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.
