Peacefully nestled within the leafy esteem of Hawthorn's coveted Urquhart Estate, this attractively presented and character-rich three-bedroom period home merges its original 1930s heritage with a more contemporary open-plan rear, strong connections to its largely native garden surrounds and a compelling sense of future opportunity. Set on a north-facing allotment of 398sqm*, the home exudes calm, current-day livability while the scope for longer-term rejuvenation or extension is sure to attract families looking to create a landmark residence (STCA).
With a rich sense of heritage, leadlight windows and a bay window set the tone upon entry, the home flows through a traditional arched hallway to a more modern open-plan and alfresco rear where natural timbers, warmth and seamless flow to a north-facing, garden-surrounded deck are all welcoming hallmarks. The front bedroom is superb with a leadlight bay window and bench seating complementing built-in robes, whilst the remaining bedrooms also feature built-in robes and the laundry is cleverly concealed. Additional features include a garage, driveway parking for two vehicles, security alarm, gas heater and split-system heating/air-conditioning.
As comfortable as the home is for today, it offers remarkable potential to capitalise on its prized orientation and prestigious address in the heart of Hawthorn's private school belt with zoning for Auburn High School, Canterbury Girls' Secondary College and Glenferrie Primary School. Adding to the lifestyle appeal, the property backs directly onto a walking path the starts at Scullin Park and leads to Hawthorn library, as well as the cafes, shops and conveniences of Glenferrie Road, multiple tram routes and Glenferrie Railway Station are all easily accessible.
