Built in 1913 for a sea captain and his wife and seven daughters, this remarkable heritage residence has seen grand balls, lively gatherings, and holds generations of stories. Over the last century the original residence has evolved from a family home to a boarding house in 1948, it was then divided into 4 flats in the 1960's, and 25 years ago it was transformed into the two luxury residences we see today.
57b Norwood Road is one of these two-storey character luxury duplex homes. It is a Bayswater icon with timeless character, modern comfort, views, history and a real heart. No wonder this home has not been on the market for 20 years!
Sitting within beautifully landscaped gardens, the home has spacious and elegant living and dining areas that flow out to a beautiful garden room, perfect for large entertaining year-round. On the ground floor you will also find a study and behind two glass doors there's a surprise waiting; a magnificent wine storeroom.
A divine and grand staircase leads up to four bedrooms, including the master suite that frames sparkling sea and city views. The home boasts central heating and a carpeted double garage, also with heating, perfect if you have a classic car to store or you could use it as a children's games room. The uses here are many.
Every detail of the home has been thoughtfully renewed ensuring the charm of yesterday is matched with the ease of a modern build. This means you have a superb 'easy to live in' home that is also perfect to 'lock up and leave' if you're away from home for work or travelling.
With riparian rights and sweeping views across the harbour to the city, the home offers an enviable lifestyle in this prime Bayswater location. Just a short walk to the marina, ferry, parks, schools, swim spots, and cycle routes, it offers a tranquil lifestyle with convenience.
