39 Alexandra Avenue

Tucked into Alexandra Avenue's most distinguished stretch, this C1908 villa unfolds across its generous 959sqm (approx.) with a scale and presence rarely matched. Lovingly extended in a manner sympathetic to its origins, the home marries grand heritage proportions with a considered modern extension - five spacious bedrooms and a flow between formal and open-plan living that few properties of this calibre can achieve so effortlessly. From the first step, a wide entry hall that hints at the sense of space and light to come, where 12.5ft ornate ceilings, original stained glass and fretwork frame the path between both formal spaces. The remodelled kitchen truly stands as the heart of the home: Caesarstone-topped, fitted with quality appliances, skylit overhead and generous in its extensive range of floor-to-ceiling storage. A four-bedroom wing skirts the central hub, led by a master with its own original fireplace and adjacent modern bathroom with the added luxury of underfloor heating. The wide skylit hallway continues to link each room, engineered flooring and high architraves carrying the same sense of grandeur into the contemporary extension - built with as much solidity as its original counterpart. The high ceilings never dip, and what currently serves as a light-filled music room is ready to become the new pulse of daily living, large enough for the biggest of families and bathed in north-facing light through French doors, clerestory windows and stained glass commissioned to echo the home's heritage. Downstairs offers further flexibility again - configure as an additional living zone, a cellar with under-stair storage, or the perfect fifth bedroom - each space lit to feel like a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought. Outside, a tessellated porch wraps the home, overlooking generous rear gardens flooded with north-facing sun and lawn to spare. Citrus, pear and nectarine trees flourish here, all maintained by automatic Rainbird irrigation front to back. Rear access leads to double garaging and an undercover carport, completing one of Rose Park's most accomplished fusions of old and new - on a street that has remained tightly held for generations, and a home that once you move in, you'll never want to leave. Everything about this address feels elegant, elevated and effortless - a Rose Park statement in every sense.
