This prestigious home is an example of renowned architect Robert Talboys at his best. The 405 m2 (approx) grand manor is set privately away in a premium location on St Johns Hill. Built in the 1930s it offers a feeling of yesteryear with a twist of modern. You will love how welcoming the formal entrance is with the gorgeous native timbers and ambiance of a very special home. This leads through to two living areas, a formal lounge and a large conservatory with three lots of French doors that open out to a tranquil garden and large sun-drenched patio. Your guests will absolutely love being entertained in this area of the home. The spacious kitchen with breakfast area is a great space for the family catch up while the formal dining room is perfect for evening family meals or entertaining. There is also a spacious powder room on the ground floor, perfect for people visiting and entertaining. Take the lift to the second floor where there are four good sized bedrooms including the master with an en suite and walk in wardrobe. The large double garage is a perfect space for the family vehicles and toys. It has its own toilet to save the keen mechanic or gardener of the family a trip inside. Above the garage is a huge office/games room that is accessible internally and provides the perfect opportunity to work from home or for the unexpected guests. It also has its own bathroom and kitchenette. Set in 2,055 m2 (approx) of parklike gardens it creates a perfect postcard picture and would make the perfect wedding venue. It is in two lots so there is also the potential (with the appropriate consents) of subdivision if the section is too big for your family. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure a home like this so do not delay making your appointment to view it. Viewing is by appointment only.
