GRAND DESIGN FROM GRAND IDEAS

In a masterful reworking of a classic villa, this divine architect's-own home now delivers up not only plentiful and flexible living, an outdoor loggia and three-car garaging, but also a self-contained pool-side apartment as the perfect guest suite or teen retreat. Beyond the welcoming gate and velvet lawns, a master bedroom has a dressing room and semi-ensuite, while a room annexed to the vast living space can be a studio, home office, or second sitting area - you choose. Throw open the doors to the Louvre-tec loggia and dine while the kids play in the swim-jet pool below. Cook up a storm in the designer kitchen, or relax in the beautifully proportioned living space with its grand windows and high ceilings. Internal access leads to the garage, workshop (wired for conversion to a fifth bedroom), and the one-bedroom apartment. At the no-exit end of Jervois Rd, you're moments from cafes, shops and parks.
