Steeped in period charm and reimagined for contemporary family living, this captivating weatherboard presents one of Alphington's most charming street frontages. Thoughtfully extended and impeccably renovated, this four-bedroom residence weaves original character with contemporary comfort across a generous, single-level layout bathed in natural light.
Rich timber floors run the length of the hallway, past period cornices and soaring ceilings, connecting a series of well-proportioned, carpeted bedrooms - each with built-in robes - through to the spectacular rear addition. A separate sitting room with an open fireplace offers a quiet retreat in the original wing, while the rear extension reveals dramatically pitched ceilings soaring above a kitchen skylight, creating a bright and airy heart to the home.
The kitchen impresses with a generous island, five-burner Miele cooktop, double Miele ovens, integrated Miele dishwasher, pot filler above the stove and Fisher & Paykel wine storage, while a study nook tucked beside the kitchen is ideal for homework at the end of the day. The adjoining open-plan living and dining zone is anchored by a contemporary built-in fireplace and flows seamlessly through sliding doors to a covered timber entertaining deck. Beneath a full-length translucent roof, the deck opens to a family-friendly rear yard with maintenance free astroturf.
Side access connects to the home via a practical walk-in mudroom and laundry, which flows directly through to the butler's pantry - outfitted with an additional sink, generous cabinetry and considerable storage, complete with an automatic light on entry. The main bedroom suite is a private retreat with custom bedside lighting, a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a dual vanity and oversized walk-in shower. The central bathroom is a standout in its own right, with a freestanding bath elevated on herringbone tiling and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower. A study with built-in desk and custom joinery as well as abundant integrated storage throughout complete a home that delivers on every practical front.
Outside, a gated entry leads to an undercover carport, with timber front and rear decks complimenting the period roots of this home.
All of this sits at the end of Yarralea Street, moments from Alphington Station on the Hurstbridge line. Alphington Primary School is the zoned school and is located on the same street. The cafes, shops and restaurants along Heidelberg Road are all within easy reach, while Alphington Park, the Yarra River trails and zoned Thornbury High School further underscore the versatility this address delivers.
