‘The Crossways’ – Centennial Park’s finest estate

Occupying the largest landholding on prestigious Martin Road, this peerless 1814 sqm estate, ‘The Crossways’, is nestled in a leafy enclave opposite the recreational playground of Centennial Park.

Built in 1908, the majestic three-storey Arts & Crafts manor was transformed and substantially extended by acclaimed local architect Espie Dods, creating a home of immense grandeur and elegance. Combining classic romanticism with contemporary luxury, it’s set among beautiful Paul Bangay designed north-facing gardens with expanses of level lawn and a hedge-framed pool.

Its vast, versatile floorplan accommodates at least seven bedrooms and 6.5 marble bathrooms, including a two-bedroom lower level with a billiard room and an elegant self-contained 2/3 bedroom apartment with two levels of entertaining space. The master wing is the ultimate indulgence, complete with a living area, enormous dressing room and marble ensuite.

Entertaining space is stately and abundant, including grand formal lounge and dining rooms, a library, study and casual living encompassing a timber kitchen with a butler’s pantry. Graced with a host of modern luxuries, ‘The Crossways’ is a property of rare stature, privacy and history, offering an opportunity to secure one of the East’s most distinguished addresses.
