This classic example of Victorian architecture designed by renowned gold rush-era architect William Beebe circa 1895 is well-located a short walk to Rosalind Park, the Arts Precinct, restaurants, View St boutiques and the city centre. Set on a large corner lot approx 1263sq. m. the solid brick residence named "Arran" stands as a testament to the expert craftsmanship of the era with Beebe's signature decorative flourishes with intricate cast-iron lace and fluted verandah posts to the front facade. Inside, the original charm and character fuse beautifully with modern additions and improvements designed to enhance a 21st-century lifestyle. The home features a wide hallway with a 4-metre ceiling, feature arches and polished timber floors. It leads to separate formal lounge and dining rooms with ornate pressed metal ceilings, marble fireplaces and leadlight glazed windows. The second level is home to the oversized main suite with a walk-in-robe, 5-star-worthy new ensuite and balcony with views over the city and local landmarks. The ground level comprises three large bedrooms, the main bathroom, a rear sunroom and a library adjoining the original glasshouse, now a unique conservatory room for pre-dinner drinks or relaxing with a good book. Recently replaced, the stunning kitchen boasts a 900mm gas/electric range, integrated dishwasher, stone-topped island, ample cabinetry and a butler's pantry. An adjoining light-filled meals area overlooks the spacious family room with French doors to the side garden and alfresco courtyard. Set within the manicured grounds is side access to space for car parking and the "Coachhouse", self-contained accommodation offering living room, kitchen, bedroom, ensuite bathroom and laundry. It's perfect for extended family, residential or commercial leases as consulting rooms etc. "Arran" offers the best of the past and the present. It's ideally suited to professionals or retirees seeking a refurbished property where you can earn an income, work from home and enjoy the city-edge lifestyle where you can walk to everything.
