All the appeal of a Glen Iris family lifestyle comes together in this generously extended 1920s brick home. Positioned amongst landscaped gardens in a prized family address, its meticulously cared-for proportions provide an elegant setting for everyday living and easy entertaining with multiple formal and family areas, sunny alfresco zones, a private parents domain and an address that puts Glen Iris Primary, the area's renowned parkland, buses and High Street shopping all within a short walk.
Beyond its handsome verandah façade, a wonderfully wide central hallway links a series of original rooms with high ceilings and leadlight windows to equally generous extended areas that flow to refined indoor/outdoor entertaining and a fully landscaped rear garden designed to provide sunny areas for play, private retreat and fun afternoons with family and friends. A formal living room with open fireplace is complemented by adjoining formal dining, both beneath decorative ceilings, while across the hall, two bedrooms with built-in robes, one with leadlight window, are served by a central modern bathroom. At the hall's conclusion, a Miele kitchen with induction cooktop overlooks beautifully bright northeast-facing family areas, the entertaining terrace and the flowering rear garden. In its own zone, the main bedroom enjoys views over the garden with a separate dressing room/fourth bedroom featuring extensive built-in storage, and bathroom. Move straight in and adopt the family lifestyle for which the area is famous, then if ever desired, update or further renovate, or, with no heritage overlay, build a brand new family home (STCA). Further highlights include laundry with storage, sealed attic with significant sized room/storage (drop-down ladder), ducted heating/cooling at the rear, alarm, intercom street entry, remote garage, carport and off-street parking via remote gates.
Relish the area's strong family focus where the kids can walk to Glen Iris Primary or catch a High Street bus to Korowa, Sacre Coeur or Glen Iris trains for a quick commute to other leading private schools. On weekends, walk to Ferndale Park, ride or walk along Ferndale trails or watch the kids play sport on local playing fields. Catch up with friends at nearby cafes and restaurants, shop along High Street, or explore acres of Gardiners Creek parkland and bike paths with easy access to the CBD or airport via the nearby Monash Freeway/ Citylink.
