upstairs there are another 2 double bedrooms, both with robe facilities, a great big study area and the three-way family bathroom. Carpet on the stairs, in the main bedroom and upstairs is deep and luxurious – you’ll love it. There is an impressive amount of storage too.

The entire project has been carefully overseen by the civil engineer owner and structural work has been done to exceptionally high standards.

It is a property you can move into and relish right now, and put your own stamp on it and the garden over time.

Make sure you see it – it’s unpretentious and understated from the street – and a beauty inside.
