While honouring a historic home's elegant proportions and fine craftsmanship, the interiors of this freestanding Victorian villa have been peeled back and reinvented to adapt to contemporary living. Capturing northerly views out to Spectacle Island from the upper level, the high-set 1890s beauty features a choice of living areas plus a separate studio or home office and a choice of intimate alfresco spaces to relax, entertain or simply soak up the vista. Newly refreshed and presented in immaculate condition, this grand residence stands tall and proud in a fantastic village setting steeped in history and just up from Elkington Park and the iconic Dawn Fraser Baths. Living is easy in this connected neighbourhood with the recently refurbished Riverview Hotel on the corner and a 250m stroll to Birchgrove Public School in one direction and Darling Street's dining and social scene in the other.
