Some homes are cherished, and this is one of them. This freestanding solid brick Art Deco residence has been lovingly held by the same family for two decades and thoughtfully renovated and updated throughout. The result is a rare balance of period detail and contemporary amenity, positioned perfectly to Ripponlea Village.
A traditional entrance leads into gracious formal living and separate dining rooms, where polished hardwood floors, decorative ceilings, leadlight windows and open fireplaces sit beautifully alongside the home's considered updates. Timber panelling adds further period richness throughout.
Three excellent bedrooms include a master with ensuite, while a designated study or children's playroom offers flexibility for growing families, complemented by a main bathroom and separate powder room positioned conveniently beside the study. The superbly equipped kitchen and family meals area flow effortlessly onto a private north/west-facing garden, a sun-drenched setting for entertaining or quiet weekends alike.
Set on approximately 492m² with a broad 16-metre frontage, the established garden delivers a rare sense of space and privacy so close to the city. Ample off-street parking, including a side drive to a lock-up garage adds further everyday appeal.
Hydronic heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort, while solar panels, battery storage, a hot water heat pump and two water tanks contribute to a more economical, energy-efficient and water-efficient home and garden. Complemented by superb neutral decor throughout, this is a home ready to move into and simply enjoy.
All of this within footsteps of Ripponlea's beloved village cafés, the railway station, elite schools, and city-bound trams and buses - a position that continues to make this pocket so highly sought after.
Twenty years of love, beautifully renovated, and ready for its next chapter. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
