ELITE CITY-FRINGE HISTORIC HOME
One of View Street's finest residences, this imposing double-storey Victorian-era home was built circa 1872 for H.B.Neill, a mining investor & chairman of Sandhurst Building Society. Originally a single storey red brick building, Neill added the second level with many more improvements implemented by ensuing custodians over the years.
Hidden behind the imposing high fence, the home sits in landscaped gardens on a large allotment approx 1518m².
It exudes grandness the moment it comes into view from the stone-paved path edged with manicured box hedges & cascading cast-iron fountain. Restored front verandahs lavished with cast iron lacework opens to the entry hall & stunning front reception rooms used as formal lounge & dining/music room. Both feature marble fireplaces, 15ft ceilings with intricate ceiling roses, deep cornice & original gasoliers in working condition.
Spacious country-style kitchen/meals includes OFP & family-sized dining with French door access to the side garden. The light-filled kitchen is equipped with Falcon gas/electric range, big Corian-topped island bench for gathering or grazing, appliance cupboard, integrated 2-drawer dishwasher & fridge.
The ground floor also houses a cosy den/TV room with OFP, a powder room & impressive cedar staircase winding to the second floor. The large landing leads to the front verandah, 4 big bedrooms, 2 renovated bathrooms & quaint staircase to the widow's walk perched on the roof.
Through the back door, the laundry & rear verandah overlook a paved alfresco surrounded by parterre gardens. A separate rumpus boasts polished timber floors, built-in shelving, s/system a/c & access to a dry wine cellar.
Big backyard includes 3 original stables with original brick-paved floors, hay feeders & loft while a fourth stable has been converted to a light-filled studio with open fireplace, handbasin & 2 external toilets alongside. A freestanding garage accessed from Wright Street at the rear & abundant off-street parking room completes this magical residence.
The elite property offers an unparalleled lifestyle located mere steps from the Arts Precinct, CBD, Rosalind Park, shopping, cafes, restaurants & minutes from leading zoned & private schools.
*Adjoining lot (1518m²) with tennis court & pool can be purchased with the residence if desired.
