Standing gracefully within De Vesci Terrace, with the iconic statues of Castor and Pollux residing proudly above, is this remarkable double-fronted period residence, dating back to circa1830’s, which underwent a thoughtful and extensive renovation in 2009, to an exceptional level of finish. The blend of original features with contemporary enhancements creates a home that exudes unique character while catering to the needs of modern living. The three-story extension to the rear complements the original structure beautifully, adding extra space to the living room on the garden level, a breakfast room on the hall floor, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom in the principal bedroom suite on the first floor.
