247 Stanmore Road, Stanmore NSW 2048

One of Stanmore's landmark manor homes, 'Grasmere' dates to the 1890s and today stands as a fine example of Victorian Italianate style architecture on a level 695sqm block just down from Newington College and 400m to Stanmore station. With a sweeping gated driveway affording a true sense of arrival, the two-storey residence strikes a perfect chord between historic grandeur and contemporary luxury, with a wonderful dialogue between the old and new. Soaring ornate ceilings, marble fireplaces and polished hardwood floors lend an air of timeless elegance to the formal rooms, while a contemporary extension anchored by a designer kitchen serves as the social heart of the home opening out to a north-facing deck. With five king-sized bedrooms on the upper level, a home office and multiple living rooms, this is a rare opportunity to secure a forever family home in a connected pocket of the inner west, 900m down to Enmore's celebrated dining and live music scene and 300m to Stanmore Public School.
