Steeped in history, the charm of the late 1800’s character endures, with the quality and modern-day sophistication evident. The period elegance and contemporary design have combined to create a timeless residence that is spectacular in both dimension and function in a highly desirable location that offers multi-generational living at its finest.
The character of this classic Hawthorn-brick Victorian home is immediately evident with detailed timber verandah and leadlight featuring at the entrance to the home and inviting into the stunning entrance hall of ornate wood fretwork and stained glass. The original residence consists of four large reception rooms that are utilised as a study and three bedrooms. With ornate marble fireplaces, soaring 3.7-metre ceilings and the beauty of the original period features, including decorative cornices and ceiling roses, the residence has remained respectful of its original era and has masterfully transitioned into a home of epic proportions to enhance the livability and functionality of the home. A large family sized bathroom with bespoke cabinetry, frameless shower and oversized laundry complete the original home and transition seamlessly into the open plan living space.
The architecturally designed and expertly executed open plan family living and dining space is perfectly placed to take in the northern aspect, flood the room with natural light and enable an effortless connection between indoors and outdoors with full length stacking doors creating an elevated alfresco space. The gourmet kitchen features a waterfall granite island, integrated espresso machine, dishwasher, double oven, induction cooktop and custom cabinetry. The Master suite is located off the main living space and features a full-length walk-in robe and expansive ensuite featuring custom vanity, frameless shower and deep soaking tub.
Located on the this level with access via the outdoor balcony is a two bedroom fully self-contained studio apartment and a separate studio with kitchenette and powder room which could be utilised as a home business studio offering the privacy and capability for client visits without interrupting the family.
