From the street, this double-fronted Victorian presents as a traditional period home, sitting beautifully within its pretty garden setting. Step inside, however, and there is far more than first impressions suggest.
Soaring ceilings and generous, light-filled proportions set the tone, with a traditional arched hallway leading past three large bedrooms with built-in robes and a relaxed formal living room with a cosy firebox.
Towards the rear, the home takes a striking contemporary turn. A beautifully executed modern extension brings impressive ceiling heights and abundant natural light to an expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living area, where the entertainer's kitchen includes quality appliances, a freestanding island bench with breakfast bar and ample storage. A luxurious bathroom with a separate bath adds another polished element, while glass doors extend the space effortlessly to a rear deck and sizeable garden.
And then there is one more surprise. Cleverly tucked away from the main part of the home, the main bedroom creates a private retreat with tranquil garden views, a walk-in robe and its own ensuite.
Other highlights include off-street parking for two cars via remote roller door, separate laundry, attic storage, split-system heating and cooling, ceiling fans, double glazing, retractable remote deck awning, water tanks, garden shed, alarm, security cameras and more.
All within an easy walk of Alphington Station, local shops, cafes and the weekly farmers' market with the Darebin and Yarra Bend parklands, Fairfield Village, schools and the Eastern Freeway also close by.
