Houses in prestigious St Vincent Place are hard to come by.

The very definition of tightly held, this four-bedroom beauty has been in the vendors’ family since 1982.

The block sprawls over 731 square metres, making it the second-largest allotment on the northside of the precinct.

The house itself, Windermere, sits back from the street, giving it a secluded, rather than imposing, presence.

The owners have lovingly retained period details from the original circa-1868 build, such as pressed metal ceilings, iron lacework and leadlight windows. However, recent refurbishments have ensured the home looks fresh, inside and out.

The style throughout is luxuriously traditional, bar the kitchen-meals area, which is ultra-modern. Then there’s the north-facing rear courtyard – a highlight – in which landscape designer Paul Bangay has reinvented the formal garden for the 21st century.

A marble water feature is framed by topiary and flowering trees. The effect is pared-back yet still lush.

Just as manicured is the landscaped forecourt that leads to the front verandah. Step across it into the arched entrance hall, to admire the formal sitting and dining room to your right.

To the left of the hall is the main suite, which is as sumptuous as you’d expect. It has a huge bedroom with an open fireplace and a window seat, a dressing room and a marble en suite bathroom.

The zoning of the house is family-friendly: the children can claim the first floor, which comprises the other three bedrooms plus central bathroom.

The kitchen-meals area – sleek with oak and white cabinetry and black tapware – is a delight. The Miele appliances include an induction cooktop, two wall ovens and a dishwasher.

This space and the adjacent family room connect to the entertaining terrace on the rear verandah – the best seat in the house for views of the formal garden.

Other features of the property include a single garage with rear access via Draper Street, ducted gas heating, splitsystem airconditioning, home office, wine cellar, separate laundry and abundant storage.
