8 Collingwood Street, Drummoyne

This stately c1890 Victorian residence perfectly luxuriously blends historic grandeur with a dramatic renovation to create a home that embraces the beauty of the past while providing every modern convenience for a contemporary family lifestyle.

Ideally located, on approx. 700sqms of land, in one of Drummoyne's most coveted streets, it is just minutes to the River Cat, city buses and Birkenhead Point shopping, cafes and marina.

Past the classical facade, the grand lead-light front door opens to a long entry hall flanked by magnificent Victorian arches with the rich patina of original wide timber floorsboards.

The glamorous formal lounge and dining rooms with high ornate ceilings, fireplaces and vast proportions leads to the contemporary living zones which have been masterfully integrated with the original home.

Travertine floors and high ceilings offer continuity throughout the casual areas and maintain the home's sense of grandeur.

The gourmet kitchen is sleek and sumptuously appointed with Ilve appliances, an integrated ice-water fridge and espresso coffee machine, caesar stone benchtops, a butlers pantry and a wall mounted flat screen. Ambient blue LED lights and full height sliding stacker glass doors compliment this fabulous living area.

The family room opens to a large private deck with stunning water feature and automated vergola overlooking the sparkling heated mosaic swimming pool. Downstairs a huge games room with wetbar opens to low maintenance gardens and the tiled pool terrace.

A wide, timber staircase leads to the second level which enjoys magnificent water views to the Harbour Bridge and city skyline.

Accommodation includes a master suite with walk-in wardrobe, luxurious spa ensuite and a balcony capturing the views. All bedrooms offer built-ins and generous proportions, while a funky attic room also with views could double as accommodation or relaxation.

Other highlights include a fully appointed home theatre, a self contained basement area, video security, ducted air conditioning, alarm, remote security gate to a double auto garage and abundant storage.

This wonderful home has it all - historic beauty, luxury styling and views in one of Sydney's most convenient and sought after locations.
