Dramatically transformed by a recently completed landmark renovation, 'One Spencer' is an exquisite example of how current day architectural ingenuity can deliver a stunning celebration of light and proportion, whilst also paying the utmost of respect to the home's original Victorian integrity. Peacefully tucked away within a tranquil cul de sac - directly opposite the Fashoda Street Reserve and playground - this is a tastefully executed family entertainer with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a practical study nook, all just moments from the private school belt.
Beyond a faultless, block-fronted façade and a super-convenient double carport, the home opens to reveal all the hallmarks of its circa-1900 origins including fretwork, Baltic Pine flooring, soaring ceilings and an arched hallway, before culminating in an open-plan rear where the sense of occasion is almost theatrical. Stepping from the traditional to the contemporary, the open-plan reveals distinct dining, living, lounging and officing domains all warmed by two fireplaces, set under a soaring cathedral ceiling with exposed brickwork and steel girders and anchored by a gourmet stone-topped kitchen where premium appliances are complemented by volumes of cabinetry, farmhouse sinks and a large Butler's Pantry.
Effortlessly, the flow continues outdoors to an undercover deck and garden oasis, whilst an upstairs primary retreat is a welcome parental indulgence with custom built-in robes and a vast, fully-tiled ensuite where a walk-in rainwater and handheld shower is complemented by a double basin vanity.
Further highlights a second fully-tiled showpiece bathroom, a powder room, laundry and the ambient warmth of Thermosoft Electric panel heaters, as well as subfloor heating in the bathrooms and laundry, plus there is split system heating / air conditioning.
This is an exclusive address within the St James Park precinct where a thriving local café, dining and bar scene on Glenferrie Road and at Kew Junction is complemented by vast green expanses along the banks of the Yarra River, as well as multiple trams, city-bound trains and easy school access for a peerless lifestyle experience
