515 Small St, Albury NSW 2640, Australia

A superbly designed renovation has respectfully transformed this grand, character filled red brick home (circa 1929) into an opulent and graciously proportioned landmark residence, surrounded by splendid gardens. Situated on an elevated allotment of approximately 1530m2, on two titles , the home’s original charm blends comfortably with contemporary updates culminating in the substantial living and entertaining zones, both inside and out. From the traditional, elegant foyer with stunning original leadlight windows to the beautifully calm loungeroom with fireplace, the home continues to the open plan living and dining, taking full advantage of the Northerly aspect. Two sets of French doors provide seamless indoor/outdoor living with direct access to the extensive verandah and covered outdoor entertaining overlooking the pool with spectacular views across Albury and beyond. Stone benchtops and a selection of quality appliances, including the retractable in-bench exhaust system, provide the perfect environment for lovers of home cooking and entertaining. All this complemented by excellent ergonomic storage, layout and preparation areas. The highly versatile sunroom, with window seat, provides a relaxing option to enjoy the garden vista. The three stately bedrooms located on this level exude the charm of yesteryear with high ornate ceilings and fireplaces. The bedrooms are serviced by an elegant main bathroom as well as a carefully considered additional bathroom seamlessly blending form and function to the laundry space. Located on its own dedicated level the grand master bedroom suite features dressing room/custom walk-in-robe and well-appointed ensuite as well as direct access to the office (or gym) with relaxing views to the gardens. The large 6 seater spa, conveniently located off the master suite, is perfect for hydrotherapy massage and provides relaxing skyline views.

An impressive walk through wine cellar and home theatre / rumpus room are also located in this zone with direct access to the secluded formal garden. The professionally designed gardens are a masterpiece in their own right.
