Utterly captivating with a sun-drenched northern aspect and flourishing period beauty, this single-level, solid brick Edwardian residence is a breathtaking celebration of the era’s character, complementary modern style and indoor-outdoor living. Within a short walk to Carlisle Street’s thriving hub of wine bars, eclectic eateries and the train line, and moments from Orrong Village cafés, leading schools and Dandenong Road trams, it offers a remarkable setting where architectural poise and contemporary living align within a coveted lifestyle pocket.
With a deep setback and secure portico entrance, the brilliant light and scale of the interior spaces combine original Baltic pine floors, leadlight detail and high ceilings with the glow of northern light that draws through the wide hallway. Timber fretwork lies above, introducing three spacious bedrooms; the largest with an open fire, and the following two with built-in robes and secondary glazing to the sash windows for added peace and thermal quality. Soaring ceilings continue to the central living room, accentuated by an open fire and eastern light, connecting easily to the well-appointed kitchen and meals domain with a new Bosch dishwasher, Miele cooking appliances and Carrara marble benchtops.
A sunroom leads to the modern bathroom at the rear, continuing the flow to the laundry, separate WC and out to the alfresco deck and lower gardens, where towering Manchurian Pears provide a natural sense of privacy and seclusion. Features include ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, broad side access, ample storage and prized future scope to extend (STCA), all in a location where leading schools, such as St Mary’s, Alma Park, and city-bound transport, including the 5 and 64 tram lines are all within walking distance.
