A grand scale family entertainer just a few short steps from Camberwell Junction, this classical, double-fronted and solid brick Victorian residence has been boldly renovated without inhibition to synthesise its original circa-1890s heritage with expansive open-plan and alfresco proportions crafted to delight entertainers. Beyond its traditional Hawthorn-brick façade and a welcoming double veranda, the home opens to reveal four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and all the hallmarks of its era before transitioning to spectacular modern proportions at the rear and a lavish upstairs parental retreat.
Immensely scaled and effortlessly connected to a deck that draws plenty of natural sunlight, the home's open-plan dining / living room is designed for all styles of entertaining and is anchored by a gourmet kitchen in which Miele appliances are complemented by a huge stone-topped island bench that comfortably seats at least five. Importantly, the kitchen also features a sealable Butler's Kitchen with a gas cooktop. Meanwhile, a traditional lounge at the front of the home is an intimate and ambient space, warmed by a marble-mantled fireplace.
Extended upstairs, the home offers parents the sanctuary of a lofty primary bedroom, set under a soaring vaulted ceiling, with generous walk-in robes, two terraces and an ensuite that has been appointed with an oversized shower, spa bath and double basin vanity. Meanwhile, the remaining bedrooms are each generously scaled and completed with both built-in robes and plantation shutters, whilst added highlights include a double lock-up garage, a powder room, laundry, security alarm with surveillance cameras and split system heating / air conditioning to back up a huge Jetmaster gas log fireplace in the open-plan.
Stroll around the corner to enjoy a wonderful diversity of cafes, restaurants, shopping and bars both at Camberwell Junction and at Auburn Village, plus you have multiple city-bound trams and trains from Auburn Railway Station for easy access to a diversity of nearby private schools.
