501 Shakespeare Terrace, Bluff Hill

Holding pride of place on a coveted Bluff Hill enclave, this grand and much-loved character property unveils unparalleled opportunities, has been tightly held by just four owners since the late 1800s and has been treasured by the current family for decades. This extraordinarily rare find invites visions of revitalisation or renovation on the recently subdivided grounds, offering sea views in a picturesque and elevated position. Anchoring this unique offering are a mix of detailed character and period features that capture the essence of Napier Hill history. The living is based on the ground level and unveils a blend of family and formal living spaces, including a kitchen that connects to both the laundry-utility area (with the bonus of a second bathroom from the office) and merges fluidly with the dining and living area. A separate family room plus a separate games room continues to aid space and opportunity. The allure is further accentuated by an impressive entrance hallway and detailed leadlight door, characterised by its high stud that draws in the natural light. Upstairs offers four well-proportioned bedrooms that share the comforts of a generous family bathroom. All four bedrooms are light-filled, offering either a sea view or a pleasant outlook of the established grounds and surrounding Napier Hill aspect. Complementing the property are the impressive drive-on grounds with ample off-street parking, which is a rarity for this area, with a double carport aided by additional storage and workshop. The recently subdivided grounds (817 sq m more or less) are superbly situated for sunshine, with the sheltered lawn area providing a surprising and relaxing alfresco haven too.
