35 Cook Street, Northgate.

This spectacular Colonial residence is set high on Cook Street, one of the most prestigious and sought-after streets in Northgate, on a 1416sqmtr block. The home is surrounded by similar beautiful character homes, within a welcoming community, where Grand Estates like this simply do not come to market. Owned by just a few lucky families since it was built over 100 years ago in 1919, the home has had extensive renovations and extensions over the years as it has adapted to the changing needs of the family. The traditional full width front verandah was enclosed around 1950. Classic period features such as VJ walls and soaring 3.1m metre high ceilings, picture rails, breezeways and timber floors blend with plantation shutters, bi-fold doors, down-lights, ceiling fans and ducted air-conditioning to create a beautiful and comfortable home for a large family. As you enter the home via the front verandah and entry hall you will be drawn to the expansive, light filled, open plan rear living, dining and kitchen areas which unfold seamlessly through bi-fold doors, to a wide wrap-around deck overlooking the championship sized, flood-lit tennis court and manicured back gardens. The expansive formal dining room is a wonderful place to entertain with full width bi-fold doors overlooking the garden and tennis court. Entertainers and avid cooks will love the home's large kitchen which offers a long breakfast bar, granite benchtops, high-end appliances and an abundance of storage. Also on the upper level are three generously sized bedrooms including the master suite which offers built-in storage as well as a walk-in robe and well-appointed ensuite. The second and third bedrooms also offer scope for ensuites or walk-in robes. The upper level is serviced by the main bathroom suite which includes a separate powder room plus a full bathroom. Internal stairs lead to the lower level which has been raised to a height of 2.5m. A very large family room flows through bi-fold doors to more covered outdoor spaces surrounded by mature gardens, extending your entertainment options on ground level. A large, grassed area would be an ideal space to include an inground pool (STCA). The outdoor areas are very private. While the home has not been recently renovated, all of the bathrooms and kitchen were replaced some years ago and present in excellent condition. There is great scope to further renovate to create a very special residence. There are four large bedrooms on the lower level, one of which has its own ensuite, plus a full bathroom and separate toilet. Three of the four bedrooms downstairs feature large built-in robes whilst the fourth bedroom has space to add robes. It would be quite easy to create a fully self-contained granny flat with private entry on this level as well, appealing to the buyers looking for dual living opportunity. There is no shortage of storage with an oversized garage plus a large storage room/workshop conveniently positioned next to the garage.
