Elevated high above the Town Basin, this substantial residence commands sweeping, crow’s-nest views across the city while remaining quietly removed from it. The sense of space here is immediate - in outlook, in proportion, and in the way the home has been designed to function.

At ground level, flexibility is the defining feature. A fully self-contained apartment allows extended family or guests to live independently, complemented by a fourth bedroom on the same level. Practicality is elevated rather than hidden, with a 65sqm basement garage and an adjoining 72sqm workshop providing serious capacity for vehicles, storage, or hands-on pursuits. This is space with purpose, rarely matched in residential settings.

Upstairs, the main living level is warm, generous, and oriented to make the most of both light and view. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms, including an ensuite off the master, while two separate living areas create natural separation between relaxed family living and entertaining. A modern kitchen anchors the space, the result of thoughtful renovation that sits comfortably within the home’s solid framework and connects seamlessly to the living areas and outlook beyond.

Importantly, the home has benefited from extensive improvements over time. A new roof, updated cladding, and new joinery - including areas of double glazing - enhance both comfort and longevity, allowing buyers to enjoy the confidence of a well-maintained home without sacrificing character or scale.

The position completes the picture. Elevated for sun, bordered by bush reserve for privacy, and located just minutes from the city centre, it offers a balance of retreat and convenience that is increasingly hard to find.

Solidly built, impressively scaled, and quietly commanding, this home will appeal to buyers who recognise the long-term value of space, position, and versatility.
