Tucked away as the final residence on Rectory Walk, this solid C1963 American Colonial rises quietly beside historic Carrick Hill and directly adjacent Mercedes College, settling into its north-facing estate grounds with a timeless sense of calm and confidence.
Held and cherished for 33 years, with just two custodians before, this much-loved home has been thoughtfully extended and evolved into a sun-filled residence offering a beautifully flexible footprint of up to five bedrooms.
Light spills generously across every inch, beginning with a welcoming ground floor that pairs classic proportion with personal artistry, including a bespoke home office where Bill Blass–inspired shelving adds a distinctive touch, personally crafted by the current owner.
Repainted in Georgian grey to showcase Brush Box herringbone flooring, locally sourced antique light fittings and a warming gas fireplace, the sitting room is an inviting retreat made for quiet evenings, a good book and hot cup of tea.
Both ground-floor bedrooms open via French doors to the surrounding gardens, with the master enjoying the luxury of a dedicated dressing room and marble-clad ensuite complete with spa bath.
Above it all, three further bedrooms, a lounge and bathroom form a bright, air-conditioned upper level – an ideal independent domain for growing children or guests, bathed in light and city views through picture windows.
At the centre of an open-plan addition, the granite-topped kitchen acts as a gracious host with its European appliances, unencumbered island bench and seemingly endless floor-to-ceiling storage.
Wonderfully wide, green gardens and Manchurian Pears frame every outlook, creating a tranquil, private escape designed for quiet moments admiring local wildlife, Christmas lunches and long-lasting summers spent poolside.
An architectural presence that stands proudly within its abundant landscape and prized local setting, this Springfield estate embraces lifestyle, legacy and light in a way few homes can.
