15 Cockle Street draws natural light through large windows, providing beautiful views of the gardens and elevated views that provide a sense of beauty with the passing of each season.
“The house has an amazing elevated position, which is a big selling feature,” says Holly. “It’s perched among treetops, providing maximum privacy and stunning views across the city lights through to Mount Ainslie. It doesn’t get better than that.”
Walking through the front doors immediately sets the scene, with the sun-filled entranceway featuring stunning glass inserts.
The open plan formal lounge and dining room offer a graceful sense of space with their high ceilings and flexible layout.
“Polished timber floors feature throughout, adding further character and warmth,” says Holly. “The designer pendant light in the living room, a Gaetono Sciolari 1960s modernist chandelier made in Italy, is one of dozens of intriguing stylish elements this home offers.”
The kitchen, with satin-finished timber floors, is the heart of the home. It’s in immaculate shape. The modern appliances include a Miele dishwasher, five-burner Smeg gas hob and double Kleenmaid oven. The kitchen connects seamlessly to a meals area where family and friends gather to toast life.
