A Reserve-facing home of glamour, grandeur & complete design distinction set on 1,465 sqm approximately.

Elevated to savour the open expanse and rolling greens of Kensington Gardens Reserve, 38 East Terrace stands as a statement of refined luxury and unforgettable family living in one of the east’s most tightly held pockets.

Landscaped gardens both beautifully frame and climb the character façade, creating a romantic arrival that hints at the grandeur within – where wide hallways and soaring 13-ft ceilings introduce a home of rare scale and substance.

Interconnecting living zones unfurl with grace, balancing formal and relaxed spaces in equal measure. A formal dining room inspired by Ralph Lauren sets the scene for epic dinner parties, while nearby, a divine light-filled sunroom takes great pleasure in the slower moments: afternoons spent reading by the fire or watching children bound across the reserve beyond.

Inspired by a memorable visit to a New York steakhouse, the kitchen is a culinary showpiece, built by Jag Kitchens. A breathtaking sprawl of Carrara marble and bespoke brass is matched by top-of-the-range European appliances, UK-imported fittings, and a custom-made timber ladder that reaches every last nook of the butler’s pantry – finer details as exquisite as they are purposeful.

Further along, a contemporary take on open-plan living embraces resort-style gardens through walls of bifold doors, achieving fluid indoor-outdoor flow while remaining beautifully intimate between ambient chandeliers and the flicker of a working fireplace.

Thoughtfully positioned to create their own sophisticated retreats through Sophie Katina cabinetry, Sanderson wallpaper and Colefax & Fowler fabrics, the home office, main bathroom and laundry/mud room respectively deliver chic individuality – spaces that feel curated, not merely functional.

But it’s the master suite that forges a design destination in itself – modelled after the romantic indulgence of Prestonfield House, its emboldened by rich, deep reds and the tactile texture of Manuel Canovas curtains, and grounded by its own dressing room, marble-topped couple’s ensuite and verdant reserve views – dishing out everyday luxury for the heads of the house.

Up above, children or guests enjoy their own private two-bedroom wing, but below, a underground wine cellar reminiscent of a rustic Italian cellar becomes the natural finale to dinner parties – or an intimate escape for date night at home.

Across the expansive grounds, a vine-covered alfresco pavilion with built-in BBQ surveys the sparkling in-ground pool, adjacent cabana and self-contained granny flat – creating a setting destined for milestone celebrations, summer gatherings and cherished family traditions.

With up to five bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home achieves a rare balance – promoting both peaceful separation and genuine connection. Every space encourages you to congregate, host and unwind within its many magical entertaining zones.
