Beautifully established gardens provide a tranquil buffer to the outside world for this lovely solid-brick 1920s residence spanning a substantial corner in the prestigious private school belt. A much-loved family environment complete with north/south tennis court and solar-heated swimming pool, the era beauty and craftsmanship of this home is outstanding with an octagonal domed-ceiling vestibule offering an inspiring prelude to an elegant floorplan. A romantic combination of warm timber floors, elaborate lead lighting and richly panelled walls are an extravagant sight throughout the splendid formal lounge, fine dining room and large family room. Relaxed modern updates have been added over the years, with a big family kitchen featuring a granite island and classic Belling double oven plus a casual meals area looking northwards to the tennis court, swimming pool and entertainer's gazebo. A main ensuite bedroom fitted home-office, and charming family bathroom (clawfoot bath) on ground level is accompanied by a gorgeous attic-style upper level with 3 king-sized bedrooms (2/BIRs, 1open to treetop deck) served by a neat bathroom. As a priceless supplement to today's comforts, there's a wealth of space and scope to add your own flair to the home or even explore options for an additional home at the rear, capitalizing on side access via Ermington Place, sizeable land of 1598sqm (approx.) and a prized Kew location close to Glenferrie and Cotham Rd trams, boutique shopping and Kew Junction (STCA). Also includes plentiful storage, ducted heating, air-conditioners, water tank, 2 garden sheds, double garage, plus ample OSP.
