Overview

This expansive Kew residence presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity set on approximately 1739 square metres in the prestigious Sackville Ward precinct, known for its exclusivity, proximity to private schools, and leafy surrounds. The vast frontage and substantial land size provide an exceptional canvas for families seeking a unique lifestyle or the possibility to redevelop (subject to council approval).

The home itself offers a sophisticated balance of generous living spaces and practical zones designed for family life. The ground floor features a tranquil main bedroom with ensuite and garden access, establishing a private retreat. The presence of double-glazing enhances comfort and natural light throughout the residence.

A dedicated study with custom cabinetry suits professionals working from home, complemented by a powder room for guests. Formal sitting and dining areas adjacent to a HeatnGlo gas fireplace create an inviting environment for entertaining, while an open plan family living and dining zone extends seamlessly to the garden, fostering indoor-outdoor living. The chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with premium appliances including a Leibherr fridge/freezer, Siemens steam oven, and coffee machine, alongside a substantial waterfall island and ample storage, catering to both everyday and entertaining needs.

The spacious upper level is arranged as a children's wing with four generously sized bedrooms, including one with an ensuite, plus a rumpus room, optimizing space for growing families. Wellness amenities such as a cedar sauna with shower and powder rooms, and a versatile studio above the carport with balcony, suitable for yoga or a quiet retreat, enhance the property’s appeal.

Outdoors, the north-facing garden oasis features a solar-heated swimming pool, alfresco terrace with wisteria-covered pergola, and a north-south Mod-grass tennis court. These amenities offer exceptional leisure and entertaining options, framed by mature gardens and privacy walls with an automatic gate and rear lane access ensuring security and convenience.

Additional functional elements include a full-size laundry, storeroom or cellar, ducted heating and cooling, alarm system, intercom, ducted vacuum, and integrated speaker system, emphasizing comfort and practicality.
