Immaculately preserved period elegance & scope for the future are key elements of this beautifully maintained residence kept within the same family for over 60 years. Immediately obvious charm & grace captures the attention from an external perspective, matched by the classic interior with exquisite timber features & decorative ceilings throughout. Updated with a sympathetic extension, the casual family domain begins with a naturally lit living & meals area enhanced by the stylish kitchen with extensive bench space, cabinetry & walls of storage capped off with Fisher & Paykel & Westinghouse appliances. An easeful flow through sliding doors reveals deep north facing freeform gardens with a large established grass area framed by rose bushes, flowering plants & a huge fruiting lemon tree for a natural environment rarely seen these days. Furthering the sophistication, a more formal dining & connecting living room offers an ambient space for relaxation. The main bedroom is warmed by period elements & a wall of built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, followed by a classic bathroom with a shower over bath. Two additional bedrooms & a second bathroom with generous laundry completes the picture. Central heating, two split systems, two-car undercover carport & a shed area are all set on an allotment of 579m2* primed to extend, creating your own luxurious residence (STCA). This outstanding location is enhanced by the coveted Gardenvale Primary School at the end of the street, a picturesque walk to Landcox Park, Brighton Secondary College & only minutes to two local shopping strips & tram on Hawthorn Road as just the beginning. *Approximate Title Dimensions.
