Overview

Spacious single-level sanctuary directly on the park

The privilege and the pleasure of backing directly onto parkland and savouring an uninterrupted outlook, serene ambience and immediate access to open-air greenery perfectly enhance the remarkable opportunity presented by this wide freestanding Victorian. Extra-large proportions, natural light and peaceful park views characterise the redefined setting of this spacious single-level sanctuary that's quietly nestled in a heritage streetscape close to Hawthorn and Kew's blue-ribbon attractions. A classic period profile with a sunlit garden courtyard introduces an impeccably-presented interior where high decorative ceilings and polished hardwood floorboards line an inviting arched hallway leading to two expansive bedrooms including built-in robes. Central is a bathroom before a large and versatile home office or dining room (potential third bedroom) with French doors opening to a private side deck. There's also a European laundry, ducted heating and an alarm system. A glorious vista over Smart Street Reserve forms a scenic backdrop to an open-plan living and dining room, where an immaculate gourmet kitchen (Smeg/Bosch appliances, stone benchtops, copious storage) along with split-system air-conditioning and a gas log fireplace, provide enormous modern-day comfort and flawless functionality. Further are sliding doors to an undercover deck and a leafy terrace garden fringed in olive and citrus for relaxed park-side alfresco entertaining. A rare opening where only a select number enjoy the distinct advantage of being on the park, this impressive residence with scope to luxuriously enhance and expand the space (STCA) offers exceptionally quick and easy access to Glenferrie Road and Kew Junction café and shopping precincts, Bridge Road restaurants, Church Street trams, Hawthorn train station, Yarra River walking trails and leading schools including Xavier, MLC, Trinity, Ruyton, Carey, Hawthorn West Primary and preschool.
