Description

Kincora built in 1902 is a classic Burnaby Edwardian four/five bedroom semi detached family home standing tall on the leafy Kinlen Road, a road renowned for its convenience to Greystones beach, Dart station and town centre itself. Representative of its Edwardian era the front elevation showcases a picturesque veranda, sash windows and a solid hall door framed with individual glass panels. Kincora with its many original period features represents an effortless blend of old worlde charm and elegance, enhanced by modern design features throughout. Beautifully maintained and extensively upgraded, the current owners are responsible for the extension which offers up a Hampton style dining room with vaulted ceiling, a utility room and a garden room with french doors out to the landscaped rear garden all leading into the open plan kitchen. The impressive hand painted Kerwood kitchen showcases a duck egg blue gas Aga and large island style breakfast counter ideally positioned for casual dining whilst enjoying garden views. The extended accommodation links well with the original living rooms creating an ease of flow throughout the house. On inspection of the floorplan one will note that the practical layout offers the best of both worlds showcasing a harmonious contrast of open plan areas and more formal reception rooms. Natural light is in abundance here thanks to the combination of well proportioned rooms, open plan layouts, generous use of windows impressive in both style and size, high ceilings, and velux roof lights. Upstairs a guest attic room and bathroom were added accessed by a new staircase which matches the main Edwardian style staircase. All bathrooms were newly fitted in 2015 to include a family bathroom looking out on the garden, an ensuite bathroom added to the master bedroom, a downstairs wc and attic shower room. Additional features include wide plank solid oiled oak flooring in the hall, dining room and kitchen area, original fireplaces in most rooms including the bedrooms, picture rails, cornicing, coving, pitch pine original floor boards and internal doors. Kincora is an idyllic winter house as much as it is a summer one where one can conjure up images of lantern lights flickering through the sash windows at Christmas and in turn envisage enjoying cool drinks whilst relaxing in the garden cabana on warmer summer evenings. The mature rear garden is not overlooked and comprises of a large lawned area with mature specimen trees, shrubs, boundary hedging. A sun lounging limestone patio is a lovely feature as is the delightful tree house in an old apple tree. Garden lovers will be impressed with the overall maturity of the gardens and its manageable size. As a result of the current owners impeccable taste, style, and exacting standards this property is a jaw dropping masterpiece of perfection. A home of such distinction which no doubt will exceed even the most discerning of buyers expectations. THE LOCATION The Burnaby Estate is renowned for imposing aspirational homes discretely tucked away behind high gates, stone pillars and mature manicured hedges symbolising grandeur, exclusivity and that all alluring sense of historical charm. Former residents such as a former president and professional business classes would have appreciated the privacy and seclusion which indeed continues to exist to this day within the Burnaby. Eamon De Valera reportedly lived next door to Kincora during the early years of his marriage up to 1921. Greystones having won the accolade of most liveable community is consistently attracting new residents and the return of young couples who have grown up in the area. The Marina and Harbour are fantastic additions to the town and offer sailing/kayaking/diving and fishing activities adding to the plethora of sporting and other leisure pursuits.
