Escape to a heart-and-soul, south-north Villa with a lifetime of memories to make

Auction Sat, 30th Nov – 2.30pm (usp)

Forty three years, several memorable milestone parties and a garden wedding later, this C1910 Return Verandah Villa on a glorious south-north plot is tranquil proof that not all houses are homes, oozing the kind of soul that only passing time can create and 21st-century abodes can only dream of.

No, you aren’t dreaming. They are some of the most beautifully decorated ceilings you’ve seen and there really is something special about how the rear garden setting makes the CBD on your doorstep feel like a world away.

As the sun shifts, so does the mood in every space of this 4-bedroom solar-driven home defined by its sandstone facade, leadlight windows, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, period lighting and ornate fireplaces.

Featuring robust Blackwood timber joinery, an island mounted gas cooktop, built-in microwave, dishwasher and a baker’s prep stone, the kitchen embodies the home’s eclectic charm and ever-dependable functionality.

The kitchen is not only a hub, but a conduit to the quaint western courtyard and, courtesy of a servery window, a rear family room with Jarrah floors, rustic timber-clad ceilings and a wall of north-facing glass; the gateway to that magical rear garden…

If you can imagine a celebrant exchanging vows or epic games of cricket on the lawn, Christmas lunches on the paved patio or the sight of Honeyeaters and Rainbow Lorikeets huddling around the birdbaths, you’re imagining just a taste of what’s to come at 8 Carlton Street, Highgate. Home.
