Inspired elegance in Freemans Bay

This elevated traditional wraparound verandah villa, perfectly poised a stone's throw from Ponsonby Road, has undergone a magnificent renovation to create a sublime sanctuary for discerning entertainers.

Make your way past the manicured hedging and step up to admire the breathtaking views across to the Sky Tower, where evening drinks on the verandah admiring the twinkling lights of the cityscape are a must.

Inside you will discover a substantial and sophisticated oasis. Let the rich dark timber floors lead you down the large hallway with airy stud height to multiple light-filled hosting and living spaces. Extensive open plan living encompasses a formal dining zone with city outlook, a supremely appointed and incredibly stylish chef's kitchen, and the expansive lounge and library zones with views of the dazzling transparent walled swimming pool.

All spaces spill out through several sets of stunning French doors to the ultimate in al fresco living. Numerous zones invite all manner of impressive outdoor enjoyment, from private covered and uncovered socialising options surrounded by established greenery, to north-facing resort-style dining beside the luxurious pool.

Four opulent large bedrooms are cleverly arranged along the other wing of this level, including the primary with luxe ensuite and walk in robe, complemented by a beautiful family bathroom.

Secondary living is found on the lower level where a large family room provides a quiet retreat adjacent to a spacious wine cellar for the collection. An additional powder room and laundry is also on this floor, as well as generous storage spaces. Double internal access garaging completes this tour de force of lifestyle perfection, located a short walk from the delights of Ponsonby Road and on the doorstep to the CBD.
