Substantial 1926 Family House in Hyde Park

A substantial two storey house built in 1926 on one of the quieter avenues in Hyde Park, held by the same family for thirty years and now carefully brought up to date. The plan is properly cellular rather than open, which is much of the appeal, with a panelled entry hall opening to a formal living room on one side and a separate dining room on the other. Original quarter sawn oak floors, picture rails and painted woodwork run throughout, and a pair of built in bookcases flank the brick fireplace in the living room. The kitchen has been rebuilt at the rear in deep navy shaker cabinetry with marble worktops, brass fittings and a original butler pantry alongside. Four bedrooms sit upstairs off a wide landing, the largest with its own bathroom, and the family bathroom keeps its original black and white tile floor. A deep screened porch runs across the back of the house onto a mature garden with a stone terrace, raised beds and two large pecans. A detached single garage sits at the end of the driveway.
