Canterbury 9 Rochester Road

At Home in the Hollywood Hills

Highlighted by the impressive elevation, this 2 storey, Spanish influenced grand residence could have easily been at home in the Hollywood Hills of the 1920s, even down to the magnificent palm tree standing sentinel at the front.

Behind 2 sets of automatic gates, this 5 bedroom home provides a secure family haven, complete with heated pool, mod-grass tennis court and paved alfresco area, which has been extended over the years and now comprises generous formal living and dining rooms, an expansive kitchen and family/meals space and an upstairs rumpus area to accommodate family members of all ages.

The original features remaining in the home, timber panelling, decorative mantels, glass doors, ceiling beams and timber floors, blend comfortably with the gas log fires, ducted heating, stunning contemporary kitchen, butler's pantry and semi-circular glass meals setting, of more modern times.

2 bedrooms are on the ground level, the indulgent main bedroom with a huge picture window framing the lush garden, a dressing area, ensuite and spa, and a second double bedroom with built-in-shelving and the capacity to convert to a study. Upstairs 3 further bedrooms share the stylishly well-equipped bathroom and a spacious store room opens off the rumpus area.

With most rooms having the use of either a private terrace or a balcony, a delightful retreat to catch a sunny afternoon siesta or a cool evening breeze, this splendid home is perfectly positioned in one of Canterbury's most prestigious tree lined streets just a short walk from the delights of Maling Road, the convenience of Canterbury Station and minutes to premier schools.
