Extended Sandstone Beauty with Pool on Exclusive St. Peters Avenue c.1889

Situated on perhaps the most highly prized of St Peters’ treelined avenues, this enchanting sandstone beauty has been updated and extended to create an outstanding family home with up to five bedrooms, expansive open plan living, easy-care sunny north-westerly orientation, a pool, and valuable rear lane access.

Dating back to 1889, the house was built by early settler Micheal McKeever and cherished for over 50 years by his family. Original heritage details remain and sit by contemporary features to create a warm, light and inviting family home.

Nestled beneath the iconic plane trees of this beautiful avenue, the picture-perfect sandstone façade boasts a front door with stunning leadlight surround.

A central arched hallway with high ceilings intersects the original principal rooms which are highly flexible in nature and currently configured as three bedrooms and a study.

The light filled primary suite to the rear has been created to form a private sanctuary with a walk-in robe, opulent ensuite and sliders that spill into the rear poolside courtyard.

The line between the original floorplan and extended open plan living is almost imperceptible. Picture windows bring the outdoors in and fill the space with light.

The large kitchen with wrap around breakfast bar, a range of European appliances and casual meals area, connects to larger living to make an expansive area in which to gather and entertain, with a bathroom and laundry with drying yard conveniently concealed close by.

Below a dry wine cellar includes contemporary racking in which to store and display the wine collection, whilst above a retractable attic ladder provides easy access to roof storage.

Providing the perfect backdrop is the private rear walled courtyard garden and fully tiled and heated saltwater pool with a sundrenched Tuscan vibe.

Rounding off this special property is valuable rear lane access with a remote entry double garage and pool utility room.
