A beautifully executed renovation and extension has transformed this classical, 1930s residence into a stunningly proportioned yet warm and welcoming family domain where period character gives way to light-filled contemporary living and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle of impressive scale. Zoned for the sought-after pairing of Camberwell High School and Wattle Park Primary while offering an easy commute to elite private schools, the home offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large home office - including an independently accessed residence set atop the garage - to ensure it flexes and expands with the needs of the large and growing family.
Rich in character and bathed in natural light, the home's polished timber flooring is complemented by a crisp white colour palate before culminating in vast open-plan living and dining that provides an impressive central hub to daily living and large-scale entertaining. At its heart, a gleaming white gourmet kitchen with stone benches and stainless-steel appliances delivers style and substance, while expansive concertina doors dissolve the indoor-outdoor distinction, inviting guests to step outdoors to a covered alfresco setting that is set under a retractable awning, serviced by a fully plumbed outdoor kitchen and backed by a private garden oasis, making it ideally suited to everything from long lunches to late evening drinks.
The accommodation is equally impressive. A generous ground-floor primary master bedroom enjoys the luxury of a walk-in robe and ensuite, while a dedicated (upstairs) children's domain highlights a trio of bedrooms with easy access to a rumpus / media room and a full family bathroom. Cast above the home's garage, with its own ensuite, an independently accessed studio apartment presents the home's fifth bedroom with another ensuite to open a myriad of possibilities spanning everything from adult children and intergenerational living to the home-based professional or the best teen sleepover venue imaginable.
Meticulously maintained and endlessly updated with a rare and enduring attention to detail, the home has been conceived around the way a modern family may actually live and also offers more formal lounge and dining rooms - with one gas log and one open fireplace as well as an oversized double lock-up garage with a double carport and secure driveway parking for an additional three vehicles. Further highlights of this details-oriented home include a laundry, a powder room, huge amounts of storage including in the roof cavity and the year-round comfort of newly upgraded ducted heating and air conditioning.
Right on the cusp of Through Road's shopping strip where the locally iconic Miss Frank's Café, an IGA and local amenities are terrific conveniences, the home is also just moments from Wattle Park, Riversdale Road trams, Union Station bound buses and Middle Camberwell shops, while Camberwell Junction is also just down the road.
