Rich In History - A Street Synonymous With Prestige

In the late 1800s a stately home was built in a street that would become synonymous with prestige in Warrnambool and which epitomises the grandeur of majestic builds of its era. 57 Canterbury Road stands today as a testament to the craftsmanship and detail that has stood for decades as a timeless homage to the era. This home stamps its mark with an enduring street presence that flows through the entire home from the moment you step onto the manicured allotment of approximately 1026 m2. The entrance foyer creates an unforgettable impression; framed by an archway that is detailed with lead lighting and fretwork, it draws your attention to the beautifully crafted stairwell that leads to the upstairs wing. To your right an ornately carved mantelpiece proudly hosts a gas log fire and is a stunning focal point of the formal lounge. Original Axminster carpets and a luxury en suite set the scene in the expansively grand master suite which is complete with a walk-in robe. A less formal open plan living area incorporates the dining, lounge and kitchen which has been custom-built, with a massive island bench that overlooks the room, and again a beautiful, open gas log fire serves as a focus point. It is a truly relaxing area that is perfect for entertaining as it leads out to an outdoor entertaining area that can be fully enclosed and is fit to host sizable functions year round, in turn surrounded by a clipped and manicured garden alive with small shrubs, palms, roses and hedging. All up there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with the upstairs wing dedicated to bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate toilet plus a bungalow with en suite for guests. Outside there is room for five cars to be parked undercover with a triple length garage with remote roller door, double carport and access to the rear yard. Walking through the hallways you will be able to appreciate the grandeur of this home and be able to admire the beautiful fixtures and fittings that are a part of Warrnambool's history - this is a home that you need to see to appreciate all of its grand beauty!
