Meet the modern-day monarch: a captivating c.1900 Return Verandah Queen Anne Villa, flawless from its grand facade to its lifestyle-defining new interiors, commanding an elite position, moments from The Parade and the east’s top-tier schools.
Private and secure behind its stucco-rendered wall—built to complement the original Victorian cast-iron gates sourced from historic ‘Dulwich House’—this extraordinary four-bedroom, three-bathroom villa offers another rare revelation: a c.1900 Palladian Art Nouveau arched picture window.
Altogether, it’s a fastidious pairing of past, present, and designer precision for the discerning modern family.
Warm accents, cool curves. Carefully sourced pressed metal ceilings, dado panels, cornices, and original copper hardware complement bespoke additions such as Alabaster wall sconces, Marbella Carrara marble, and brushed brass fixtures.
Once two grand bedrooms, the primary bedroom upon entry now entices twice with a walk-in dressing room and luxe ensuite; the opposing formal lounge/dining—a serenade of light, charm and scale—puts the artistry into entertaining.
Even the c.2000-built addition has received a game-changing renaissance.
The sky-high open-plan finale, bathed in light, headlines with a cook’s dream: a sleek kitchen wrapped in premium walnut and slim-profile shaker joinery, a full butler’s pantry, high-end Smeg appliances, and a blanket of Marbella Carrara stone benchtops.
Lift the floor hutch to bedroom two and you’ll discover the cellar. Take the carpeted, ultra-quiet stairs for two more double bedrooms—one boasting an inbuilt study desk, the other elevated backyard views—both serviced by the third luminous bathroom with a discreet separate WC.
Outdoors tips its hat to a curved alfresco terrace; a cascade of Titanium exposed aggregate concrete edging a seasonally stunning landscape, low care lawns, and a heritage-style four-car garage, scaled for a car stacker.
Two eras. Unspeakable luxury. One unrepeatable modern villa destined to turn heads.
