12 Queens SquareSandringham

Period grace meets today's family space on this iconic Queens Sq corner. A landmark Federation-style residence set in manicured formal gardens, this generously proportioned four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom master-built home offers the best of all worlds at one of Sandringham’s best addresses. Unfolding with a modern family floorplan featuring a ground-floor master-suite and a dedicated first-floor level for the kids (or grandkids), this large open-plan design features a gracious formal lounge facing the veranda, a light-filled dining-room with lavishly leadlit French doors, and a sunbathed north-facing family zone stepping out to pergola-shaded al fresco entertaining. Timeless by design with a classic Miele and Bosch appliance kitchen at the heart of living, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home offers all the benefits of modern design; from a big butler's pantry, to a sizeable family laundry, to a super-sized walk-in linen press, to built-in and walk-in robes. Beautifully detailed with a breathtaking leadlight entry, lofty deep-corniced ceilings, a tessellated-tiled veranda and lobby, and a tiled, timber-mantled fireplace, this red-brick beauty is meticulously detailed outside too. Elevated on the block in veranda-wrapped style, the home is topped by a decorative terracotta-tiled roof and cocooned in rose-filled grounds with lawns front and rear, a ‘walled garden’ to the side, and a double auto-garage easily-accessed from King Street. A stroll to Sandringham’s village and station, and few blocks to Hampton's beachside bars, bistros and boutiques, this aristocratic Gipsy Village address is a splash to the bay, two blocks to Sandringham Primary School, a minute to Sandringham House (Brighton Grammar and Firbank’s junior school), and just down the line to all the private schools, Church St and the city.
