Kingsley

Proudly gracing Cox Street since 1915 Kingsley is undoubtedly one of Port Fairy’s finest homes. Recently transformed, through an extensive renovation and extension project, the property has been sympathetically restored to impressive proportions. The result is a stunningly elegant home, which would exceed the highest of expectations. This landmark Federation residence offers an exquisite understated interior of refined classical features, all combined with beautifully designed touches. From the street you gain only a glimpse of what lies behind the weatherboard facade but for family and friends the unique aspects of this beautiful property are apparent as soon as you step inside. The home itself is timeless, graced with distinctive heritage features such as original pressed tin panels, ornate mantles, rich polished timber floors and soaring ceilings. The floor plan is generous and spans two levels offering plenty for those wishing to indulge in a blend of formal and informal living. On ground level you are greeted by a wide hallway that is adorned with pressed tin panels and leads to a formal sitting room, separate dining room, character filled study and the master suite, which includes WIR and ensuite. The rear of the home is simply breath taking, presenting an expansive open plan space which incorporates a striking custom made kitchen, showcasing Carrara marble benchtops and an abundance of cupboard space. The informal living space has 3 sets of glass French doors which seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. A quaint sunroom is located adjacent to the informal space providing yet another entertaining option.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms with carriage ceilings and a marble adorned main bathroom featuring freestanding bath, shower and double vanity.
The current owners have been very mindful of preserving the past but have cleverly incorporated modern day comforts such as ducted heating, split system A/C, and natural gas appliances. Another delightful aspect of this property is a restored self-contained cottage consisting of a large bedroom, with ensuite creating a wonderful retreat for guests or the perfect space for a home office. The surrounding grounds have been landscaped for privacy which includes a deck overlooking the heated swim spa and a garage, with storage area, provides off street parking.
This outstanding property is located in a highly coveted central location and Kingsley is certainly a rare offering, which will be sure to impress the premium buyer.
