A RESERVE-FACING HOME OF GLAMOUR, GRANDEUR & COMPLETE DESIGN DISTINCTION SET ON 1,465 SQM APPROXIMATELY.
BEST OFFERS BY TUESDAY 10 MARCH AT 10AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR).
Elevated to savour the open expanse and rolling greens of Kensington Gardens Reserve, 38 East Terrace stands as a statement of refined luxury and unforgettable family living in one of the east’s most tightly held pockets.
Landscaped gardens both beautifully frame and climb the character façade, creating a romantic arrival that hints at the grandeur within - where wide hallways and soaring 13-ft ceilings introduce a home of rare scale and substance.
Interconnecting living zones unfurl with grace, balancing formal and relaxed spaces in equal measure. A formal dining room inspired by Ralph Lauren sets the scene for epic dinner parties, while nearby, a divine light-filled sunroom takes great pleasure in the slower moments: afternoons spent reading by the fire or watching children bound across the reserve beyond.
Inspired by a memorable visit to a New York steakhouse, the kitchen is a culinary showpiece, built by Jag Kitchens. A breathtaking sprawl of Carrara marble and bespoke brass is matched by top-of-the-range European appliances, UK-imported fittings, and a custom-made timber ladder that reaches every last nook of the butler’s pantry - finer details as exquisite as they are purposeful.
Further along, a contemporary take on open-plan living embraces resort-style gardens through walls of bifold doors, achieving fluid indoor-outdoor flow while remaining beautifully intimate between ambient chandeliers and the flicker of a working fireplace.
Thoughtfully positioned to create their own sophisticated retreats through Sophie Katina cabinetry, Sanderson wallpaper and Colefax & Fowler fabrics, the home office, main bathroom and laundry/mud room respectively deliver chic individuality - spaces that feel curated, not merely functional.
But it’s the master suite that forges a design destination in itself - modelled after the romantic indulgence of Prestonfield House, its emboldened by rich, deep reds and the tactile texture of Manuel Canovas curtains, and grounded by its own dressing room, marble-topped couple’s ensuite and verdant reserve views – dishing out everyday luxury for the heads of the house.
Up above, children or guests enjoy their own private two-bedroom wing, but below, a underground wine cellar reminiscent of a rustic Italian cellar becomes the natural finale to dinner parties - or an intimate escape for date night at home.
Across the expansive grounds, a vine-covered alfresco pavilion with built-in BBQ surveys the sparkling in-ground pool, adjacent cabana and self-contained granny flat - creating a setting destined for milestone celebrations, summer gatherings and cherished family traditions.
With up to five bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home achieves a rare balance - promoting both peaceful separation and genuine connection. Every space encourages you to congregate, host and unwind within its many magical entertaining zones.
A truly one-of-a-kind residence, devoted to opulent design down to the finest detail, and delivering an extraordinary inner-eastern lifestyle defined by space, elegance and the ever-present beauty of the reserve at your doorstep.
