'Taiho' Villa - 165 Years in the Making

'Taiho', an 1860s north-facing villa commanding an elevated position on a 3176sqm freehold section, is a landmark residence that captures the grace and style of a bygone era while offering contemporary comforts for modern living. Fully fenced and gated for privacy and security, the property provides generous space for families to enjoy, along with the potential to develop the expansive grounds to meet your families' aspirations, as those before you have done.

Steeped in character, the home showcases its original architectural charm with high stud ceilings, polished timber floors, leadlight windows, and elegant bay windows. Spread across two levels, the home features five bedrooms, including an additional room ideal as a home office or study, and two bathrooms - one retaining its original fixtures and a cast-iron bathtub that reflects the home's period appeal.

In 2016, Salmon Reed reimagined the kitchen and dining area, creating an open-plan space that connects naturally to a landscaped courtyard and pool. The design balances modern function with respect for the home's heritage.

The living and lounge area flows to a wraparound veranda, framing views of the surrounding gardens and offering an elegant setting for gatherings or quiet retreat.

Completing the property is a double carport with an integrated workshop and storage, providing everyday functionality within this refined setting.

Homes of this calibre and provenance seldom come to market. 'Taiho' stands as a testament to timeless design - beautifully maintained, sympathetically modernised, and perfectly positioned for its next chapter.
