Rising above a quiet streetscape revealing a substantial family setting, this impressive two-level residence merges decorative 1920s character and extensive modern expansion in secluded, landscaped garden surroundings backed by a huge 56m2 garage.
Leafy garden frontage introduces an elevated façade of period detail and presence that reflects the original elegance of the home's timeless front layout featuring a flexible study or bedroom, a sizeable robed bedroom and a large lounge and dining room distinguished by an Art Nouveau fireplace with a timber overmantel, attractive ceiling panels and sash windows with plantation shutters.
This timeless style pivots seamlessly into a contemporary design of oversized dimensions where dedicated upper-level accommodation features two expansive bedrooms including built-in robes , plus a vast main bedroom suite integrating a window seat, a ceiling fan, deep walk-in robe and a fully-appointed ensuite with a separate bathtub and shower.
A ground-floor family domain on polished hardwood floorboards unfolds around a superb gourmet kitchen that showcases stone benchtops, a timber-topped island, stainless-steel appliances and pantry storage, and flows to exceptional living and dining areas framed by wide bifold doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
An entertainment deck that stretches the length of the extension steps down onto a generous lawn bordered by an established garden where children and pets can securely and safely play, while at the rear stands an enormous double garage with storage and workshop capacity along with dual remote-control roller doors for rear laneway access.
Other attributes include a separate laundry, ducted heating and cooling, alarm system, under-stair storage, a rainwater tank and a front driveway for easy off-street parking.
With its outstanding proportions, adaptable layout and low-maintenance garden, this first-class home is designed to grow with a family's ever-changing needs delivering everyday convenience and long-term appeal close to Burgundy Street's cafes, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, train station, buses, schools, LaTrobe University, parkland and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
