40 Estell St, Maryville NSW 2293, Australia

Behind the beguiling and slightly deceptive cottage façade of this property is a stunning, renovated home of endless character, premium features and grand proportions. With soaring ceilings, beautiful wooden floors, a striking fireplace and custom everything this grandiose home will intrigue you from the start. This property has been completely renovated – from the plumbing and electrical wiring all the way to the crystal chandeliers. The current owner has managed to retain the classic attributes of this 1900s home but imbued it with all of the contemporary class and features you could desire.

The open plan living space has hybrid timber floors, impossibly high ceilings and a centrepiece industrial look custom-made timber light fixture that would be at home in a chic New York apartment or a ski resort in Chamonix. The original fireplace has been encased in beautiful timbers and framed by custom cabinetry. The kitchen is sublime…and enormous…with seemingly acres of soft close drawers and cupboards, subway tiles and a brand-new imported Italian Lofra 900ml gas cooktop and oven which will exceed the expectations of the most fastidious chef. There are no less than 3 bathrooms. They are all a stunning blend of old and new with Italian-style Harlequin black and white tiles, contemporary showers and your choice of either a deep, sleek modern bath or black claw-footed vintage style tub.
