A home with heart and soul, where timeless period charm meets considered family living in one of McKinnon’s most coveted locations.
Set across a rare and substantial approx. 612sqm double block, this gracious five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence delivers an exceptional combination of space, character and contemporary comfort. Warm, welcoming and wonderfully versatile, it has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life while retaining the elegance and soul of its period origins.
At the heart of the home is a striking dual-sided fireplace, creating a beautiful connection between kitchen, family living and dining areas. Original Baltic Pine floorboards, soaring 3m ceilings, plantation shutters and bespoke cabinetry sit effortlessly alongside contemporary finishes, creating a home that feels both timeless and distinctly individual.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the floorplan offers master suites both upstairs and downstairs, each featuring an ensuite and walk-in robe. A versatile fifth bedroom can readily transform between guest accommodation, children's space or a sophisticated home office. Upstairs, a third living area opens to a private balcony, providing an additional retreat for growing families.
The custom-designed kitchen is both a statement and a social hub, appointed with a six-burner Ilve gas | induction range, step-in pantry and appliance pantry. Bespoke cabinetry, generous storage, banquette seating and an impressive dining bench make this a kitchen designed not simply for cooking, but for gathering, sharing and everyday family life.
Bathrooms continue the home's refined aesthetic, with stone finishes and a luxurious semi-freestanding bath in the main bathroom. Pebbled carpets, climate-controlled living, ducted heating and individual reverse-cycle heating and cooling provide year-round comfort.
Beyond the living spaces, the home truly comes alive outdoors. A north-facing wraparound alfresco zone overlooks the sparkling, invisibly glass-fenced pool, creating an enviable setting for summer entertaining, family celebrations or quiet afternoons at home. Solar pool heating, alfresco panel heating and a beautifully established garden extend the home's living possibilities throughout the seasons.
Practicality has not been overlooked. Keyless entry, alarm security, abundant storage including a walk-in roof space, 5kW solar system, 10,000-litre water storage, rear right-of-way access and off-street parking all add to the ease of everyday living.
