About this property

Privately positioned in one of Parnell's most coveted and peaceful pockets, this beautifully appointed home offers the space, flexibility and privacy that families will truly appreciate. Behind its understated street presence lies a surprisingly generous home, where clever separation allows everyone to enjoy their own space while still bringing the family together. The original California bungalow has been thoughtfully and dramatically extended, creating a contemporary residence of scale. Multiple living areas unfold across the home, providing plenty of room for teenagers, guests and relaxed family living, while the generous deck creates an exceptional setting for entertaining. With covered and uncovered areas for dining and lounging, together with a fabulous outlook, it is a space designed for long summer evenings and effortless gatherings. At the heart of the home, the immaculately presented kitchen connects seamlessly with the main living spaces and will delight those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. Downstairs, a second living area opens directly to the pool and additional outdoor spaces, an ideal retreat for teenagers, movie nights, guests or simply giving everyone a little more room to spread out. Three generous double bedrooms occupy this level, including the first of two master suites with ensuite. A contemporary family bathroom, direct garden access and an abundance of storage add further practicality. The beautifully maintained garden includes a wonderful selection of mature fruit trees, ready to harvest. Upstairs, the second master suite is a private and peaceful sanctuary, bathed in morning sun and enjoying relaxing views across to the Bay. A generous home office could also serve as a fifth bedroom, while a guest powder room, internal-access double garage, vented wine storage and extensive additional storage cater effortlessly to busy family life. Set on 756sqm (more or less) in prime Double Grammar zone, and close to leading private schools, Parnell District School, Gladstone Road shops, Rosie Café, the Rose Gardens and Parnell Village, this is a home that grows beautifully with a family. The separation of spaces is particularly well suited to school aged children, teenagers, or multi-generational living offering independence when wanted and wonderful shared spaces when it matters. A rare opportunity to secure a substantial Parnell home in a truly enviable position - and offered to the market for the first time in 16 years. Can't make the open home?
