Without sacrificing any of its rich, 1914 Edwardian ambiance, ‘Carrington’ is an exquisitely detailed family residence that has been sensitively extended and renovated to present a remarkably flexible intergenerational home with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an independently accessed home office, as well as a fully self-contained in-house apartment, to suit a diversity of lifestyle scenarios. Originally crafted as a Master Builder’s own showpiece primary residence, the home proudly merges a unique heritage with a more contemporary open-plan rear, in a premier pocket near Carlisle Street’s vibrancy, the village charms of Ripponlea and elite school access.Announced by a meticulously tended and period-appropriate front garden and a unique vestibule-like entrance, the home opens to reveal soaring detailed ceilings and exquisite leadlight windows all complemented by Baltic Pine flooring and a rich sense of ambiance. Flowing past an office with built-in desk space and a lounge room with decorative fireplace and an early Art Deco window, the home culminates in a vast open-plan kitchen / dining / living with additional multipurpose / study space, all lit naturally by its northern alfresco flow and a brilliant atrium. Well designed and appointed with European appliances, the kitchen caters to gourmet cooking and large-scale entertaining, as three sets of double doors extend the space outdoors to the private sundrenched joy of a partly paved garden-surrounded backyard.Each of the bedrooms has been appointed with substantial built-in robe storage – two also with original fireplaces – whilst the fourth bedroom forms part of the independently accessed residence with a second kitchen / living, ensuite and built-in robes to suit multigenerational family life, adult children or student accommodation. With potential to create rear car access via a ROW, this meticulously crafted residence also features a laundry with volumes of storage, ducted heating throughout, split system air conditioning, a rear workshop, garden shed and five rainwater tanks to service the gardens.Brilliantly located within easy reach of Greenmeadows Gardens, the cafes and bars of Carlisle Street, Ripponlea Village, multiple city-bound tram routes and trains from either Ripponlea or Balaclava Railway Stations.
