Overview

Golden Mile Landmark with Rustic Charm, Expansive Land and Poolside Entertaining

Set within Canterbury's prestigious Golden Mile, this landmark residence delivers a rare blend of rustic charm, family functionality and exceptional entertaining across an expansive 1,256sqm (approx.) allotment. Defined by soaring Jarrah-lined cathedral ceilings and a warm, chalet-inspired aesthetic, the home immediately captivates with its dramatic proportions and inviting character. Striking church doors and beautiful leadlight windows introduce a grand lounge and adjoining dining domain, centred around a statement open fireplace, creating a space of timeless appeal. At the heart of the home, a superbly appointed kitchen showcases Bosch and Miele appliances, waterfall stone benchtops and natural timber finishes, perfectly balancing style and practicality. Full-height sliding doors extend the living space outdoors to a partially covered alfresco terrace, overlooking a stunning landscaped garden and showpiece in-ground swimming poolideal for effortless entertaining. The accommodation is equally impressive, led by a generously scaled main bedroom featuring a luxurious ensuite, extensive built-in robes and its own private verandah retreat. Three additional bedrooms provide excellent flexibility, two with built-in robes and one with direct courtyard access, all serviced by a central bathroom and well-appointed laundry. A full-scale upgrade commenced in 2011, with a comprehensive one-year renovation encompassing roof tiles, bathrooms, kitchen, plumbing and electrical systems. The entrance foyer was extended and structurally reinforced, and drawing is available for a future rear extension (STCA). Additional highlights include a large double carport with secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles, as well as split system heating and cooling throughout. Positioned within the coveted Camberwell High School zone and moments from leading private schools including Camberwell Grammar, Camberwell Girls Grammar, Strathcona Girls' Grammar and Siena College, this outstanding address also offers easy access to Maling Road's vibrant cafés, Canterbury Gardens and Canterbury Station. A truly unique family sanctuary in one of Canterbury's most tightly held locations.
