A large and light-filled family classic, superbly elevated and with sweeping views that extend across a treetop canopy to Kew Junction, this solid brick three bedroom home is rich in more-than-livable 1940s character for today while also offering extraordinary future potential to renovate, extend or rebuild without any heritage restriction (all STCA) on a coveted high-side-of-the-street allotment of 650 square metres (approx.). Just moments from Harp and Willsmere Villages, in a particularly community-minded neighbourhood, the home is pivotal to eminent schooling options, offering something for today and something for tomorrow in an exclusive street surrounded by quality contemporary homes.
Introduced by terrazzo stairs and front veranda, the home's impeccably detailed etched glass front door opens to reveal a generous entrance hall, light and airy lounge and semi-attached dining, all with hardwood flooring and an easy flow to a kitchen and meals area where quality stainless steel appliances promise a gourmet cooking experience. The bedrooms have each been completed with built-in robes and the backyard is attractively landscaped and securely enclosed with a cubby, trampoline and swing set, plus there is a heritage bathroom and a separate powder room, a laundry with second wc and an under-house lock-up garage with driveway parking for an additional two vehicles.
Comfortably livable for today, in the zone for both Kew East Primary School and Kew High School and near St Anne's Primary School, as well as some wonderful cafes, dining options, bars and plenty of transport including High Street trams this is a blue chip opportunity close also to Hyde Park playground, Anniversary Trail paths and vast expanses of parkland along the Yarra River, at the Boulevard and at Studley Park, while the Eastern Freeway offers easy access to both the CBD and the Mornington Peninsula.
