Step inside and be captivated by the contemporary and period finesse of this magnificent landmark Hawthorn brick family residence, c1880, believed to be the first home built in Bowen Street and surrounded by orchards in its heyday. Exemplifying the elegance and impressive proportions of the Victorian era, "Roseheath" showcases an iconic tuck-pointed brick façade (restored in 2021), tessellated-tiled, iron-lacework return verandah, slate roof, high ceilings and arches with ornate detailing, cornices and roses, all celebrating its rich period character. Arguably one of the finest homes in the surrounding area, it occupies a beautiful, lush garden setting spanning approximately 1,157sqm, complete with a tranquil fountain. Masterfully renovated and extended, the home preserves its Victorian heritage while delivering stunning contemporary living and entertaining spaces.
The interior features a wide entrance hall, two sitting rooms, a study/home office and five zoned bedrooms, including a lavish main bedroom with built-in robes and a stylish ensuite. Three further bedrooms are positioned to the rear alongside a family bathroom with spa bath, powder room, second study and laundry. A vast family living and dining room, enhanced by a box-bay window, incorporates a superbly appointed entertainer's kitchen with granite benchtops and prestige Bosch appliances. The living spaces open to an expansive, north-west-facing sandstone-paved outdoor dining and entertaining area overlooking a solar-heated saltwater pool and private rear garden.
Comprehensive appointments include immaculate presentation, ducted heating, marble OFPs, zoned air conditioning, plantation shutters, automatic and sun blinds, ample internal storage, a large garden shed and auto gates providing access to a tandem carport.
The home is enviably positioned midway between Toorak and Camberwell Roads, close to Burke Road and Camberwell Junction, with an array of shopping, cafes, restaurants and the Rivoli Cinema, as well as Tooronga Village, all nearby. CityLink provides easy access to the CBD and Mornington Peninsula, while a range of transport options, including a bus service at the doorstep, provide convenient connections to many of Melbourne's prestigious schools. Zoned for popular Camberwell and South Camberwell Primary Schools, the location further enhances the exceptional family lifestyle on offer.
