Undeniable character, unexpected space
There is an immediate sense that this is a home which has been loved. Held by the same family for 47 years, this double-fronted Victorian has been carefully renovated and extended over time, revealing interiors of unexpected scale and remarkable versatility. Bright throughout, it combines generous family living with the timeless appeal that makes homes of this era so enduring. A north-facing rear garden with a pool, spa and undercover alfresco area provides the perfect finishing touch.
Inside, a wide central hallway leads to a series of generous, well-proportioned spaces. Three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in robes, are complemented by a stylish bathroom, while a formal living room with an open fireplace and an elegant dining room with a gas log fire retain the warmth and character of the original home. Bifold doors connect to a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area, where a northern aspect and views across the garden, pool and spa fill the space with natural light. Well designed with quality appliances and ample storage, the timber kitchen is equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale.
Upstairs, a sitting room and study with built-in shelving and desk provide a quiet retreat. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes include the main bedroom, complete with city views and an ensuite featuring a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
Extras include two studio spaces, undercover off-street parking, solar panels, laundry, storage, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and more.
Completing the appeal is a location that has long been one of the area's most desirable, with High Street's cafés, restaurants and boutiques, city-bound trams and trains, local schools and nearby parks all within easy walking distance.
