Golden Oldie
Step into a piece of history — a grand, character-filled double-storey home nestled against the serene slopes of Northcliff Hill. This is not just a house: she’s a “grand old lady,” patiently waiting for a young, energetic family to restore her to the glory of her yesteryear.
From almost every room, you’re greeted by sweeping mountain vistas — a daily reminder of peace, calm, and possibility.
You could walk into a gracious soulful entrance hall. To your right, a formal lounge with a crackling fireplace and expansive views. To the left, a cozy TV room — also with those same arresting views. Adjacent to the TV room, you’ll find a convenient guest cloakroom and a study — perfect for working from home, reading, or just daydreaming.
Upstairs Flow: The dining room overlooks the lounge below, opening into a courtyard framed by majestic, established trees — living history. A spacious kitchen with solid wooden cupboards, a double eye-level oven, a stovetop, and a scullery tucked at the back for extra storage or prep space. Four very generous bedrooms — each one offering breathtaking mountain views and full of light and space. Four bathrooms complete the picture — no fights in the morning!
Onsite staff quarters offer great flexibility. Four garages + outside buildings. A sprawling 2,555 sqm stand — ample room for gardens, expansion, or simply breathing space.
The character of this home is timeless — high ceilings, period details, mature trees, vaulted rooflines. But she does need some love, care, and vision.
This is a rare chance to bring an architectural gem back to life. With some restoration and imagination, you can transform her into a showpiece — a home that offers both character and modern comfort. It’s a labour of love, but the payoff is monumental.
Imagine afternoon sunsets over the mountains, quiet mornings in the courtyard, and the laughter of family echoing through spacious rooms built to stand the test of time.
This old lady is a clean canvas. You can restore, reimagine, and raise new memories within walls that have watched decades pass.
