A home of presence and enduring beauty, this double-fronted Federation residence stands as one of Stanmore's signature family homes on a 446sqm approx dual-access parcel. Showcasing the elegant proportions and fine craftsmanship of its c1905 heritage, the single-storey beauty has been architecturally remodelled with deep respect for the original home and a bold contemporary sensibility. Soaring 3.4m ceilings, ornate detailing and original fireplaces establish a mood of period grandeur, while a pavilion-style extension draws in perfect due-north light and opens the home to the garden. At its heart, a custom Calacatta marble island kitchen anchors the living space, with stackable doors creating a seamless transition to a sheltered alfresco lounge and a north-facing garden with a versatile studio or fourth bedroom/teen retreat. Italian hardware, tapware, fixtures and finishes speak to the quality of the transformation, complemented by a 20sqm basement and double garaging via Clarendon Lane. Around the corner from Stanmore village and 500m to the station, this is a distinguished home of substance, soul and exceptional family appeal.
