European splendour - Open Sat 30th Jan 1-2PM - $850000

Description

This splendid 1920s 3x2 plus study evokes the essence of Europe in an eclectic blend of styles. From the French leadlight doors to the parlour wallpaper, the Roman patio with colonnade pillars and the flame-coloured Tuscan outside feature wall, this is a truly unique home. Repeat extensions over the past 80 years have endowed a creative mix of space and dimension around the original features, such as the working fireplace in the formal front room, the provincial style winding staircase and the spacious Italian balcony. Old features combine with new; a four jet spa alongside a bidet in the bathroom, an original style wood stove in the quaint country kitchen complementing stainless steel European appliances. The home is built on the solid foundations of the day, with individually laid brick-work and individually fixed roof tiles. Old-fashioned dimensions of high ceilings and thick walls are natural energy savers, and the sun-drenched dining room, with its floor to ceiling glass doors overlooking the north-facing patio, is a wonderful winter retreat. This urban oasis stands apart in its classic character features, clean lines and quality workmanship. Those seeking sophistication and flair are invited to view the ultimate in home living. Other features include but are not limited to: - Floor to ceiling Spanish tiles in bathroom - Cathedral ceilings with original stone light fitting - Intricate ceiling roses throughout - Granite kitchen benches/ timber cupboards - Large sized walk-in-pantry - Massive walk-in-robe connecting master and bathroom - Polished boards and down lights - Balcony views to city skyline
