This classic Edwardian family home, originally built in 1910, is set back on a prominent corner allotment behind a well-established leafy garden with mature trees and access from Henry Street. Rich in character, the home beautifully combines timeless period features, including a tuckpointed brick façade, tessellated tile return verandah, original stained timber detailing and exposed brick elements, with a warm and inviting refurbished interior.
Spanning two levels, the home offers exceptional family flexibility while presenting an exciting opportunity to further update, renovate or reconfigure to suit contemporary living, all while preserving its charming period character (STCA). Occupying a substantial corner allotment, it also offers outstanding potential as a future development site (STCA). The gracious proportions, characteristic of its era, begin with a wide entrance hallway featuring a decorative timber fretwork arch, leading to a formal sitting room and two versatile downstairs bedrooms, or alternatively one bedroom and a formal dining room. The main bedroom is appointed with built-in robes and a private ensuite, while a beautifully renovated central bathroom showcases sleek black fittings. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, both serviced by a stylish all-white family bathroom. At the heart of the home, a country-style kitchen equipped with premium Miele and Brandt appliances overlooks a generous family living and dining area, accompanied by an adjacent laundry and storage room. Both spaces open seamlessly to an expansive entertaining deck and the leafy rear garden, where a tranquil water feature creates a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Additional features include ducted heating, original open fireplaces, ceiling fans, reverse-cycle air conditioning to the main bedroom and kitchen/living area, a garden shed and off-street parking.
The home's appeal is further enhanced by its ultra-convenient lifestyle location, within easy walking distance of Kew Junction's vibrant shopping precinct, renowned cafés, restaurants and the forthcoming Kew Recreation Centre. It is also just minutes from some of Melbourne's finest public and private schools, the No. 48 and 109 tram routes providing easy access to the CBD and sporting precincts, the Eastern Freeway, and the extensive Yarra River parklands and walking and cycling trails.
