Classic colonial craftsmanship meets modern elegance in this heritage Clayfield residence, Harwich. This home has been expertly renovated by the prominent architect Robin Dods, whose attention to detail is evident in the preservation of historical elements such as an open fireplace and polished hardwood floors running throughout.
Harwich has an uplifting ambiance that is developed by the crisp white paneled walls, high ceilings and sunlight that spills into each room. Traditional, wide verandas flank the perimeter of the home, creating the silhouette of traditional Queenslander architecture.
The rear deck spills out over the back of the property; perfect for breezy alfresco dining during warmer days. The deck overlooks a in-ground heated saltwater swimming pool and Harwich’s landscaped gardens — a view that is complimented by the morning sun. A bright living room integrates beautifully with the back deck, with paneled glass doors opening out.
Inside the home is an expansive kitchen that features marbled bench tops and appliances perfect for entertaining and a separate dining room that opens out into both the living room and formal lounge that hosts the traditional fireplace. Harwich has four bedrooms, including a master wing that holds an ensuite, walk-in robe and adjoining study.
The bottom level is perfect for storage and also includes a patio surrounded by the lush gardens and pool. Situated in a quiet Clayfield street, this home is in walking distance from prestigious local schools and cafes, making Harwich ideal for families seeking luxury.
