A free-flowing showcase of elegance and finesse, this tastefully transformed late Victorian prize delivers contemporary luxury and everlasting period charisma.

Commandingly set back to ensure peace and privacy, a captivating façade reveals a clever interior, with superb updates augmenting the home’s inherent class and character. Showing signature intricacies, a grand entry displays a detailed arch and cornices, with towering ornate ceilings enriching a bright and airy lower level. Smartly configured, a considerable home office doubles as an ideal alternate master, while an expansive sitting room makes for cosy fireside evenings. Artistically recessed, a centrepiece floor-to-ceiling window frames a dedicated dining zone, merging seamlessly with an open family area and Stone Italiana kitchen featuring an integrated Liebherr refrigerator & freezer, 900mm stainless cooker, and integrated Miele dishwasher. Lined with mature trees, an entertainer’s backyard offers ample room to relax under all-day sunlight, while a sizeable upper balcony presents stunning views of the suburb’s leafy surrounds.

Making optimal use of its favourable aspect, plentiful windows and skylights adorn a sweeping second storey, with a sumptuous master joined by a fitted dressing room and private ensuite with dual shower and basins. Serving a pair of substantial robe-lined guest rooms, an in-vogue main bathroom boasts stylish appointments, with bifold windows perched above a standalone bath. A broad landing provides ample room for a kids’ study area, while further highlights include oak floors, hydronic heating, air conditioning, ceiling fans, rain showers, a downstairs powder room, full-size laundry, skylight with remote blind to primary guest room, alarm, remote front gate, NBN connectivity, and secure garage.

An exhibition of prestige and refinement amid one of Melbourne’s most picturesque streetscapes, it’s an easy walk to the flourishing strips of Beatty Avenue, High Street, and Hawksburn Village, with CBD-bound trams & trains, scattered parklands, and the area’s revered schools only moments away.
