Maximising the depth of this dual street frontage block, a clever extension both upwards and outwards has created a spectacular family home out of this engaging Edwardian. Retaining beautifully high ceilings throughout that generate a wonderful sense of vertical dimension, the flowing floor plan provides an enormous open-plan living and dining room incorporating a stone kitchen equipped with high-end European appliances and effortlessly expanding via bi-fold doors to a timber deck and landscaped flourishing garden including automated irrigation system. Upstairs a whole-floor parent's retreat makes for a perfect escape with a large bedroom, bathroom, walk-in robe, separate spacious home office and split-system heating/air conditioning. Three more bedrooms on the lower level share a delightful period-style bathroom with claw-foot bath. Further features on offer include ducted heating, alarm system, hardwood floorboards, extensive storage throughout, leadlight, fireplaces, a bay window in the front bedroom, timber fretwork above the entry and a car space accessed via the rear. Trams, Ripponlea train station, St Kilda Botanical Gardens, Ripponlea Village, Acland Street, the beach and quality schools are all within exceptionally easy access.
