Welcome to "Driftwood", an enchanting 1920s Kiama residence where more than a century of character sits beautifully alongside a considered contemporary extension and gorgeous established gardens.
Set on approximately 650m² with a prized north-facing aspect, Driftwood has been lovingly renovated with enormous respect for its original architecture. Cedar Cricket Pitch doors, wide skirting boards and architraves, picture rails, timber windows, individual plaster cornices and beautiful Art Deco lighting retain the soul of the original home.
A thoughtfully designed 2017 extension has introduced the space and functionality required for modern family living, while feeling completely at home with the original residence.
At its heart is a beautiful Lamberts kitchen, featuring Caesarstone Calacatta benchtops, Smeg Victoria appliances, antique white subway tiles and a 1901-style laboratory sink. Four generous bedrooms are complemented by the original lounge and a separate snug/study with oval stained-glass windows opening out onto the undercover deck.
The bathrooms continue the home's timeless aesthetic with traditional tapware, subway tiles, Olde English checkerboard floors and a striking black-and-white enamel bath.
Outside, the gardens are an integral part of Driftwood's charm. Old-fashioned plantings in a predominantly blue and white palette, white wisteria, reclaimed Sydney sandstone and established greenery have been carefully designed to provide privacy and beautiful outlooks from the home.
Original French doors with Flemish glass open to the sandstone-tiled entertaining area, creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out.
The name "Driftwood" references both the extensive use of timber throughout the home and its connection to Kiama's Pacific coastline.
Some homes impress because they are new.
Others stay with you because they have character, warmth and a sense of belonging.
Driftwood is very much the latter.
Lovingly preserved, thoughtfully extended and surrounded by a garden created as part of the home's story, 6 Belvedere Street is a very special piece of Kiama. After more than 100 years, this beautiful home is ready for its next chapter.
