Stunning Art Deco showcase

This beautiful 1930s Cambridge home is an exemplary showcase of Art Deco architecture that blends elegant character with tasteful modernisation.

Brought to life in France just before the outbreak of World War I, Art Deco was a pastiche of many different styles and its styling had a wide influence, including the design of buildings. In its heyday

Art Deco was celebrated for its luxury, glamour and exuberance, and regarded as a manifestation of social and technological progress.

Distinctive Art Deco styling has been carefully retained in this stunning Cambridge home where its unique features interweave with contemporary elements to create a very special living environment.

Majestically set behind an automated electric gate, the two-storey home is a high-end offering, with renovations and décor completed to a high standard.

Open-air areas, spacious private lawns, a garden gazebo and outdoor speakers provide a relaxed environment for alfresco living and entertaining.

An extensive deck and portico overlooking the secluded landscaped grounds extends from the dining/family area adorned with leadlight features and hearth.

Bi-fold windows over the kitchen bench enhance the feeling of oneness with the outdoors. The highly functional kitchen melds sleek good looks and quality appliances with a work-friendly layout. The free-standing dual oven with gas hob will appeal to the entertainer.

Three living options, including light-filled lounges shaped around voluptuous curved windows, provide ample space for family and guests.

The suite of bedrooms includes an enticing master with gorgeous feature wallpaper and a generous walk-in wardrobe. The original cast iron bath has been restored as a nod to the home's former glory days.

Heat pumps feature throughout and there is a woodburner in the downstairs lounge. Parts of the home have safety glass, new joinery and double glazing.

This iconic property, set on 890sqm (more or less) of land in the heart of Cambridge, is walking distance to the vibrant town centre, with its boutique retail and trendy cafes. Private and public schools, and leading sports facilities, including the Avantidrome, are very accessible. The new expressway has quickened commuting times to Hamilton and other outlying centres.
