Gracing a generous and enchanting garden with many mature shrubs, and beautiful trees, this classic Edwardian family residence is enviably situated in one of the most sought-after tree-lined streets in Hawthorn, surrounded by many classic period homes. Despite its inner-city location, it evokes memories of a country homestead and tranquil gardens providing a wonderful oasis away from the vibrant suburbs nearby.
Displaying an abundance of charm and character, the home is introduced by a timber fretwork, tessellated tile, return verandah and a tuckpoint brick façade. With the interior over two levels features preserved authentic period attributes including a wide triple arched hallway, high ornately decorated ceilings and cornices plus coloured leadlight glass and box bay windows. Combined with an enticing opportunity to renovate, extend and reconfigure the home retaining its period character whilst creating contemporary family living spaces (STCA).
The graciously proportioned accommodation typical of its era includes the hallway leading to a formal sitting room and adjacent dining room, two upper-level attic-style bedrooms with built-in robes, one with a study alcove and a water closet. Three downstairs bedrooms, two with built-in robes, including a rear guest bedroom with an ensuite, renovated central bathroom, separate shower room and a laundry. An informal living/TV room sits alongside a country-style kitchen/meals equipped with Asko and St George appliances. Both opening to the expansive paved outdoor spaces and a quaint cottage, external retreat, studio or home office and workshop, all overlooking the garden catering perfectly for family living and entertaining in the leafy outdoors. Other features include an alarm, hydronic heating, original OFPs, R/C air conditioners (main and upstairs bedroom), rainwater tanks, productive vegetable gardens, garden shed/workshop and off-street parking.
This evocative Edwardian residence is within walking distance of Fairview Park and the Yarra River walking and cycling tracks, also close to the eclectic West Hawthorn or Glenferrie Road shops, cafes, restaurants or Lido theatre and the Hawthorn Recreation Centre. Moments from the local primary school and several prestige private schools; plus, public transport options with three trams, Hawthorn station or CityLink for accessing the CBD - further enhancing its lifestyle appeal.
