'Glenayre' | Historic Villa
Set in Private and Lush
Botanic Setting
Originally constructed circa 1900 for the Wheaton family, the namesake of the road in which this villa proudly stands, is this historic residence being released for the first time in over 100 years.
Representing near limitless potential, the opportunity exists to renovate, extend or redevelop with the potential to construct 5 new homes (STCC) on this immense holding of approx. 1260 sqm.
The legacy of this prominent Plympton holding dates back generations within the same family who now wish for a new custodian to add to its rich history.
In its current form 'Glenayre' incorporates a multitude of coveted heritage features, including towering 3.4m ceilings highlighted by stunning feature pressed tin and oversized cornicing, collectively presenting as a delightful ode to a bygone era. Complementary to the architecture, the enveloping English cottage-style manicured gardens have been developed and enhanced over 100 years.
The charming and serene botanic setting offers an impressive catalogue of mature plantings including roses, camellias, wisteria, frangipani, salvias, star jasmine, pomegranate tree, crepe myrtle, Norfolk pine and lush lawns to name a few.
Internally, the master bedroom with BIR is cleverly separated from the main living areas by the central, grand living room with feature fireplace and oil heater enhanced by a picturesque box bay window permitting glorious views to the garden.
This convenient division of wings enables privacy from the other bedrooms and formal dining room. Meanwhile, the kitchen overlooks the scenic rear garden and is complete with kitchen island, Miele dishwasher, two Bosch ovens plus plate warming drawer, copious timber cabinetry and Caesarstone benchtops.
Further features to this magnificent, irreplaceable holding include:
Cellar Two rain water tanks Garden shed Double garage Workshop Barbecue pavilion Pergola with fern garden Security system Reverse Cycle Ducted AC Cubby house BIRs in bedrooms In-built bookcase in bedroom 3
Situated between the city and surf, the home is zoned for Plympton International College and Glandore Community Kindergarten as well as being near prestigious Immanuel College.
For those seeking to add to the legacy of this tightly held historic holding, 38 Wheaton Road awaits.
