Overview

Timeless Period Elegance, Captivating City Views

Perfectly positioned behind a high-walled garden and privately set well back from the street, this captivating solid-brick residence, circa 1918, showcases an elegant fusion of period charm and contemporary family living. Richly detailed with dark timber floors and high ornate ceilings, the impressive reception hall introduces a gracious sitting room with bay window and a grand formal dining room anchored by a marble fireplace. Bathed in western light, the superb gourmet kitchen features premium Miele appliances and flows seamlessly to a generous family living and dining domain, opening to the deep, private west-facing garden. The thoughtfully zoned ground floor includes a spacious main bedroom with designer ensuite, a second double bedroom and a stylish bathroom with Euro laundry. Upstairs, a dedicated children's retreat delivers two additional bedrooms, including one capturing spectacular city views, alongside a spacious rumpus and contemporary bathroom. Offering an exceptional family lifestyle in its current form, the substantial 762sqm approx. allotment also presents outstanding potential to maximise the city views with a new luxury family residence, subject to council approval (STCA). Ideally located close to Yarra River parkland, Kew Junction, trams and Melbourne's leading private schools, this distinguished home includes ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, a garage and additional off-street parking.
