Relocation Sale - Timeless Charm, Modern Living

Set on a generous 1,437sqm section, this beautifully reimagined 1940s residence effortlessly unites timeless character with modern sophistication. Over the past seven years, an extensive renovation - including double glazing - has transformed the home into a gracious 308sqm haven that balances its art deco origins with contemporary living. Perfectly suited for those seeking a home-and-income opportunity or a thoughtful arrangement for multigenerational living, the property offers remarkable versatility without compromising on comfort or style. Inside the main residence, an original art deco staircase leads upstairs to a spacious guest bedroom, full family bathroom, and a luxurious master suite, complete with a large ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Downstairs light-filled open-plan living areas invite connection, flowing seamlessly to the northern deck. At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen, featuring a butler's pantry and direct access to a covered outdoor dining space. Here, a swim spa awaits - the perfect setting for both lively gatherings and peaceful moments overlooking the private garden surrounds. Entertaining is effortless, with a layout designed for both everyday ease and memorable occasions. What truly sets this property apart is the cleverly designed semi-separate studio. Positioned with privacy on the opposite side of the garage, it boasts its own kitchen and bathroom, providing independence alongside support. Ideal for extended family, the studio also presents outstanding income potential - whether as long-term rental, short-stay accommodation, or a private workspace. Above the garage, a flexible loft space adds yet another layer of adaptability. Whether used as a quiet retreat, creative hub, or additional accommodation, it enhances the home's ability to meet changing needs. Outdoors, expansive grounds create a private sanctuary with plenty of room for relaxation and recreation. The careful separation of the main residence, studio, and loft ensures each space functions independently while maintaining a sense of harmony across the property. Positioned in sought-after Glenholme, 23 Sophia Street delivers a lifestyle of both practicality and possibility - a home where classic charm, modern comfort, and future potential come beautifully together.
