Overview

The Ultimate... Priced to Sell!

Having made the difficult decision to downsize, the owners are ready to sell, leaving behind this beautiful and totally captivating home. Reminiscent of a contemporary French villa and set within parklike grounds spanning some 3,338 square metres, it offers an unparalleled level of luxury in a serene setting. At the end of a quiet street, just 200 metres from Hagley Park, it was rebuilt in 2011 on the historic site once owned by the street's namesake, local miller William Derisley Wood. With the Avon River wrapping around the north and west, and views across to Mona Vale Gardens, it is hard to imagine a more idyllic location for family living and entertaining. - A palatial ground-floor master suite comes with sweeping garden views, a dressing room, ensuite and day room or office and there are a further four bedrooms with three bathrooms. - Living areas enjoy superb flow to a variety of outdoor living spaces designed to offer a choice of settings for relaxing or entertaining against a serene backdrop of mature gardens, river, and park views. - Casual dining is integrated into the kitchen, in true European style, and flows through to a beautiful sitting room with delicate feature wallpaper featuring a birdcage motif and inspired by family travels to Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. - The exceptional living also includes a sumptuous formal lounge with gas fire, show-stopping chandeliers, and plush curtains. - These, and other ornate details evoke a bygone era of total elegance, such as the handsome billiard room, library, and underground wine cellar. - Outdoor living is a given here with the inground pool, tennis court and a pizza oven for long summer outdoor dining. - Special occasions are given an unforgettable setting in the breeze room; a dining area with large windows providing an uninterrupted connection with the garden and with shutters that can be closed for an altogether different ambience on winter evenings. - The home comes with two double garages, one with internal access and is zoned for Elmwood School, Heaton Intermediate, Boys' and Girls' High Schools and Burnside High, with private schools close to hand. - This absolute heartbreaker of a property is a rare and exceptional example of Fendalton at its finest. Priced to sell without delay, the only decision you will have to make is whether you start packing today or tomorrow.
