The unforgettable reality is a home so thoughtfully reimagined that it feels less like a renovation and more like a second coming entirely - a sandstone deco beauty reborn for modern living without surrendering an ounce of its soul. Built and beloved by the Percival family before being rescued from demolition and transformed through a meticulous restoration and striking 2024 extension, 'Percival House' now stands as a masterclass in old-meets-new design with purpose in every detail. Behind its landscaped gardens and picture-perfect façade, polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and deco detailing honour the character of its mid-century origins from the very first step.A versatile front lounge, wrapped in curved window and anchored by a combustion fireplace, settles into its role as both versatile retreat and flawless welcome. A grand main bedroom continues the calibre with a seated bay window, extensive robes, and a luxe emerald-hued ensuite that feels equal parts boutique hotel and design editorial.Two additional bedrooms and a central study crowned by a Velux skylight continue the story, threading flexibility and functionality through the original floorplan with ease.Then a luminous rear extension shifts the narrative entirely.A secondary hallway doubles as a mudroom and transition space, weaving past a blush-toned family bathroom complete with freestanding tub and frameless shower. An oversized separate laundry and dedicated storeroom elevate the everyday practicalities without compromising the aesthetic for a second.With zero hesitation, an undeniable apex of a rear living pavilion exhales under soaring lines and northern light, uniting lounge and dining in one fluid sweep. A box bay window frames the gardens like living artwork, while a Nectre wood burner delivers atmosphere for gatherings both grand and intimate.At the heart, a statement kitchen stands as the showpiece, bold green cabinetry, bone matte tiling, aged brass hardware, and stone benchtops layered in perfect harmony over a wide island and a suite of high-performing appliances. Seamless sightlines ensure a hub equal parts workhorse and social centre, while a butler's pantry keeps the chaos hidden when entertaining takes centre stage.Sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending the living footprint onto a polished alfresco deck wrapped in lush Adelaide Hills-inspired gardens. There's room to host, room to unwind, and room to embrace the slower rituals of home, right down to a Hen house standing ready for your flock to flourish.And while the style is unforgettable, practicality hasn't missed a beat either. Passive design, energy efficient double glazing, off-street parking, security system, rainwater tanks, irrigation, and dual ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning units ensure modern comfort is woven into every inch.Then there's the lifestyle. From morning coffees on Queen Street to pizza nights at One Sneaky Cheetah, this is Croydon Park with every local favourite already on cue. With Prospect Road, Port Road, quality schooling, shopping, and effortless CBD access all within easy reach, the very best of the inner west is firmly at your fingertips.More to love:•\tC1955 sandstone villa on 705sqm parcel with northerly rear•\tFully renovated throughout•\tPassively designed, 6-star energy rated custom extension, constructed 2024•\tSecure single carport and additional off-street parking•\tLandscaped gardens inspired by the Adelaide Hills, with Silver Birch trees, lush lawns and hedging, and salvaged red-brick edging•\tDucted, zoned air-conditioning throughout, with two units and Wi-Fi connectivity•\tCombustion wood burners to living areas•\tHigh-end bathrooms with gold hardware, frameless showers, and wide wall-hung vanities, with freestanding bath to main•\tCaesarstone benchtops to kitchen, butler's pantry, laundry, and bathrooms•\tDown and feature pendant lighting•\tGourmet kitchen with farmhouse sink, butler's pantry, Westinghouse wide gas cooktop, dual Bosch electric ovens, and dual integrated dishwashers•\tAlfresco entertaining area with ceiling fan and composite timber decking•\tGarden shed and chook yard•\tOversized separate laundry with exterior access to utility courtyard with pergola•\tDouble glazed windows to extension•\tPolished timber and hybrid timber floors, with herringbone tiling to laundry•\tVelux skylights to hallway, study, and butler's pantry•\tPlantation shutters•\tSecurity system with CCTV cameras and motion sensors•\tRinnai gas instantaneous hot water service•\tSlimline rainwater tanks, plumbed to laundry and irrigation•\tCarport equipped with dedicated three-phase power, ideal for EV charging.
