Set amongst beautifully established grounds on an extraordinary 3,231m² allotment, this landmark Alfredton residence presents a rare combination of heritage, scale and contemporary amenity. Originally constructed in 1904, the property has evolved thoughtfully over more than a century, retaining its remarkable period character while incorporating substantial additions designed for modern family living.
Privately positioned behind a solid brick boundary fence, electric gates and the original cypress hedge planted in 1904, the residence enjoys an exceptional sense of space and privacy. Expansive lawns, mature trees and established gardens create a beautiful setting for a home of such scale and presence.
The original Edwardian residence retains an extraordinary collection of period details, including original leadlight windows, Baltic pine timber floors, pressed metal ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, four working fireplaces and original Scottish carpets dating back to 1904. Formal lounge, dining and sunroom spaces showcase the home's enduring character, while the substantial double-storey extension introduces a sophisticated contemporary dimension.
Four bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living and entertaining spaces provide an exceptional environment for family life. At the centre of the contemporary addition, an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family domain is anchored by a bespoke kitchen featuring striking black cabinetry, grey marble benchtops and an extensive suite of premium Gaggenau and Miele appliances.
A remarkable 10.5 x 4.5m indoor heated swimming pool creates an exceptional private retreat, surrounded by extensive glazing and established garden outlooks. Complementing this is a substantial rumpus and games room with wood heater, spa bathroom, billiard table and separate accommodation, offering considerable flexibility for entertaining, recreation or extended family living.
Beyond the home, the grounds provide an exceptional lifestyle setting with extensive lawns, mature plantings, a brick-built wood barbecue, fountain, double-storey cubby house and enclosed dog run. Practicality is equally well considered, with electric gates, monitored integrated security, a 65-metre deep bore, 5kW solar system and two-bay carport.
A residence of genuine individuality, 1821 Sturt Street is defined by its significant landholding, authentic Edwardian character and remarkable breadth of accommodation and amenity. Carefully evolved across generations, this is a property with a rare sense of permanence, offering an exceptional opportunity to secure one of Alfredton's most distinctive residences.
