Positioned in one of the premier streets of Ashfield, in the immediate presence of the area’s major private and public schools, shopping precinct, transport and parks, come and discover this spectacular Victorian Italianate Mansion of eternal elegance and rare distinction, set on an extraordinary 2,276 sqm parcel of land with a mammoth 42.21m frontage! As you walk through the front gates, you’ll be in awe of the expansive landscaped gardens, lush level lawn areas and sweeping driveway which all come together to set the premiere tone for the entire estate. One only has to look upon the grandeur of the manor to appreciate the rich history behind ‘Coniston’, which was originally built in 1885, and has been tastefully restored, from the sandstone borders, to the immaculate finishes and attention to detail throughout. On the lower level, you will discover grand interiors with soaring ceilings which show-case numerous formal and informal lounge and dining areas, an abundance of marble fireplaces and stunning Australian Red Cedar, Blackbutt and Blue Gum timber flooring throughout. The flowing ground level has a functional floorplan, with a huge guest bedroom, immaculately presented timber kitchen with island bench, beside a climate controlled wine cellar and library. The upper storey features oversized double bedrooms, most with balconies which overlook the park-like grounds, additional study and a luxurious master bedroom complete with elegant Calacatta marble spa ensuite, walk-in dressing room and additional sitting room which sets the benchmark for luxury. You can then retreat to the rear and side beautifully manicured gardens with sparkling 20 metre Mosaic tiled pool, grassed spacious yard and undercover Summer pergola, all of which are perfect for entertaining. The jewel in the crown lies in the wide array of exquisite details, including Tallowwood verandas in all directions, a Widow’s walk rooftop with incredible 360 degree district and city views, CCTV security, breathtaking chandeliers, ducted air conditioning throughout, ample storage, 7 car garage and workshop. With a relocating vendor, words just do not do this magnificent estate justice. This is a rare opportunity to own a landmark property that must be seen to be believed.
