With its character-filled spaces, lush gardens, and ample room for every member of the family, 299 St Hill Street offers a lifestyle that balances elegance with practical convenience.
Step through the covered porch, where you are greeted by period features including a grand staircase, ornate timber fireplace, and native timber detailing that immediately immerse you in the home’s historic charm. Leadlight windows cast colourful light into spacious rooms, creating an atmosphere that is as welcoming as it is impressive. The spacious family living room features a gas flame fire and a rounded bay window seat—ideal for quiet evenings or entertaining.
A separate formal lounge and a sun porch provide versatile spaces to suit every occasion, while the formal dining room makes each meal a gathering. The recently revamped kitchen is both spacious and thoughtfully equipped, boasting a Belling double oven with gas hobs, rangehood, dishwasher, and a charming stained-glass window. With a large walk-in pantry, it’s designed for both everyday cooking and special gatherings. Recently renovated, the family bathroom brings a touch of luxury with underfloor heating, a modern shower, and a freestanding bath.
Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, a second enclosed sunroom or dressing room, and an office/study off the landing, all bathed in natural light. This layout offers a sense of privacy and flexibility for family members or guests.
The separate studio with an ensuite, connected to the double garage, serves as a perfect retreat for a teenager or as a comfortable, independent living space for an elderly relative. A mezzanine floor in the garage offers additional storage, while the remote-controlled door provides ease of access.
The fully fenced and gated property ensures privacy and security, with off-street parking for visitors. The established gardens add to the charm, providing beautiful outdoor spaces that require little maintenance. With the convenience of a water softener and gas infinity hot water system, this home has been thoughtfully modernised without compromising its historic elegance.
