A Grand Estate - Charming Character Residence of Mansion Proportions Set in 1 Acre (4048m) of Botanical Gardens with Tennis Court & Heated Tiled Pool
Overview
A truly magnificent family home of exceptional quality in a wonderful setting. "The Gables" enjoys peaceful leafy surrounds, complete privacy from neighbours and occupies a premier East side address. It is only a short stroll to rail, buses and popular shops and cafes. Highly regarded private and public schools including Abbotsleigh, Barker and Knox (Prep and Secondary schools) are also only minutes away.
The accommodation in the home comprises four double bedrooms with built-in/walk-in robes (one with attached study/nursery), oversize studio or 5th bedroom (with potential to convert to separate accommodation), 3 stylish bathrooms, 2 powder rooms and an outdoor WC. The huge master suite with balcony and sumptuous marble spa en-suite with under-floor heating provides the perfect vantage point to oversee the rear garden and recreational facilities.
The gourmet open plan kitchen features 2 walk-in pantries, granite benchtops, gas Miele and Ilve appliances, two dishwashers and a wine fridge. Travertine marble floors with underfloor heating flow to the spacious casual lounge, a grand formal lounge includes an open fire place and two separate dining rooms offer space to seat up to 12 and 30 guests respectively. The glamorous 1940s-style billiards room with wet bar and wine cellar is reminiscent of a Gentleman's Club and also includes an adjacent large storeroom. A library, study and sunroom provide more contemplative spaces away from the busy living areas of the home.
The fully tiled � Olympic size swimming pool with diving board is bathed in sun and a synthetic grass championship tennis court with full width practice wall enjoys an ideal North/South aspect. Standing within the gardens are in-character, separate bbq and tennis pavilions and 3 separate outbuildings with great further potential.
Designed by Peddle Thorp & Walker and erected in 1941, the beautifully preserved period details of the home reveal its era, some of which include built-in leadlight cabinetry, casement windows, Tudor arches, high ornate ceilings, half-timbering on the home's exterior and coats of arms. Additional modern features include recently re-built 4 car garaging off separate parking area, internal laundry, reverse-cycle air conditioning, underfloor heating, automatic security gates and irrigation system throughout the gardens.
Waiting for the new Family to simply move in and enjoy!
