House
(Disclaimer - This listing is for marketing purposes only, it is not sold)
An increasingly rare approx 1661sqm estate comprising a fine Victorian residence, pool, spa and separately-titled 6-car basement garage and tennis court, Florence Court c.1888 offers gracious living with an eye to the future.
Wrapped by return verandas and laced with ironwork, this grand four bedroom plus fitted home-office, three-plus bathroom home is faithfully restored and extended to fit a modern family with fine formal lounge and dining rooms, pool-view children's lounge and dining, a family zone around a granite and Gaggenau kitchen and a richly detailed billiard room with bar.
Faithfully restored with custom-crafted parquetry floors, meticulous paintwork and bespoke stone-topped timber cabinetry, the home is rich with original detail including fireplaces (all marble except one), decorative plasterwork and wide window bays (including for the gracious master domain). Hydronic heating, centrally air-conditioned and alarmed, the home is further secured by video-intercom entry and features auto-cleaning and dual heating for the gracious pool and spa set in magnificently landscaped grounds kept healthy by 21,000L water storage.
Corner sited on a significant parcel of blue-chip land between Church St and Bay St, this is an opportunity to make history - a walk to the private schools and shopping strip, with the bay and stations within easy reach.
