Love to play chess? ‘Check’ out this beautiful villa
Landscaped gardens, a life-size chess set, a separate guest wing and cellar are among the highlights of this stately residence.
Held by the same family for four decades, this stately bluestone villa with return verandah makes a stunning first impression.
Beautiful landscaped English-style gardens lead the way to the main entrance and it doesn’t take long to realise that the owners like a game of chess.
A life-size chess set takes pride of place in the front lawns along with a grand fountain.
Built in the 1880s, the five-bedroom villa at 4 Radstock Street in Woodville offers buyers the rare opportunity to become new custodians of an iconic property.
Filled with character charm, the home has retained its period features while being infused with elements of modern living.
Set on an allotment of 1,313sqm (approx.), the home boasts elegant interiors and spacious living areas. Apart from formal living, dining and family rooms, a study and cellar, the bedrooms have plenty of room as well. The modern kitchen has steel appliances and offers views of the garden.
Another highlight of the home is a separate “air-conditioned cottage” which can work either as a separate guest wing, a teenager’s retreat or as a B&B accommodation. It comes with its own entry way, bedroom, bathroom and retro kitchen.
The home offers plenty of room to entertain both indoors and outdoors. There’s an all-weather alfresco and gazebo where you can the enjoy the seasons and admire the gardens.
Selling agent Kate Smith of Harcourts Smith, who is presenting the home to market with co-agent Alexander Zadow, said the grand home had garnered a lot of interest from buyers from across the state as well as interstate.
“It really is an impressive property and not surprisingly, the response has been fantastic,” Ms Smith said.
The home is scheduled to go to auction on October 8.
