Overview

A stately jewel with a prosperous future

Expressions Of Interest Originally constructed in 1923, taking full advantage of a privileged lifestyle just metres from historic Maling Road, the sheer botanic beauty of Canterbury Gardens, and the convenience of Canterbury train station, this Californian Bungalow has undergone a partial renovation. Basking in the perfection of a high-side position on an iconic tree-lined boulevard, you can imagine that in time, the regal verandah will be saturated in views across a manicured garden landscape. From here, two magnificent iron doors open to reveal highly polished European oak parquet floors and rooms that showcase ornate detailing and colourful leadlight. A leadlight ceiling dome and marble mantelpiece adorn the central lounge, while the three bedrooms and two floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms include a master with walk-in robe and marble dual-vanity ensuite with a smart toilet. The new owner will get to complete this home to their own luxurious standards, extending outwards and upwards, maximising the potential of this enormous 1174 sqm approx. block (STCA). Take pleasure in the leafy walk to Balwyn Primary School and Fintona Girls' School, while also being close to Camberwell Grammar, Strathcona, Siena College and locally zoned Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls' Secondary College. Near Balwyn Village and the 109-tram to Kew's prestigious private school precinct.
