Nestled in one of Deepdene's exclusive, tree-lined avenues, directly opposite Deepdene Park and positioned on the cusp of the Reid Estate, this classic English-style residence has been meticulously renovated to capture its original circa-1930s charms and merge them with four bedrooms, a study and an exceptional oversized modern family living area at the rear. Grandly proportioned and culminating in sundrenched poolside entertaining for an alfresco lifestyle, this home is perfect for the most discerning of families who appreciate the privilege of one of Melbourne's most esteemed residential pockets.
A timeless façade of soaring rooflines, diamond leadlight windows and clinker brickwork sets the tone for a warm and inviting interior. Polished timber floorboards flow throughout and the home exhibits all the rich traditions of its era, before opening to a vast, skylit open-plan rear that connects seamlessly to a gas-and-solar-heated swimming pool, surrounded by a beautifully manicured private garden. Underpinned by expansive dining / living and a gourmet kitchen with an island stone bench, induction cooking and a butler's pantry, the home is well suited to peaceful contemplation as well as gathering with family and friends.
A large formal lounge gazes out across Deepdene Park, whilst a semi-attached dining room fills with northern light and can readily serve as a music room if preferred. Remaining on the ground floor, the primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat complete with a generous walk-in robe and a fully tiled ensuite, all of which is adjacent to a home office/study including a built-in desk and shelving. A guest powder room and a full-size laundry complete the ground floor features.
Upstairs, the remaining three well-proportioned bedrooms one with a large walk-in robe and two offering built-in robes are accompanied by a family bathroom and a separate powder room. Adjacent is a central retreat providing a further valuable living zone.
Additional notable appointments of this distinguished residence include a lock-up garage with driveway parking for 3 vehicles, exceptional storage throughout, a wine cellar, and the year-round enjoyment of a gas log fireplace, ducted heating, reverse cycle heating / air conditioning and split systems.
Enjoy an easy stroll to the cafes and shops of Whitehorse Road, where city-bound trams provide easy access to Melbourne's elite private schools. The nearby Outer Circle/Anniversary Trail offers excellent walking and cycling opportunities, while additional shopping, dining, and cinemas can be found close by in Balwyn and at Camberwell Junction.
