Make history in the tightly held Gardenvale Primary School Zone with the unparalleled Art Deco grandeur of 'Myrtleford'. A benchmark home of its day, built to the grandest scale of the era, this attic-style five-bedroom, three-bathroom home retains all its original breathtaking detail within an expansively original design perfect for today. Set on approx. 779sqm and just around the corner from Gardenvale Primary School, this is a rare opportunity to secure substantial family living in one of the area's most sought-after school zones.
Characterised by an impressive entry with grand double doors opening beyond a curvaceous terrazzo portico, this notable home is immensely liveable today with a fine formal lounge filled with north sun and an immense family room sharing access to a wide rear veranda with adjacent open-plan kitchen-dining. Vastly accommodating with a ground-floor master-suite, there's a choice of king-sized bedroom plus a whole-floor balconied bedroom-retreat with panoramic views.
Newly carpeted and freshly painted with bathrooms on each level including a marble ensuite and mint-condition original family bathroom, the home is centrally heated, reverse-cycle air-conditioned and richly detailed with every divine Deco feature intact. From lavish leadlight and etched glass, to never-painted timberwork, the home is a showcase of the era's finest finishes. Elaborate decorative ceilings top every room, spectacular fireplaces feature in both living zones plus the master-suite, and unique vintage light-fittings sparkle above it all.
Behind high brick walls in approx. 779sqm grounds, there's a long drive and secure garage for easy parking and fully enclosed gardens front and rear for a beautiful old-fashioned childhood. Beyond the coveted Gardenvale Primary School Zone, Brighton's private schools are within minutes and Star of the Sea College within a walk. A stroll to Martin St for cafes and bars, and Gardenvale Station for a 19-minute CBD commute, there's Bay St and Church St shopping within minutes and the Golden Mile beachfront within a jog.
