As you enter the gate and ascend the garden path, there is no inkling of what you are about to experience. You will be awestruck by the sight of the formal Italian inspired courtyard; featuring a trellised portico, ponds and perfect symmetry of form. Your eye is further led on to the treed hillside of the Botanic Gardens, over the city to the harbour and beyond, all of which becomes a seamless extension of this amazingly landscaped garden. You would be hard pressed to find a more idyllic outdoor entertaining area. Just as the garden has taken decades to reach what it is now, the charming villa has been brought back to life with the inclusion of beautiful fireplaces, high quality furnishings and distinctive decor. Numerous sets of French doors add character and allow extra light in, as well as providing direct access to the garden, conservatory or the loggia an intimate space to enjoy covered outdoor dining. The light-filled kitchen overlooks yet another courtyard, (complete with pond and beautiful potted maples) and flows to the dining room which is open to the lounge. For those who love and appreciate absolute beauty, and whose living environment is important to them, you will not want to miss this unique and rare offering.
