Proud of its deeply-rooted C1890 origins, architecturally redefined by its Enzo Caroscio rear addition; the history books will say this stately stone-laden villa is the home that started it all for Clarence Park. It might just save its best for last.
As that history would have it, William Benbow commissioned its original build where its prized corner position would intersect at his William Street namesake, only adding to the many layers of intruigue this solar-powered home oozes from the pores of its thick walls.
Clearly a person of note, William ensured the symmetrical original home was embellished with heavenly high ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate fireplaces, decorative roses and grandly proportioned spaces.
The result is an enduring home with the freedom and flexibility worthy of modern demands, elevated by that bold extension and its knack from making two opposing eras look and feel like they've always belonged.
The old exterior wall is now an interior feature of a space headlined by its ultra-modern open-plan kitchen, effortless flow to the alfresco pavilion and heated pool, and a showcase cellar that delves underground.
Legend has it William's gold sovereigns are still unaccounted for. What is clear is that this is a very special home with the added bonuses of a double garage and carport, side-road access, two ensuited bedrooms, dressing room and prime position on the city's leafy fringes.
The next chapter will be the best yet.
