A proud piece of city history…architecturally extended to redefine city living

Auction Sat, 26th Aug – 10am (usp)

Commissioned by pastoralist John Rounsevell in 1872 and architecturally extended by Geofrey Nairn to snag its very own commendation award; this resplendent bluestone bay-windowed villa is a meeting of then and now worthy of its tightly held position on the leafy cusp of Victoria Park.

Set above street level on an enviable south-north parcel with hidden lane access to undercover parking for three cars, the dimensions and functionality of its landholding alone defy the usual city-living script before you even set eyes on its gas heated pool/spa and alfresco pavilion.

The contrast between the grand original home and Mr Nairn’s ahead-of-its-time open-plan addition is bold, making soaring ceilings, polished timber boards, and ornate fireplaces a timeless prologue to clean lines, architectural skylights and bi-fold doors that blur the boundaries between indoors and out.

A bay-windowed library looks over Gilles Street with authority; a converted guest wing combines a bathroom and bedroom with a sitting room to create a home within a home; the master’s underfloor heated ensuite makes mornings a dream; and the huge under-ground cellar will host quaint card nights like few can.

Whether it’s the stone-topped open-plan kitchen with Miele appliances and integrated double fridge or its outdoor, poolside counterpart under the heated pavilion; good food becomes the nucleus to every occasion here, all year round.

That’s of course if you haven’t booked yourself a table at one of Hutt Street’s ever-growing collection of restaurants or the plan is to stroll into the East End and choose something on the fly. City living, the way it was always meant to be.
