Overview

Beautifully preserved late Victorian in premium Prospect Hill pocket

In an exclusive Prospect Hill cul-de-sac on the cusp of Camberwell Junction, this distinguished brick c.1901 residence effortlessly combines beautifully preserved Victorian character with immaculate modern functionality minutes from leading schools, three minute walk to Camberwell train station or to the bus, six minute walk to the tram plus a wealth of other amenities. Nestled in mature gardens on a 663 sqm approx. parcel, soaring ceilings, handsome open fireplaces and rich artisan craftsmanship define its generous traditional proportions while an impeccable timber kitchen, two modern bathrooms and a spacious separate studio/ retreat ensure easy single-level living. Secluded behind a high secure fence, an elevated verandah façade beautifully showcases the craftsmanship of the era in its bluestone foundations, delicate iron lacework and decorative tiling before ornate ceilings and two magnificent archways define a deep central hall. Elegant formal living and dining rooms retain their soaring ceilings and early open fireplaces, impressive classic refinements that are replicated in two generous front bedrooms served by a spotless bathroom with storage. A study with second entry offers easy work-from-home flexibility, accompanying a fully equipped kitchen and family living zones that open to a delightful rear verandah and private established garden full of northern sunshine. In its own peaceful wing at the rear, is the third bedroom which offers extensive built-in robes/storage with a nearby updated bathroom and laundry with storage. Totally unexpected in the garden, a separate artist's studio provides enviable versatility as a retreat, spacious teen living domain or garage with existing roller door via the deep driveway. Further highlights include ducted heating, alarm, garden shed, multi driveway and side-by-side off street parking. An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a dress circle foothold that offers immediate turnkey comfort as well as the enviable confidence that any future renovation (STCA) will be richly rewarded by this prized and prestigious position. Walk to every Junction retail or dining attraction, Rivoli Cinema, trams, trains buses and esteemed bilingual Camberwell Primary School with elite private schools, highly regarded Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College easily accessed.
