This timeless residence has been impeccably renovated to combine Victorian elegance with clever contemporary design. ‘Highfield’, originally built in 1889, is surrounded by landscaped gardens and magnificent towering trees, with lush green beauty visible from every room. Sought after period features (such as 3m plus high ceilings and marble fireplaces) are effortlessly integrated with crisp minimalist themes, resulting in light filled living spaces that exude quality and supreme liveability. The charcoal and white colour scheme of the exterior is carried throughout the interior creating a Scandinavian style feel. Baltic and Kauri pine floors grace the central spaces, with brand new wool carpeting in grey hues for the stairway and bedrooms. Stunning Artemide pendant lights provide an ambient glow to all rooms.
The ground floor master bedroom includes a vast walk-through dressing room and luxury ensuite with lofty ceilings, rain shower and double vanity. Two more downstairs bedrooms overlook the garden, the third currently functioning as a peaceful study with built in cabinetry and desk space. Upstairs are two further bright and airy bedrooms serviced by a large bathroom with tub. A secret stairway leading to the turret reveals panoramic bay and city views.
The rear of the home fans out into the spacious open plan family room with gleaming black granite kitchen, complete with Fisher and Paykel dual ovens, Miele dishwasher and abundant bench and storage. The sunlit meals and family zone spills open to the entertaining deck with alfresco barbeque area. With rolling lawns and treehouse, this sprawling back garden is the perfect setting for many family barbeques and kids birthday parties. The pool is optimally positioned to take advantage of the northerly sun.
Formal living and dining rooms, with open fireplace and outdoor access offer indoor entertaining options for adults. Other features include a brand new spacious laundry with courtyard access, zoned reverse cycle heating and cooling, ducted heating system, advanced video surveillance security system, a generous two car garage with access from Barkly Street and solar energy system.
