1940's Sophistication on Sophia Street
This 1940s residence on a generous 1,436sqm section masterfully blends timeless charm with modern elegance, thanks to an extensive renovation including double glazing over the past seven years. The result is a gracious 308sqm home that retains its classic character while embracing contemporary comforts inside. This home offers an ideal solution for those seeking either a home-and-income opportunity or a supportive setup for caring for a loved one. The main residence exudes warmth and sophistication. Upstairs, the original art deco staircase leads to a spacious guest bedroom, a full family bathroom, and a luxurious master suite featuring a large ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Light-filled, open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly onto the northern deck, where a swim spa invites relaxation against a lush garden backdrop - perfect for family gatherings or private moments of tranquility. A highlight of this home is the chef's kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, which brings this charming residence into the 21st century. A covered dining space, accessible directly from the kitchen, makes entertaining a breeze and enhances the home's indoor-outdoor flow. What sets this property apart is its thoughtfully designed semi-detached studio. Discreetly positioned on the opposite side of the garage, this studio unit offers independence with privacy, featuring its own kitchen and bathroom. It's an ideal setup for extended family members requiring a level of care yet desiring the freedom of independent living. Alternatively, this space presents an exceptional home-and-income opportunity. Whether used for long-term rental, short-stay accommodation, or a private office, the studio offers versatility without compromising the privacy of the main home. An additional loft space above the garage further enhances the property's adaptability. This flexible area could serve as a quiet retreat or additional accommodation for either the main residence or the studio. Outside, the expansive grounds are private, creating a peaceful haven and providing ample room for outdoor activities. The secure separation between the main residence, studio, and loft ensures each space can function independently, offering comfort and privacy to both residents and guests. Located in the sought-after Glenholme area, 23 Sophia Street combines practicality with lifestyle flexibility.
