What's around 198 Main Rd

Enhanced, Embellished And With A Dash Of Deco

Accessed from Edwards Street and set well back from Main Road sprawling gardens add to the sense of space and deliver an almost rural-like setting for this landmark home. An inspired display of deco delights, it is proof that as much as modern homes are all about simple, clean lines, it's almost impossible to not be in awe of enhanced embellishment and a "pop" of glamorous deco detail. Home to only two families in its 65 years, this evocative 50's residence set on an impressive 1000sqm (approx) perfectly marries its heritage interior with carefully considered modern comforts. Polished timber floors, decorated and adorned 12 ft ceilings, detailed cornice, bespoke lighting and original tiles deliver period originality through a floor plan that offers formal dining room, formal living/library opening to a "crazy paved" terrace, period style bathroom serving three bedrooms and a granite kitchen that's timeless in aesthetic and functional in design. Sympathetically opened up in a way Gatsby could never have envisaged, casual meals flows easily to casual living finished in decadent black porcelain tiles that lead to through glass doors and out to a very special alfresco precinct. Taking more than just a nod to the era, it blends the classic with the contemporary introducing vast decked living and dining spaces served by a granite outdoor kitchen (with dishwasher and rangehood) all against a landscaped back drop that includes a stone wall and water feature. With extras including garaging for up to 4 cars, workshop, powder room serving the alfresco zone, wine cellar, and the school, Lower Plenty Village, bus and hotel all within an easy stroll it's a rare opportunity to enjoy modern comforts in bygone brilliance.

My Personal Experience with Mr. Alvy Buffon, Estate Agent/Auctioneer for Morrison Kleeman

Myself and my wife had been planning on selling our Art Deco inspired home in Lower Plenty for the past two years. We knew it was absolutely essential to employ the best real estate company and the best agent from that company. During that time we attended many auctions to monitor prices and critically view the auctioneers performance and the conduct and style of the selling agent company. It soon became very clear Morrison Kleeman were by far the superior company in every respect of presentation and professional conduct.These professional qualities were personified by Alvy Buffon. I have dealt with several agents over my many years of transacting real estate, Alvy was like finding gold! He has the very rare and desirable combination of passion, transparency and breathlessly high talent for his craft. No magic wand needed, no conjuring just pure professionalism and ability in dealing with the complexities of transaction between the seller and potential buyers.His skills at auctioneering will certainly obtain for the vendor the best possible financial outcome. He comes with our recommendation wholehearted and from our hearts.
