With impressive street appeal and a grand entrance to welcome family and guests, 61 Onslow Road, Khandallah makes a huge statement. Towering Roman columns on plinth bases speak to the grandeur of this magnificent high-end Khandallah abode. Be further wowed upon entering the front door – the gradual dual-level spiraling carpeted staircase, Italian-imported chandelier, and a plastered, concaved ceiling reminiscent of the Italian renaissance period.

Be in awe of the grand proportions this amazing space commands. Delicately balancing the room into two separate spaces are the Roman-style columns on plinths, a nod to the home’s strength and presence. Hosting central or an intimate quiet retreat, this is one room where the TV will lose out every time to the glowing night-time city lights and container ships cruising into port!

Behind the breakfast bar area, there’s the most impressive of living spaces – enjoy unwinding at night-time with a glass of your favourite, connecting with the family, welcoming friends over, or simply sitting back as you take in the city and skyline at night.
