Details
A stately double-storey residence of rare versatility MULTI-USE POTENTIAL The scale, layout, and address position this property as an exceptional candidate for corporate headquarters, a diplomatic residence or embassy, or simply a grand family home of the finest order. Immaculately maintained throughout, it is presented in truly turnkey condition ready to accommodate whichever vision you bring to it Commanding and gracious in equal measure, this handsome double-storey home sits in one of Kenilworth's sought-after pockets — a property that has lost none of its original soul. Within walking distance to Michael Oak and Cedar House schools and close enough for a few other good neighbouring schools, Shopping Centers, Medical and Veterinary Facilities. Soaring original ceilings draw the eye upward the moment you step inside, while rich timber detailing and generous proportions speak to a time when homes were built to last, and built to impress. The flow between spaces is intuitive and warm, with light moving freely through well-considered rooms that feel both expansive and intimate. At its heart is an open-plan kitchen that makes entertaining effortless and everyday life a pleasure. It offers a separate pantry, scullery room and utility area for laundry and convenience. The four well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs are complemented by a downstairs guest bedroom suite complete with its own bathroom and quietly positioned off the kitchen for added privacy, offering the kind of flexible accommodation that suits family or staff with equal ease. Three upstairs bathrooms, the main bedroom is an en suite bathroom with feature slipper bath and separate shower, two further bathrooms one with a shower, the other complete with shower and bath. The downstairs guest suite offers an ensuite bathroom. There is an added upstairs quaint study off the landing with decorative balcony, and a second study/office or smaller 5th bedroom Step outside and the grounds reward just as generously. A sparkling pool anchors a lush, private garden, established fruit trees, being greeted by a charming water feature in the entry way garden, majestic mature trees, all creating a tranquil retreat from city life. Secure double garaging and secure parking for four cars, as well as paved off street parking, not secured, for another 3 cars, ensures practicality is never compromised. A comprehensive battery and inverter system delivers peace of mind and energy independence — a modern essential that complements the home's enduring character without disturbing it.
