Detail-oriented design and high-quality craftsmanship are hallmarks of this much-admired landmark home in the heart of Hillcrest. Built in 1915, the home holds true to its origins and is dripping with history and character. However, several carefully executed enhancements keep it relevant and comfortable for a modern family. The kitchen brilliantly showcases a marriage of two eras. Recently refreshed, it has Miele appliances and new benchtops and tiling, yet retains a vintage Shacklock oven which is a real focal point. The large formal dining room is perfect for hosting and family get-togethers around the dinner table. The bright living area invites relaxation and each of the four spacious bedrooms has a wardrobe. Original cistern toilets feature in both bathrooms. A study, foyer and a large laundry add substance to the impressive layout. From the four working fireplaces and stained-glass windows to the lustrous native timbers and stunning staircase, classic detailing is superbly preserved. Views over Hamilton are captured from the upstairs bedrooms and there is storage galore in the large crawl space. The carpets are new, and recently installed ducted central air conditioning keeps the interior toasty warm and dry over winter and pleasantly cool in the summer. Well maintained over the years, the property comes to market in beautiful condition. The large loft above the double garage is perfect for a work-from-home office or home-based business. The charm of this endearing home is enhanced by landscaped gardens of perennials and a variety of mature trees within its 698sqm section, and an in-ground salt-water pool promises family fun over summer. The property lies in zone for sought-after schools and in strolling distance to the University and local shops.
