Tusmore 25 Northumberland Street

Elegant and modern family residence of very generous proportions in prized eastern suburbs location, with in-ground pool.

AUCTION: Saturday 12th October at 1pm (unless sold prior)

This impressive residence offers an exceptional opportunity for a lifestyle of sophistication and serenity in the heart of the highly sought after eastern suburbs. Every element of the residence has been thoughtfully designed and recast to provide stylish and relaxed family living.

Nestled comfortably in from a meticulously maintained front hedge, which extends to the side and rear, this superb home on 1,082 square metres surprises with its exuberant and cleverly designed spaces, soaring ceilings, and a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.

Situated in the exclusive enclave of Tusmore, this four-bedroom, three bathrooms/powder room home, with expansive living spaces, including an upstairs retreat, is a seamless blend of modern and functionality.

A wide driveway and lawned area lead to the front porch, with its stained-glass windows and door surrounds, giving a nod to the home's bungalow origins (c. 1930s).

On entry, the original bungalow rooms at the front have been comprehensively adapted into a light and bright functional living space that could be the parents' retreat. Designed for ease and privacy, it comprises a lounge, study (with outside access), sitting area and master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe.

Here is the first glimpse of the crisp white palette adopted throughout, which so beautifully compliments the rich jarrah timber floors. A quality neutral carpet is on the stairs and upstairs mezzanine retreat.

Once through the double doors and into the family room, the dramatic appeal is immediately evident – soaring ceilings, an entertainer's dream with an easy flow between living, dining, family areas, and gourmet kitchen with its feature granite benchtop, quality appliances and abundant cupboard space. Double doors open to an alfresco entertaining area overlooking the expansive lawn and sundrenched pool.

To the left, in a separate wing, are bedrooms two, three and four, of generous proportions, each with large built-in robes. Two further bedrooms could easily be created on the Mezzanine/ retreat and the study with french doors opening to the courtyard. A large bathroom (with spa bath) and a powder room also open from the hallway here. The laundry, with plentiful storage, is at the rear and enjoys external access.

The upstairs retreat, a feature of the family space, has an attractive surrounding 'gated' balcony, and overlooks the glimmering pool and water fountain from above, as well as the magnificent backdrop of the gum trees of nearby Tusmore Park. There is also some readily accessible roof-space storage from the mezzanine.

The property has undercover parking for two cars and room for several more. There is a garden and pool shed at the rear.

Northumberland Street is a splendid avenue of trees, wide pavements and attractive kerbside plantings. The famed Tusmore Park, with its mature trees, shaded wading pool, playground, creek and tennis courts is a short stroll away.

Hazelwood Park is a 10 minute walk, and it's a short drive to the cosmopolitan buzz of the Norwood Parade and to the newly expanding Burnside Village.

Tusmore is zoned for the highly sought after Linden Park Primary School, Marryatville High School, Marryatville Primary School and the McKellar Stewart Kindergarten. It is also in close proximity to fine private schools including Loreto College, Pembroke School, Seymour College and St Peter's Girls' School.
