In the same family for over half a century, this landmark Arts and Crafts Bungalow residence sits on a magnificent 1484sqm approx. with a second frontage to Stanhope Street. 'Whitchurch' is one of Mont Albert's most significant homes, protected by a heritage overlay and considered aesthetically significant, this grand old dame retains its majestic authenticity but still offers immense opportunity for a sympathetic renovation and remodel (STCA).
A distinctive home with three self contained zones making one comprehensive family residence, the captivating entrance foyer and character rich sitting and dining rooms are massively oversized, while featuring a vintage kitchen/meals area, downstairs main bedroom with robes and sleek ensuite, study/dressing room and an updated elegant powder room.
The second downstairs zone is versatile for a guest or teenage retreat with a living area, kitchenette, robed bedroom and bathroom all in classic condition. Upstairs is modern, giving you an opportunity to live in it while you renovate, featuring a brilliant living and dining area, a contemporary kitchen with premium V-Zug appliances, three fabulous bedrooms with wardrobes, a spa bathroom and a private stairwell entrance.
The beautiful gardens, highlighted by its towering oak and magnolia trees, set the scene for most rooms and offer multiple idyllic pockets to entertain or relax. A double garage and exposed aggregate driveway provide plenty of secure parking via gates from Stanhope Street.
On the edge of Mont Albert's highly regarded Hamilton Street cafes and shops, walk to Union station and Whitehorse Road trams, while moments to a fine selection of schools.
