Harmoniously blending classic California Bungalow charm with a high-end designer-led fit-out, this architecturally renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom single-level Caulfield South home incorporates a luxe self-contained studio. It is elegantly surrounded by landscaped designer greenery in a family-focussed neighbourhood within the Gardenvale Primary School zone.
Retaining all the architectural hallmarks of its circa-1930s origins, including a tessellated tiled undercover verandah, stucco-clad columns, and leadlight double-hung windows, the single-level solid brick home presents a picture-perfect façade in this prized, leafy street. Inside, the Studio Bright renovation will dazzle with its exquisitely curated materials palette. This incorporates Japanese mosaic and vertical tiling in the bathrooms, Artedomus Maximum porcelain benchtops in the gourmet kitchen, a Louis Poulsen pendant to define the dining area, and custom joinery including bespoke cabinetry, banquette seating and display shelving. Retaining their elegant period features, the inside bedrooms showcase leadlight windows and traditional fireplaces. The main living/entertaining area, with wood fireplace, is edged with Bi-folding doors providing connectivity to the alfresco deck. Outside, the standalone self-contained studio has a built-in desk, a built-in robe and a luxe skylit ensuite. The gorgeous gardens, complete with meandering paths, bluestone pavers and bountiful fruit trees provide colour and fragrance all year round.
Additional highlights include a walk-in storage/utility room, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, surface-mounted downlights, solid timber floors, wool carpets, a garden shed, and off-street parking on a newly paved driveway.
Bordered by Landcox Park and Princes Park, this enviable lifestyle neighbourhood is in the Gardenvale Primary School Zone and within easy reach of excellent private schools including Brighton Grammar and Caulfield Grammar. It's a short stroll to the Hawthorn Road city-bound tram, and a 15-minute walk to Gardenvale Road and Martin St Village's cafés and Gardenvale station.
