A picturesque expression of enduring appeal where family and guests are invited to gather, roam and reconnect, this character-filled residence rests in a premier position on one of Hawthorne's finest riverside avenues. Framed by a picket fence and established gardens on a 607sqm parcel, the home enjoys peaceful privacy with multiple indoor and outdoor retreats for every generation.
Beyond the beautiful stained-glass front door, original timber floorboards gleam beneath interiors rich in period detail. The upper level unfolds with an effortless sense of warmth and connection, bringing the living area and modern chef's kitchen together before spilling outdoors to the front balcony and rear entertainer's deck. Encouraging seamless movement, you can gather around the stone island as meals are prepared using the ILVE oven and gas cooktop, then step outside for drinks in the afternoon breeze, dinner beneath the shade blinds, and relaxed evenings overlooking the gardens.
Family life and entertaining continue downstairs, where a media lounge opens to an alfresco oasis designed for every season. Summer days can be spent cooking on the built-in Jumbuck BBQ as children race between the cubbyhouse and grassed lawns, while winter evenings invite everyone to settle around the large outdoor fireplace. Enclosed by greenery, the paved patio and expansive yard create a private setting for sport, games, celebrations and garden parties.
Each floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom, providing exceptional separation for growing families, guests or teenagers. Upstairs, the master suite forms a charming haven for parents, with a private dressing room and a window seat crowned by stained glass, creating a peaceful place to read, pause, and retreat.
Ducted air-conditioning and ceiling fans feature throughout, while a laundry with direct outdoor access, excellent storage, a rainwater tank, and secure carport add practical ease.
