Held by the same family for 50 years and positioned within the highly regarded Summerhill Estate, this refined 1930s double fronted period residence occupies 735sqm (approx.) of established gardens, balancing beautifully preserved period detail with the opportunity to further modernise over time. Rich in character and craftsmanship, it is a home that has been carefully maintained and enjoyed across generations, with the substance and proportions that continue to make homes of this era so enduringly sought after.
Beyond its attractive façade, a traditional entrance hall introduces interiors distinguished by decorative ceiling roses, leadlight windows, hardwood timber flooring, original fireplaces and beautifully crafted timber doors. These details sit comfortably alongside a practical family floorplan that remains highly functional today while offering scope for thoughtful future enhancement.
The living room provides an elegant setting for entertaining or everyday relaxation, while an adjoining dining room offers valuable flexibility as either a traditional dining space or a fourth bedroom, depending on family requirements.
Updated only a few years ago, the kitchen and meals area forms the everyday heart of the home. Generous in scale and well considered in design, it provides excellent storage, extensive preparation space and ample room for family dining.
The three remaining bedrooms are well proportioned, the main bedroom with built-in robes, and supported by two bathrooms, one with laundry facilities and one with a bath, while the home's generous dimensions and traditional layout provide a strong foundation for future updates. Whether enhancing the existing spaces, introducing contemporary finishes or exploring a sympathetic extension over time, the home offers exciting possibilities while respecting its period origins and heritage setting.
Outside, established gardens provide space for families to enjoy immediately, while a double garage and additional storage add another practical layer to the property's appeal.
Positioned within the highly regarded Summerhill Estate, this tightly held Glen Iris address has earned its reputation through generations of family ownership and established tree lined surroundings. Burwood Train Station, Toorak Road Tram, Summerhill Park, Ashburton Village, the Anniversary Trail and local sporting facilities are all close by, while a selection of highly regarded schools reinforces the enduring appeal of a neighbourhood many families rarely leave.
