Elevated and resplendent, this magnificent late 1850s residence commands attention from the very first moment. Built for Captain Carmichael, after which the homestead is named, it gazes out over sprawling, manicured terraced gardens, presenting a tranquil oasis in the heart of Parnell.

Beyond the stately facade, discover a meticulously remodelled residence, the interiors retaining their period charm while embracing modern comforts, resulting in a spacious family haven that feels both intimate and inviting.

At the heart of the entertaining level is the stunning new kitchen, a chef’s dream featuring a Falcon oven and marble island perfect for gatherings. A seamless connection to the gardens and courtyard provides impeccable outdoor dining opportunities, while the formal dining room, anchored by a handsome working fireplace, offers a sophisticated respite for intimate hosting. French doors open to the enchanting gardens, where a cedar hot tub invites relaxation amidst the lush greenery. Meander down to the delightful garden room, affectionately dubbed the Army Hut.

Also on this floor is a separate media room. Ascend a level and you are greeted by the primary suite, a haven of indulgence featuring a luxurious ensuite and generous walk-in robe. A second bedroom, once the original master, boasts its own ensuite, while the upper level reveals a delightful hideaway room nestled under the eaves, an ideal teen retreat, studio or media room.

A beautifully remodelled and completely self-contained studio apartment with loft above the double garage offers a private retreat for guests or a lucrative rental opportunity.

The heritage-listed home’s position in the highly coveted precinct of Parnell is enhanced by its elevated orientation on a prominent corner site featuring rare dual street access.

Zoned DGZ and handy to esteemed local schools, surrounded by Parnell’s vibrant cafes, restaurants, and upmarket boutiques, this remarkable property offers an unparalleled lifestyle.
