Celebrating its blue chip position, 10 doors to the Bay, in one of Sandringham's most coveted streets, this generously proportioned four-bedroom, three-bathroom family home is rich in classic Edwardian-era charm and will inspire with its more recent architectural enhancements showcasing north-facing indoor/outdoor living and entertaining and an adaptive floorplan that caters to families of all ages and stages.
Set behind automated driveway gates, a double carport provides secure car accommodation in this exclusive one-way street, neighboured by some of the area's most illustrious homes. Lush, low maintenance gardens line the central pathway that leads to the double-storey brick home's decked entry verandah and leadlight edged front door. Inside, polished Baltic pine floorboards, soaring ceilings and a grand timber fretwork archway endorse the home's period splendour while hydronic heating, plantation shutters, ceiling fans and a gas-log fire heater in the front living room enhance contemporary liveability. Drenched in northerly sun, the main open plan area incorporates a stone-topped kitchen that is well-equipped with a Bosch gas cooktop, a Bosch integrated dishwasher, and a Westinghouse oven and warming drawer. There is a large pantry, and the adjacent laundry offers butler's pantry functionality with additional storage and preparation space. Glass sliding doors open out to the wraparound fully paved alfresco terrace, edged with landscaped gardens, and featuring an undercover deck and private outdoor shower.
The main bedroom is zoned at the front of the home and is enhanced with a walk-in robe and shower ensuite with double vanity. The charming original dining room, complete with traditional fireplace, offers functionality as home office/study, a third living room or fifth bedroom. There is another bedroom downstairs, and with built-in robes, and an adjoining bathroom, ideal for guest usage, while upstairs are a further two generously sized robed bedrooms with plantation shuttered windows offering lovely neighbourhood outlooks. The third bathroom has a built-in tub and separate shower, and additional features include a security alarm, hydronic and ducted heating, plenty of indoor and outdoor storage, including walk-in under-stair storage and a garden shed.
In the heart of 'classic Sandringham', enjoy the very best of Bayside's privileged lifestyle in this low-traffic street within a few minutes' walk to the beach, the Bay Trail, Royal Avenue Reserve, Harold Street Playground, Royal Avenue Tennis Centre, and Firbank Grammar School (junior co-ed campus).
