Beautifully positioned in prestigious Barry Street, this magnificent solid brick Federation residence has been transformed, in essence, into a brand-new home. Complemented by a captivating light-filled contemporary extension that provides space and luxury set in secure, secluded landscaped gardens in the tranquillity of Studley Park.
Attributed to acclaimed Federation era architects Ussher and Kemp, the charming Federation facade features a complex gabled roof with grand ornate chimneys. The original interior proportions retain their glorious sense of grandeur in the soaring decorative ceilings, signature plaster flourishes, and lead-light windows. Meticulous attention to detail has been applied in the restoration of this five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence. A stately lead-light entry hall and elegant living room with broad bay window and built-in library accompany a breathtaking ground-floor master bedroom suite that features a fully fitted walk-in robe, luxe ensuite, breakfast terrace and Ussher and Kemp’s signature architectural detail, a romantic feature arch with ornate art nouveau decoration flanked by artisan lead-light windows.
At the hall’s conclusion, a jaw-dropping open plan living, dining and entertaining domain is defined at one end by a wall of glass offering immersive garden views and at the other, by stacker doors that retract for private indoor/outdoor entertaining beside a sleek gas BBQ kitchen and the rear garden. A long wall of rich walnut cabinetry confirms the commitment to quality that’s evident in every room, none more so than in the impeccably appointed walnut kitchenfeaturing Mont Blanc Quartzite benchtops, a full complement of Miele's premium range of appliances, including integrated fridge and freezer, induction cooktop, pyrolytic and steam combi ovens, butler’s pantry and a grand statement island designed for entertaining. Additional accommodation includes four bedrooms, two on the ground floor and two on the first floor, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, guest powder room, spacious laundry and extensive storage throughout.
