Concealed by its charming double-fronted façade, this Victorian's cutting-edge, architect-designed renovation has created an unforgettable north-facing oasis ideal for any and every stage of family life. Nestled on one of the Glenferrie precinct's most picturesque period-lined streets, heritage originality has been preserved in a ground floor main bedroom suite and nearby living room whilst at the rear, an exhilarating extension delivers sophisticated family living and entertaining in lush garden surrounds just footsteps from Glenferrie Road and Kew's private schools.
Behind its original verandah and leadlight entry, a traditional central hall links together two spacious original rooms that retain their soaring rosette ceilings and sublime classical elegance. On the left, there is a versatile front living room or study plus an adjoining library/ storage room lined with floor to ceiling shelving. To the right, the irresistible main bedroom forms its own private retreat with a walk-in robe/ dressing domain and luxurious fully tiled ensuite featuring a freestanding soaker bath, double vanity, heated towel rail and Japanese smart toilet.
Beyond, breathtaking open plan living and dining areas expand out against an immersive backdrop of verdant garden views. Basking in northern sunshine, zoned living areas are warmed by a gas firebox and a showpiece stone kitchen featuring Miele appliances including twin wall ovens, integrated fridge/freezer, extensive storage and butler's pantry ensures culinary excellence whatever the occasion. Sweeping stacker doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a seamless transition to the landscaped garden oasis where broad sunlit decking provides the perfect setting for benchmark celebrations or quiet family evenings.
A soaring skylit void ensures upstairs accommodation enjoys abundant natural light with three bedrooms featuring built-in robes forming an ideal kids' domain with a chic family bathroom and powder room. Throughout, every detail reflects quality and ease including a hidden open study overlooking an internal water feature courtyard, ground floor powder room, full laundry with storage, ducted heating/cooling, smart toilets, timber floors, video intercom, alarm and the precinct rarity, off street parking for two cars.
Enjoy a lifestyle of luxurious low maintenance ease in this wonderfully convenient position just a short walk from Glenferrie Road retail and dining, Lido Cinema, trams, trains, playground reserves, Hawthorn's famous Rocket Park, Swinburne University, highly regarded Auburn Primary and leading private schools.
