Set within picturesque gardens on 1,079sqm (approx), this gracious c1920 solid brick residence's evocative blend of period elegance and refined contemporary style provides an utterly captivating family domain within the Dorrington Estate.

Beyond country-style gardens, the welcoming interior is replete with hardwood timber floors, expanses of glass and high ceilings, flowing through to a formal sitting room/study with bay window, formal  dining room and a glorious lounge opening onto a tranquil Japanese garden. The large kitchen, appointed with granite benches and quality Smeg and Asko appliances, soaks in the striking northwestern aspect, affording ease for entertaining through the sun-drenched dining and living rooms, the latter with an open fire and picture windows framing the pool. A media room or den located at the rear provides yet another living dimension to this wonderful family home.

The breathtaking rear gardens continue the entertainment allure outside, with an elevated paved terrace, towering hedging forming a privacy barrier and a solar-heated swimming pool. Accommodations are equally impressive and versatile by design, with a choice of main suites on each level. The superbly large upper-level main bedroom with fabulous his and her walk-in robes opens to a spectacular treetop balcony offering panoramic views of the pool below and catching city glimpses in the distance. Two additional bedrooms serviced by a bright central bathroom enjoy their own private wing, while a fourth bedroom, with ensuite and walk in robe, currently in operation as a marvellous home office, also shares vistas of the beautiful Japanese garden.
