With an exceptional eye for design, the current owners collaborated with the renowned team at Glasshouse Projects to completely reimagine this c.1914 villa into one of the most outstanding homes on today’s luxury market.

Situated on a valuable corner allotment in the tranquil treelined heart of exclusive Rose Park, the home is surrounded by an award winning garden sanctuary designed by Yardstick, with the lines between spectacular indoor and outdoor living deftly blurred.

This sensational property and its garden have been duly recognised and featured in several publications including SALIFE‘s Collectors Issue and the cover of Outdoor Design Magazine.

HISTORY & ARCHITECTURE

Built around 1914, the property was named “Taraki” by the Dolman family who called it home from 1915 until 1959. Many glorious original features have been retained and sit beautifully beside contemporary design elements.

The sandstone façade is a particularly fine example of the Queen Anne/Art Nouveau movement so prevalent in Rose Park, with its return veranda, curved timber adornment, casement windows and stained glass.

Inside, a decorative arched hallway, high ceilings with cornicing and rich dark floorboards span the principal rooms.

Its 21st century makeover has added layers of curated contemporary luxury that converge into one of the most sensational open plan living and outdoor entertaining areas you will see.

PRIMARY & FAMILY ACCOMMODATION

Forming an elegant sanctuary of understated luxury, the primary bedroom features a window seat on which to gaze across the front garden.

Custom robes extend into the designer ensuite with indulgent under floor heating. Two stylish bedrooms incorporate built-in robes and stunning decorative mantles with herringbone marble inserts.

A versatile living retreat/study with shelving and a workstation could be utilised as a fourth bedroom if desired.

The main bathroom is of outstanding design, with floor to ceiling designer tiles and a wow-factor shower with a seating platform and glass ceiling providing a luxurious resort style vibe.

OPEN PLAN LIVING & KITCHEN

The spectacular north facing living extension is a contemporary masterpiece with a beautifully curated aesthetic designed for effortless entertaining and family comfort.

The kitchen hosts a range of integrated Miele appliances, custom joinery, and a wide engineered stone central island around which to gather.

Behind display shelves and a study nook, the laundry doubles as a prep space and opens to a drying yard.

Framing the idyllic outdoors are soaring wraparound clerestory windows, a window seat and a window that slides away to bring the outdoors in and provides a place to perch in the sun.

A wall of sliders disappears making the transition between indoor and outdoor living seamless and fully connected.

ALFRESCO ENTERTAINING

With indoor and outdoor living becoming one, extended outdoor entertaining is warmed by an outdoor fire.

The eye is first drawn upwards through a void that floods the area with light, then across the magnificent rear garden.

GARDEN

Designed by Yardstick, the award winning garden is a true oasis that wraps around the house and elevates its beauty to the next level.

Edged by layers of manicured Japanese box, Viburnum and Murraya, sweeping lawns are punctuated by steppers and paths, with ornamental pears, Magnolia, Gingko and Japanese Maple trees adding seasonal beauty and colour.
