16 Margaret Street
Canterbury

An exquisitely renovated family haven in one of Canterbury’s most esteemed positions, ‘Cromer’ presents a flawless synthesis of its original circa 1910 Edwardian character with the very finest cotemporary designer luxury. Framing verdant vistas of its lush, landscaped gardens, the home presents four bedrooms, two bathrooms and study while evoking the sense of being a private enclave that flows effortlessly to poolside alfresco entertaining, all in a privileged position that is pivotal to so many elite private schools while also enjoying zoning for Canterbury Primary School, Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College.

Grandly elevated and introduced via a traditional leadlight entrance – including an iconic circular window – the home culminates in a tastefully renovated open-plan living / dining area that is warmed by a gas log fireplace. Underpinned by a gourmet, stone-topped kitchen in which a Wolf oven / cooktop is complemented by a Miele dishwasher, Franke sink with Zip water and a clever Butler’s Pantry, the open-plan extends outdoors to the sanctuary of a bluestone-paved living and dining area that basks in dappled sunshine beneath an attractive creeping grapevine.

The primary bedroom is a divine indulgence with a fully-tiled ensuite and walk-in robes, whilst the home office reveals a wonderful bay window with bench seating and leafy outlooks that form the backdrop of a joyful working environment. Further highlights of this immaculate, detail-oriented residence include another bay window and a fireplace in a particularly ambient lounge room, a showpiece central bathroom that highlights brushed brass tapware and a double lock-up garage that is accessed from the rear via a ROW, plus there is a remote security alarm, ducted heating and zoned refrigerated air conditioning.

Aside from its almost unrivalled access to quality government and non-government schooling, this leafy location is also coveted for proximity to Maling Road’s refined café precinct, Chatham Railway Station and the glorious gardens that differentiate Canterbury.
