We introduce a hidden heritage gem, modernised for family living, on an established Cambridge East street!
On an incredibly private 1,578sqm (more or less), even the space around the home is unheard of in this popular quarter of Cambridge, a location that has you conveniently located to cafes, schooling, the township, and a commute, yet you will feel a world away. Traditional charm with added contemporary sophistication, this heart stopping property is sure to steal your heart from the moment you step onto its grounds.
The home, with its timeless heritage design reminiscent of Ponsonby/Herne Bay villa's, spans approximately 214sqm (more or less) plus 30sqm of separate studio space, and an attached double carport. It features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering a relaxed master wing with French doors opening the parents retreat to the leafy grounds surrounding the home. Spacious bedrooms will keep the kids happy, one of which has its own ensuite. A third bathroom services the remaining bedrooms and is well placed for the convenience of visiting guests. Traditional elements such as external wood cladding, sash windows, and leadlight windows have been thoughtfully retained, and now are double glazed for all year-round comfort.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, characterized by soaring high-stud ceilings adorned with metal rafters and skylights. Window seating with French windows to the outdoor dining, will become a favourite spot to chat to the chef of the house during dinner prep, or to read a book in peace with a glass of wine.
The kitchen, dining, and living and master open out to the outdoors, allowing everyone to enjoy the large grounds, mature trees, alfresco entertaining and a fabulous pool area to provide months of entertainment and cooling off. Families will appreciate the property's proximity to primary, middle, and high schools, with St Peter's just a three-minute drive away, leaving the car at home, and walking and biking to the town's amenities will form part of daily life!
A separate studio, featuring French doors and its own outdoor zone, offers versatility as a home office or a teenager's retreat, further enhancing the property's appeal. Attached covered parking allows cars to be kept out of sight, and there is even space for the boat, camper, or the teenager's cars! Tucked away behind gates and a private driveway, this secluded haven provides unparalleled privacy and tranquility. Contact Amanda Merrington today for a private viewing.
