For those with a love of Victorian architecture Petersham holds many treasures. Among the finest is ‘Mandamah’ - a grand gentleman’s residence built circa 1883. Brand new architectural renovations have maintained the home’s refined period feel, whilst adding first-class finishes and creating stunning spaces for living and entertaining.
The supremely spacious freestanding residence features a vast open-plan lower level. Visitors enter to a splendid formal lounge and formal dining room, which both feature marble fireplaces, tall ceilings and exquisite ornate cornices. At the northern end, an expansive light-filled living space is adjoined by a deluxe chef’s kitchen which features custom-built timber cabinetry, marble benchtops, plus Ilve and Miele appliances. For effortless entertaining, the smartly designed kitchen also features bi-fold doors and an extended counter which stretches into the sandstone courtyard.
Upstairs the home has four double bedrooms, including one with a fireplace and two with large wrought iron balconies. The property also offers two elegant bathrooms, including one with a claw-foot slipper bath, tessellated tile floors and a double marble vanity.
Outside is an idyllic landscaped garden which features a lush lawn and a private sandstone entertaining space with a hardwood pergola and a built-in gas barbecue. The property also comes with a carport and additional off-street parking.
Desirably situated, Mandamah stands in a tranquil position, within a brief stroll of local shops, Petersham Station and the popular Little Lisbon restaurant district. For more information Contact Mark Bowis 0415 681 628
