Coveting a location on what is often referred to as "Cambridge's favourite street", we introduce to you the ultimate in heritage transformations, 76 Princes Street.
In the leafy, and established old quarter of Cambridge, known for its character homes, mature trees, and its stroll to town position, this exquisite residence occupies a north facing, and elegantly large 1,744sqm (more or less) land size, set back off the street frontage by a grand 14m wide tree lined driveway.
Honouring the history of this solid 1950's home, and indeed the heritage neighbourhood within which it is nestled, the brief was to create something truly unique, enduring, and endlessly functional.
With already raised ceilings throughout, native Matai timber floorboards, and with the heart and soul of an open fireplace and a solid brick exterior, the home underwent an internal rebuild, and alterations ensued to accommodate a modern way of living day to day. A sociable interaction between kitchen, dining and living was at the forefront, and natural light through skylights, and bifold doors mean hosting and entertaining flows without interruption. With a full insulation envelope, the home has double glazing and central heating and cooling, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Our owners also paved the way for entertaining family and friends with a chef's kitchen, with high end integrated appliances, beverage fridge drawer, ample storage and the quality of marble and stainless steel benchtops. Restful window seating, and large bifold doors open the home up to a private, sheltered, and sun drenched courtyard, with kwila decking, automated louvres with infrared heating, and lush landscaping including pleached Titokis.
With a passion for bespoke, timeless, and quality materials and fittings - often internationally sourced, the home has been finished with special details throughout that will impress and captivate, as you discover them.
Four bedrooms throughout the home, including master with both walk in, and wall to wall wardrobing, an underfloor heated ensuite with large tiled shower. In addition to the residence, there is separate garaging, and plenty of off street parking away from street view. Room for a pool if the heart desires, otherwise enjoy the flat, easy care lawn and garden area that this stunning home opens up to.
The one you have been waiting for. Our owners next adventure awaits, creating an opportunity to secure a home and address, of a calibre that rarely comes to market.
