507 Fitzroy Avenue, Hastings

Taking with them decades of happy family memories, our vendors are ready to downsize and their instructions are clear - this property must sell. So here lies the opportunity to become the next custodian of this piece of history, a home that from the moment you enter, you will be impressed by not only the character and opulence, but you'll instantly feel at home. Built in the 1920s and situated on beautifully laid out gardens adjoining Cornwall Park, this premium residence presents the ultimate in prestige, privacy and position. Resplendent with native timbers, chandeliers, sweeping staircase and features of yesteryear including functional maids' bells. Sympathetic updates have only enhanced the beauty of the large estate with an upgrade to diesel-fired radiators offering modern convenience that keep the home warm during the winter months. A large country kitchen with wood burning range is the beating heart of this home and adds to an ambiance. Beautiful wood bull nose counter tops complement the attention paid to other rooms, of which there are plenty. Dine in the formal dining room, entertain in the formal sitting room, but family will most likely congregate in the warmth of the kitchen. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four large bedrooms, with three enjoying stunning views across the gardens below and park beyond. The bathrooms have been beautifully modernised to offer comforts of today. There is plenty of extra storage and a bonus hobby room that adjoins one bedroom. During summer, a large swimming pool is the place to be, whether relishing family time or entertaining friends. Doors from the conservatory and kitchen flow out to expansive lawns that provide ample space for outdoor activities and a peaceful retreat setting in the gazebo. Rich in history, the opportunity to own a jewel like this is rare. If you have been looking for an ultimate family home and location is paramount, then look no further, as this property truly delivers just that and more....
