Some homes are built to fill a stand. This one was positioned to make the most of it.
Set on one of Greenside’s most desirable tree-lined streets, this remarkable north-facing residence enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining close to the area’s most important amenities. Homes of this character, scale and configuration seldom come to market.
Perched above the street, the home makes an immediate impression. Its elevated position, terraced garden and commanding architecture create a sense of arrival, while its placement towards the rear corner of the stand allows the property to take full advantage of the northern light and preserve an unusually generous, mature garden.
The swimming pool is privately positioned and secured behind a safety fence, creating a more reassuring environment for families with children.
Inside, the home has been comprehensively maintained and refreshed, from the roof and gutters to the paintwork, without sacrificing the original charm that makes it so distinctive. Beautiful wooden floors, high ceilings, original architectural details and a soft, neutral colour palette give the interiors a timeless yet fresh character.
The entrance draws your eye immediately towards expansive floor-to-ceiling stackable doors, opening the living spaces onto the covered patio and garden beyond. The open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen form the heart of the home, designed for effortless everyday living and generous entertaining.
Also on the ground floor is a completely private guest suite comprising its own lounge, bedroom and bathroom. This flexible space is ideal for extended family, visiting guests, an older child or anyone requiring a degree of independence.
The original wooden staircase leads to the upper level, where three exceptionally spacious bedrooms offer abundant built-in cupboard space and natural light. A separate television room or pyjama lounge interleads between two of the bedrooms and could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom.
The main suite is a true retreat. Impressively proportioned and filled with natural light, it includes a walk-in dressing room, a separate private study and an en-suite bathroom with double basins, a spa bath and a shower.
Practicality has been considered just as carefully as comfort. The property includes backup electricity supplied by an LPG generator, a JoJo tank for backup water, excellent security and substantial staff accommodation comprising a bedroom, bathroom and private lounge with its own entrance.
The enormous four-car garage offers far more than secure parking. Its exceptional size provides valuable additional space for storage, hobbies, a workshop, a home gym or a collection of vehicles.
This is not simply a beautifully presented Greenside home. It is a rare combination of position, proportions, privacy, character and thoughtful modernisation—set on a stand that has been used exceptionally well.
A home of this calibre deserves to be experienced in person.
