Elevated from a leafy street that’s among the area’s most cherished, this classic Californian-turned first-class lifestyle retreat offers rich period charm, countless modern comforts, and outstanding flexibility to be perfect for today’s family. A timeless façade and accompanying gardens precede an interior kept single-level to stay as practical as attractive. Three substantial bedrooms are joined by excellent storage, a chic master ensuite, main bathroom with an integrated laundry, and French doors from the guest room to an entertainer’s front veranda, while living and dining zones both neighbour a first-rate kitchen with upscale Fisher & Paykel appliances. A large backyard’s alfresco area is brilliant for a barbecue under the vivid purples of a Jacaranda tree, while other highlights include re-sanded and re-stained Baltic pine floors, ornate ceilings and cornices, bay and leadlight windows, ducted heating/cooling with individual room controls, keypad entry, plantation shutters, and a sizeable shed. Trains, trams, and CityLink streamline commutes, while famous Sydney Road, lively Melville Road, parks and playgrounds, childcare centres, and respected schools sit just steps away.
