All the antique appointments in this enchanting French provincial-inspired home have been painstakingly sourced from artisans and collectors throughout France. This beautiful home sitting on a 622sqm block is located in a sought- after spot with stunning north-facing views of the Claremont Golf Course and Scotch Playing Grounds. Privately located down a brick-paved lane at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with gate access to Lake Claremont par 3 9-hole Golf Course, this magical family home is admired for its authentic celebration of Mediterranean style. Featuring blush and limestone exteriors, duck-egg blue shutters, and an abundance of French doors revealing sun-dappled balconies and courtyards. Discerning features of wide-set antique stone and French oak floors, cascading linen drapery, and inviting spaces to entertain culminate in an organic and refined elegance that highlights the beauty of the surrounding natural environment. A double-height entrance foyer makes a bold statement featuring a classic floor design in French sandstone and antique oak against a winding staircase clad in stunning wrought iron workmanship - completed entirely onsite to emulate the traditional, French style. Hailing from the St Remy region, a rare set of antique doors laid in intricate etching and leadlight details reveal a grand open plan living & dining, while walls of French doors open to a north-facing terrace complete with French sandstone paving, vine-covered canopies and endless views to Lake Claremont beyond. Exuding provincial-chic farmhouse appeal, the room's sand-rendered walls and ample natural light offset an antique sandstone fireplace and an adjacent TV cabinet featuring antique fruitwood doors (circa 1830). In the kitchen, the provincial farmhouse-style aesthetic is continued via solid timber cabinetry with vintage cup-pull handles, deep drawers, antique French oak bench tops, and a unique imported island - once a pine shopping counter - topped in snowy white marble and a built-in butler's sink. An adjoining scullery is perfectly located to access the double garage, while more French doors from the kitchen lead to another private courtyard with a natural gas barbecue recess & an existing option for a water feature. Quality appliances include an ILVE 5-burner gas stove & wall oven, and an ASKO dishwasher. Framing the entrance, a wall-enclosed Mediterranean-style courtyard garden is studded in trellised grapevines, and olive and lemon trees, offering peaceful views from a light-filled sitting or library room and an adjoining study. Three of the four bedrooms on the upper floor feature inviting French doors and traditional shutters while commanding stunning north-facing views over the golf course and parklands beyond. Evoking the essence of a European holiday villa, the generous master suite includes his-and-hers walk-in robes, an antique gilded chandelier, and a gloriously light-bathed ensuite bathroom with (heated) terracotta flooring & towel rail, a huge walk-in shower, spa bath, antique pedestal sink, and the 'piece de resistance', an 1870s (free-standing) marble-topped walnut dresser with magnificently carved mirror details with a built-in basin. One of the secondary bedrooms includes a modest ensuite, while a family bathroom, also with a vintage pedestal sink and heated ceiling lamps, connects the remaining bedrooms. An ode to the original owners hailing from Dutch and Hungarian heritage is featured in a unique custom-made leadlight window in the fourth (rear) bedroom. Other features include ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, a remote double garage with ample storage & hobby corner, and fully reticulated (low maintenance) gardens. This breathtaking, one-of-a-kind residence evokes an aura of open, countryside living, with ample conveniences nearby.
