45 Gordon Street, Clontarf

Superbly redesigned to take full advantage of a breathtaking Middle Harbour and cityscape panorama from all three levels, this classic English Tudor-style residence has been transformed into a haven of luxurious liveability, seamless versatility and spectacular entertaining. An elegant formal lounge room with a cosy fireplace offers a graceful nod to the home's glory days, while smart renovations include an extensive open-plan living and dining area flowing seamlessly to a harbour-view terrace and a family room with a wet bar. The family room, when combined with the adjoining bedroom, bathroom and bar/kitchenette transforms into a flexible, near self-contained sanctuary, perfect for in-laws, teens or guests. Nestled amid beautifully manicured gardens with a sparkling heated pool, its exclusive dress circle address is only a short stroll to the primary school and village shops, and an easy walk to Sandy Bay and Clontarf Beach.
