This superb late-1920s family residence graces a magnificent allotment of approximately 864sqm. Overlooking a well-established front garden and the leafy expanse of Highfield Park, the home has a commanding street presence, with an imposing tuck-pointed brick façade that is a striking example of classic Art Deco architecture. Brimming with charm, it retains original period detailing including stained timberwork, elegant bay windows, coloured leadlight glazing, decorative ceilings and ornate cornices.
Recently refurbished, the interiors combine the stately proportions typical of the era with ample accommodation over two levels for relaxed living and indoor/outdoor entertaining. Downstairs, polished hardwood floors flow through the hallway to a formal sitting room, an adjoining dining room, two bedrooms, a home office, and two period-style bathrooms, one combined with the laundry. Upstairs, the main bedroom with built-in robes is joined by a second bedroom, a matching third bathroom, a retreat/study area, and a playroom/storage space.
A generous family room is served by a well-equipped kitchen with stone benchtops and premium Westinghouse appliances and opens through French doors to a wisteria-clad pergola and outdoor dining area. Set in lush rear gardens gently shaded by mature trees, it is a delightful spot for alfresco entertaining. Additional features include ducted heating, original open fireplaces with timber over-mantels, reverse-cycle air conditioning, excellent internal and roof storage, off-street parking, and a secure garage with storage.
Enviably situated in Camberwell, one of Melbourne's most sought-after suburbs, the property is close to Maling Road and to Lynden and Wattle Parks. Shopping options and amenities are just minutes away, from the Middle Camberwell supermarkets to the Junction's cafes, restaurants and weekend market, along with an outstanding array of prestige schools and Deakin University. The Riversdale Road tram and Willison station are both within walking distance, offering easy access to schools and the CBD. Altogether, the location provides a marvellous choice of recreation and lifestyle facilities right on the doorstep.
