Description: A breathtaking expression of Bayside family living, this landmark c1890 Italianate Victorian has been completely transformed into a north-facing architectural residence with an uncompromising standard of finish and design. Directly opposite William Street Reserve, recently completed and extending up to a unique city-view turret, it moves from its heritage façade into a light-filled rear, where expansive living areas open to the north-facing pool and garden, drawing sunlight into the interiors and elevating how the home is lived and enjoyed. Period Beauty, Reworked for Modern Living: A cobblestone driveway and automated gates introduce a refined facade that merges the historic traditions with innovative contemporary aesthetics through dramatic arches and low-maintenance landscaped surroundings. Family Living and Entertaining: Multiple living areas span the ground floor, flowing from the arched hallway into a formal sitting room with a marble fireplace and custom joinery on either side. Substantial open living and dining areas extend to the rear, shaped by northern light, and are defined by a Venetian plaster feature wall with a gas fireplace set on a Carrara marble hearth. A rumpus area for the kids furthers the appeal, whilst triple-stacked glass doors draw on the idyllic aspect, stepping out to a travertine-paved terrace and pool, which in turn extends everyday living into a brilliant entertainer's domain. Entertainer's Layout: The kitchen delivers immediate impact, with Calacatta marble surfaces set against Venetian plaster walls, the bold veining introducing depth and contrast. An oversized island is designed for hosting, featuring dual ovens, induction cooking, integrated refrigeration, and a full-height wine fridge, while a butler's pantry and adjoining laundry connect directly to the outdoors, streamlining entertaining. Family Accommodations: The flexible family layout adapts with ease through 5 robed bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a skylit ground-floor bedroom with built-in robes and a luxe ensuite providing ideal guest accommodation. A separate sitting room doubles as a home office or fifth bedroom, whilst upstairs, three additional bedrooms are arranged around a marble-lined bathroom with wet-room design and a freestanding bath, with the main suite set apart by a north-facing balcony, walk-in robe and a lavish ensuite. Premium Finishes and Inclusions: Double-glazing, Hydro ZipTap, zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, hydronic heating, under-tile heating in the bathrooms, Velux skylights, CCTV, alarm, a marble-lined powder room, abundant storage, and intercom-gated entry.
