A gracious columned porch and a wide gravel drive give a gentle hint of what lies beyond, but this character-rich home on approximately 803 square metres has much more to offer. Four bedrooms occupy the main house, a bungalow waits at the rear, and the landscaping is so beautifully established that greenery fills almost every window.
The formal rooms hold all the charm of their era, with decorative plasterwork and soft carpet in the lounge and dining room. An elegant arch leads through to the meals area, with timber floors and a wall of glass looking straight into the garden. The kitchen sits right alongside, fitted with double wall ovens, a gas cooktop and a dishwasher, and the window above the sink frames a leafy view while you rinse the dishes.
The main bedroom incorporates a sunny retreat, filled with dappled light and made for a slow weekend morning with a book. Two more bedrooms sit just down the hall, while the fourth has direct entry from the front, ready to become a home office or a private space for visitors. Two bathrooms serve these rooms, plus there is a separate laundry.
Out the back, a brick-paved path winds past shaded outdoor dining, flowering pots and a lush lawn towards the bungalow. With a fifth bedroom, a lounge and a bathroom, it gives teenagers, extended family or guests a place of their own. Throughout the main residence and bungalow, a combination of high, raked and cathedral ceilings adds a lovely sense of vertical volume, while generous off-street parking takes care of the cars. Additional highlights include ducted heating and a split system in the main house and two split systems in the bungalow.
Trams stop out the front, Burwood Station is close by, and Hartwell Shopping Centre, Burwood Village and Hartwell Sports Ground are all nearby for groceries, cafés and weekend sport. The home is zoned for Hartwell Primary School and Ashwood High School, with the Monash Freeway in easy reach for city commutes.
