Stanmore 106 Douglas Street

One of Stanmore's finest period homes, this grand freestanding Victorian Italianate residence impresses with a plethora of exquisite original features. This supremely spacious three level residence offers splendid formal living areas, a north-facing entertainer's garden and a rooftop observation deck which captures spectacular 360 degree views.

The home's grandeur is immediately evident, with a rich, decorative facade and an ornate tessellated tile entranceway that leads to a stately entry hall with lofty ceilings. The magnificent adjoining formal living and dining rooms set a stunning scene for entertaining. Both have marble gas fireplaces and the elegant dining room is framed by an unusually large bay window.

There are four bedrooms, including the large main complete with a marble fireplace and an adjoining walk-in robe which extends to a balcony. The second bedroom has a marble fireplace and a balcony, while the third opens to a large north-facing terrace.

The versatile top level is ideal as a home office or teenager's retreat. It includes a stairway to the observation deck, which captures panoramic views encompassing the city skyline, the Harbour Bridge, the Blue Mountains and Botany Bay.

The home also includes two bathrooms, a casual dining area and a highly spacious modern kitchen appointed with a Miele dishwasher, plus an Ilve oven and five burner gas cooktop.

Features of the property include original kauri floors, four marble fireplaces, exceptionally high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, leadlight windows and air-conditioning.

Outside the property features a low-maintenance landscaped garden with a fish pond and a large private north-facing entertaining area. The property also offers rear lane access, an oversized full brick double garage or workshop/studio and additional off-street parking.

Occupying a desirable central setting, the property stands just a brief stroll from the station, leading local schools, popular cafes and Norton Street's renowned restaurant strip.
