Passionate Affair

Description

Quirky eclecticism defines this Edwardian villa's exterior facade, enhanced by later renovations, oozing nonchalant chutzpah, amongst her illustrious peers. Intuitively in tune with the rhythms of nature, surrounded by lush greenery. A wonky path guides visitors past the artfully curated cherry blossom, to a welcoming covered porch.

Natural light fills the entrance foyer, flowing seamlessly into the glamorous living spaces. The classical double-glazed bay window anchors the formal living area. Abundant sunlight dances across the serene white walls and double-height ceiling, transporting those who spend time here ... into a relaxed dream like state.

Parisian style French doors beckon to the small but perfectly formed deck ... this contemplation spot is an oasis of calm, a true juxtaposition to the Capital's nearby inner-city growl. A romantic oriel window seat delineates the intimate dining space, along with shimmering lead light French doors, a theatrical backdrop for glittering soirees.

The informal open plan kitchen / family room is immediately adjacent, aligning the living design, offering the opportunity to entertain with largesse or provide family independence if required.

Visionary design via conservatory-style skylights, channel big blue sunny skies and moonlit starry nights. Wide French doors beneath, flow to the bijou garden, replete with a de rigueur Peter Rabbit potting shed and raised garden beds.

A Balinese styled bathroom on the lower-level is conveniently located for guests and family, while the family bathroom is positioned on the upper-level servicing the three bedrooms. All three double bedrooms are cosseting in feel, offering a welcome retreat from the world. The fourth single bedroom has chameleon-like qualities, as a sunroom, creative studio, or inspiring office, with its own private deck.
Blending character features with modern day amenities, this home is for the passionate of heart.

There will be no modicum of objectivity here darling ... this is love.
