11 Arthur Street, Bellevue Hill NSW

Veiled behind a discreet façade, this newly renovated home unfolds as a flowing family oasis inspired by Mediterranean design elements and superb district panoramas. The entry path lined with olive trees and a grainy stone wall extends beyond the main entrance to offer guests direct level access to the private outdoor entertaining escape with garden at the rear of the home.

Preserving elements of the original c1920 building, the ground level is intelligently configured to establish family accommodation at one end, providing two bedroom alongside a northerly living area and sunroom/study. Every room stimulates the senses with benchmark design that is conscious of look and texture. In a spectacular revelation, the entertaining area presents lavish green marble slabs across the benchtops of the island kitchen and the wet bar, with custom cabinets concealing three built-in fridges and abundant storage to inspire the home chef.

Significant in the recent renovation of the home is the mastery of natural light, with skylights achieving a consistently uplifting mood from one space to another. The upper level provides another two bedrooms, with the lion's share of space rightfully dedicated to the parents' suite. This retreat is the perfect tonic to the busy-ness of family life, liberally spaced and equipped with generous wardrobes and a gorgeous bathroom, plus a quiet private balcony with panoramas stretching to the city.

Welcome to an esteemed eastern suburbs enclave, set between the modern amenities of Bondi Junction's CBD and Double Bay's glamorous café and restaurant precinct. Cooper Park, Scots Preparatory College and Woollahra Golf Club are also close to home.
