“Ostia” – An Iconic Federation Estate On The Appian Way
Undoubtedly one of the most impressive homes along the widely-recognised historic Appian Way, “Ostia”, one of the first residences to grace the estate, showcases the grandeur and grace of its Federation origins whilst offering all the modern requirements for leisurely family living on a generous 1,322sqm (approx). Offered for the first time in over 50 years this much loved family home is truly unique.
Beyond the circular driveway entry, the striking tuck pointed façade with a gabled roofline and traditional tessellated verandah introduces the gracious interior enhanced by beautiful coloured leadlight doors and an interior adorned with high ornate ceilings, plate ledges, gorgeous stained woodwork and original open fireplaces.
A gracious reception hall showcases the sheer size of the interior, leading into a hallway where formal dining and living rooms open to a lovely sunroom, a sumptuous main bedroom, four additional bedrooms and two sparkling bathrooms. The superb family domain includes a well-equipped kitchen with adjacent meals and living zones, with French doors affording seamless entertaining ease to the private poolside terrace. A separate self-contained 1-bedroom wing presents the desirable flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, a home office or a second living area/games room depending on your lifestyle needs, whilst a tandem garage offers plenty of secure parking options.
Otherwise known as the Hoskins Estate, this enviable street was first developed in the early 1900s by the wealthy industrialist George J Hoskins and is just 12km (approx) from Sydney’s CBD, less than 10 mins walk from Burwood shopping and station, and within easy access to reputable private schools.
