The adjoining kitchen is spacious with stone benchtops, a 900mm Ilve cooker, plenty of storage and convenient servery windows to the deck.

At the front of this level is a lovely bedroom with ensuite and another large room that is currently used as a substantial home office, but would equally be a sumptuous sitting room.

Deep, wrap around verandas on both levels are not only visually appealing, but they make the home even more liveable, providing multiple opportunities to relax regardless of the season or time of day. The upper level veranda is the perfect vantage point to enjoy sensational, uninterrupted views across the local area and city skyline.

The home has air-conditioning throughout and a myriad of traditional features, including soaring ceilings, bay windows, pretty stained glass and floor to ceiling double-hung windows.

The fully irrigated gardens are serviced by 2 x 20,000 litre water tanks. There is a secure double car garage with the space for another two cars off street all serviced by driveway turntable, a security system and automatic pedestrian gate with intercom.

The location is central and close to vibrant lifestyle areas and within easy access of the CBD, the Wesley Hospital and numerous schools.

Properties of this scale and calibre, occupying blocks of land this valuable are rare in the inner city.

This is indeed a unique opportunity to secure this wonderful ‘forever’ home.
