Magic Unfolds
With their delightful character and historic charm, it’s not surprising that villas are so highly desirable. When they are as lovingly updated and beautifully decorated as this property, they become, quite simply, irresistible!
Here, in the heart of Fendalton, a classic early 1900s villa has been carefully extended and updated over the years to create a home for luxurious contemporary living. Elegantly decorated with an artful touch, every part of the property – indoors and out – exudes warmth and whimsy in equal measure, resulting in a home that is as welcoming as it is beautiful.
Occupying a glorious 938 sqm of blue-chip real estate, the villa nestles in its own ‘secret garden’, leafy and private, but as carefully laid-out as the interior – and equally liveable, with superb outdoor living spaces to the front and rear. Securely fenced to the street, the garden unfolds to gradually reveal the home. Visitors are led to an exquisite tiled front entrance, which hints at the care that has gone into every detail of this much-loved property.
At the rear, a well-planned extension has resulted in a stunning open-plan casual living and dining space, where a cathedral ceiling, punctuated with skylights, creates a light and airy, gallery-like ambience. French doors open to one of the two landscaped al fresco entertaining spaces. Exceptional outdoor living is a hallmark of this home and this space combines sheltered decking flowing to a very private terrace tailor-made for outdoor dining. Back inside, the well-appointed kitchen is sleek in design and functional in layout, with crisp white cabinetry, mirrored splashbacks and a gleaming countertop of engineered stone.A 90cm under-bench oven, gas cooktop and wine fridge make light work of catering for friends and family. A more classic ambience, with a high stud, leadlight feature window and log-burner, provides a sophisticated alternative in the separate lounge, which opens to the second outdoor living space. Perfectly in keeping with the lounge from which it flows, this deck offers an elegant sitting area, warm and sunny, with shade provided by a leafy grapevine.
The master bedroom is a luxurious and generously proportioned space, with a coved ceiling showcasing one of several spectacular chandeliers that grace this home. French doors open to the garden and a sumptuous tiled en suite bathroom (with under-tile heating) boasts a double shower and sculptural counter-top basin. Four more double bedrooms share a tiled family bathroom with a stunning standalone bath. A separate studio, ideal for working from home, separate laundry and separate double garage add the finishing touches.
No expense has been spared in crafting this magical home, from double-glazed custom-fitted windows to fixtures and fittings of the highest quality. Positioned within strolling distance of Fendalton Village and just a four-minute drive to MerivaleVillage, with zoning for Fendalton School, Cobham Intermediate, Boys’ High and Girls’ High, a superb lifestyle is on offer here.
