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.

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.

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.

This breathtaking, one-of-a-kind residence evokes an aura of open, countryside living, with ample conveniences nearby. Walk to Scotch College, the local supermarket, tennis club, swimming pools, gyms, the train station and Claremont Quarter.
