35 Werona Avenue

Commissioned by the Hardys winemaking family in the 1930s, this tightly held full-brick home stands as a refined expression of enduring craftsmanship. Sitting on a staggering 1,239sqm parcel, an elegant drive-through portico introduces a home of glorious proportions and period finery. High ceilings, signature curves and stunning natural light flow throughout the expansive lounge, dining and family-style living. Anchored by an eat-in kitchen with outdoor access, a series of bedrooms are complemented by a generously proportioned primary suite and flawlessly enclosed balcony. Enriched with character-filled details, from a drinks room to beautiful bay windows, hardwood floors and a distinctive fireplace, a lower-level introduces a collection of large multi-use utility rooms. Surrounded by established gardens, sandstone-paved entertaining leads to a saltwater pool, enjoying the privacy of a high-hedged camellia wall and north-east aspects. Mere steps from Killara train station, moments from parks, and convenient to prestigious schools including Killara High School, this is a home of remarkable distinction, celebrated for both what it is today and the possibilities it presents.
