Timeless Edwardian elegance & contemporary family functionality unite in this beautifully reimagined residence, superbly positioned between the vibrant villages of Elsternwick & Caulfield.
Introduced by a striking north-facing front garden by renowned landscape designer, Paul Pritchard (gold medallist & two-time placer in the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show), a classic verandaed façade introduces a grand interior that's been meticulously renovated head-to-toe. Honouring its heritage character with Edwardian hallmarks of stained-glass leadlight windows, soaring ceilings adorned with roses & original fireplaces, the home welcomes a sophisticated modern transformation tailored for contemporary living.
Lined with refurbished timber floorboards, a wide central hallway introduces three generous bedrooms (two with built-in robes & a luxe walk-in robe & ensuite in the master) & a central family bathroom. Matching the grand proportions of the original build, a modern extension flows seamlessly through, creating a warm & welcoming heart of the home. The open-plan layout is designed for effortless entertaining, with bifold-door access to a decked dining area with built-in BBQ & sunken paved seating area, all enveloped in lush greenery complementing Pritchard's front display, bordered by mature pear trees for privacy screening & soft, dappled sunlight.
The spacious island kitchen houses premium appliances of a 900mm Smeg oven with six-burner gas cooktop & Bosch dishwasher & connects to an adjacent laundry/pantry area with access to a side utility zone. A spacious private study with outdoor access, an open fireplace in the living, built-in speaker system both indoors & out, zoned heating & cooling & off-street parking for one behind a secure automatic gate complete this refined family sanctuary.
Enjoying exceptional connectivity to an array of shopping, dining & transport precincts, this location is further enhanced by proximity to stunning parkland including Ripponlea Estate & esteemed local schools: Caulfield Grammar, Caulfield Primary, Shelford & Wesley's Elsternwick campus.
