Elevated and set back behind decorative iron gates, this magnificent brick Victorian's impressive combination of period grandeur, stunning contemporary spaces and lock up and leave parcel provides the ultimate in effortless lifestyle living just minutes from the Yarra River and leading schools. Perfectly private beyond its impressive return verandah, a meticulous renovation has created beautifully proportioned, light filled interiors that offer the space, finish and flexibility of a large luxury home but in a versatile single level format with lavish indoor/outdoor entertaining areas and a sumptuous pool with pool house.
A graceful arched hallway lined with polished timber floors links together three original rooms that retain their soaring ceilings and original grace in three stylish bedrooms that include two served by a full family bathroom, the main with open fireplace, walk-in robe and designer ensuite. Filled with northern light at the rear, spectacular open plan areas include a zoned living domain with fireplace, conservatory style dining and a custom entertainer's kitchen complete with premium Bertazzoni Professional Series 900mm cooker. Splendid leadlight windows and detailed ceilings add beautiful artisan quality to these sunlit spaces whilst multiple sets of arched French doors offer an easy, indoor-outdoor flow to all-season entertaining zones and feature paved alfresco areas that include decked dining with night lit BBQ kitchen, elegant water feature, glass fenced pool and a pool house featuring a bathroom and storeroom. A large retreat positioned above the double garage adds further flexibility as a rumpus, gym, home office with separate entry or even a fourth bedroom.
Together with its refined period detailing and exquisite artisan finishes, additional highlights include laundry with WC, ducted heating, split system air conditioning, video intercom entry, comprehensive CCTV security, water tank, remote gates to the auto double garage with workshop and additional off street parking.
A stunning family home merging Victorian grandeur with contemporary sophistication on a lifestyle friendly parcel in a convenient location just footsteps from Alphington Grammar and Primary with only minutes to Darebin Parklands, trains, other leading private schools, and both Ivanhoe and Fairfield villages.
