Welcome to 3 Claire Street, Lower Mitcham - a grand sandstone-fronted character Bungalow of rare scale and charm, nestled on an expansive 984m² parcel with a prized northerly rear aspect. Combining timeless architectural elegance with generous family living, this remarkable residence offers five spacious bedrooms plus a separate studio, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, and an impressive open-plan kitchen and living area that flows effortlessly to a sublime alfresco setting.
Set behind a classic heritage-style woven wire fence and framed by manicured hedges, blooming roses and lavender, the home commands immediate street appeal. The wide front veranda, overlooking a picturesque Jacaranda-lined street, is the perfect spot to greet the day or unwind at dusk with a good book.
Step inside and you're welcomed by a broad hallway with decorative ceilings and archways, where original Art Deco features evoke the grace of a bygone era. Year-round comfort is assured with ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating, while the thoughtful layout offers both refined formal spaces and expansive contemporary zones for relaxed family living.
The formal lounge is a showstopper with its striking dome ceiling, ornate fireplace and original leadlight windows, seamlessly connecting to an elegant dining room via French doors-ideal for dinner parties and festive gatherings. At the front of the home, the master suite impresses with its generous proportions, downlights, ensuite bathroom and original windows that flood the room with natural light.
Each of the additional bedrooms is well-proportioned, three of which are equipped with built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, offering flexibility for family, guests or even work-from-home arrangements.
At the rear of the home, the heart of the residence reveals itself in the vast open-plan kitchen and family room. Soaring ceilings, cedar-framed windows and a charming bench seat invite light and warmth into the space, all while offering uninterrupted views over the lush backyard and alfresco area. The solid timber kitchen is a true chef's domain, featuring luxurious stone benchtops, a Miele dishwasher, five-burner gas cooktop and an expansive walk-in pantry-easily adaptable into a substantial butler's pantry for those who entertain in style.
From the family room, step through to multiple outdoor entertaining options. The main alfresco area, set beneath a soaring gabled roof and enhanced with café blinds and feature lighting, is a year-round haven for celebrations, relaxed BBQs or twilight drinks with friends, all set against the backdrop of established gardens.
Adding exceptional flexibility is the fully lined separate studio-a versatile space perfect for a teenage retreat, home office, yoga room or games lounge, complete with ceiling fan and wall-mounted TV bracket.
Vehicle accommodation is superb with an oversized double carport featuring drive-through access to further rear garaging for up to six cars, plus additional off-street parking.
