Charming Edwardian with Character and Scope to Update with Double Auto Garage

"Karagola" c1920 is a delightful Edwardian cottage brimming with period charm, offering a flexible floor plan and scope to update the interior in future if desired. Delivering a much sought-after low-maintenance lifestyle, it is likely to appeal to young professionals, small families or retirees seeking an entry into the popular Hawthorn East market, where convenience will be a way of life. Privately and securely positioned behind a high front fence and leafy garden, the unexpectedly spacious interior features an entrance hall flowing to three generous carpeted bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and a stylishly renovated bathroom. Through to a full-width living room and open-plan dining area, the light and bright kitchen is equipped with premium-quality AEG and Bosch appliances. The living spaces open to a brick-paved, covered outdoor dining and entertaining area. A separate external bedroom/studio/home office provides added flexibility, with a spa bathroom/laundry and internal access to the garage. Other features include an alarm, ducted heating, R/C air conditioners, wood heater in the living room, rainwater tank and advantageous rear lane access to a remote double garage with space for storage. Ideally situated moments from the Tooronga Road shops and a few minutes' walk to Fritsch Holzer Park, the home is also close to the vibrant Camberwell Junction, Glenferrie Road and Tooronga Village shopping precincts, cafes, restaurants and weekend markets, plus the Rivoli and Lido Cinemas. A choice of excellent schools includes Auburn South Primary, Auburn High School and Bialik College, along with several elite private schools and Swinburne University. Cato and Anderson Parks and the Gardiners Creek trails are also nearby for recreation. Easy access to public transport, including the Riversdale tram at your doorstep, and CityLink for access to the CBD further underpin its convenient lifestyle appeal.
