Art Deco city landmark
Absolute art deco eye candy, this outstanding home delivers classic period styling, designer aesthetics and majestic river views.
The exquisite architectural creation is a city icon, superbly enhanced for contemporary living. Opulence is very much in evidence, says marketing agent Murray Watson. “The attention to detail is impressive.”
Brought to life in the 1930s, the art deco housing style heralded a complete change from villas and bungalows. This home, with its clean lines, bold geometric shapes and curved windows, epitomises the heyday of art deco.
Reflecting the gracious proportions typical of the period, it is a superb testament to vintage charm. The grand lightfilled interiors, which are graced with curved walls and windows, a characteristic fireplace and staircase with a long curved and paned window, are all perfectly restored and tastefully decorated. Rarely has traditional elegance been so beautifully complemented by sophisticated modern enhancements.
“There is no doubting the pedigree of this must-view five-bedroom family haven,” says Watson. Extending over a spacious 350sqm floor area, the home offers three living zones, an entertainer’s kitchen, media room, and a bonus 45sqm area for a gym, office or studio.
The formal entrance provides an impressive welcome to the perfectly positioned living areas and media room.
The bespoke kitchen is a clever amalgam of sleek modern and retro ambience. It contains
all the essentials demanded of today’s home chefs wrapped in a character-rich environment. Meals and living merge seamlessly with a 70sqm all-weather alfresco precinct for effortless outdoor entertaining and relaxed living. The louvred alfresco provides excellent shade and shelter. Meals can be served direct from the kitchen and from the built-in barbecue area.
Spacious accommodation includes four large family bedrooms and a picturesque master suite. Making the most of its first-floor elevation, the huge and elegant master bedroom has its own private balcony, a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite overlooking the river. Both the ensuite and the main bathroom are stylishly appointed with tasteful fittings, heated marble floors and walk-in showers.
Garaging is 2.5 internal-access complemented by ample off-street parking. Other highlights include plentiful storage, ducted gas heating and inbuilt sound and security systems. The lawns are manicured and the grounds showcase formal landscaping in line with the era of the home.
The property is conveniently placed for hospitality and retail, with shops, supermarkets, bars, cafes and eateries all within easy walking distance.
