Discover the broad appeal of this gracious three-bedroom period home offering an enticing combination of position, proportions and possibility, in a gently evolving pocket surrounded by other wonderful character homes and stylish new builds.
Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street, this tightly-held property "Comrie" is home to an impressive c1910 Return Style Villa where a lifetime of memories have been made playing in the sun-swept gardens, walking to picturesque Glenunga Reserve, shopping up a storm at Burnside Village or spending long summers at the Hazelwood Swimming Centre. This is a beautiful setting for family life!
Generous proportions and early-century details such as Baltic Pine floors, soaring ceilings, deep skirtings, ceiling roses, hallway timber fretwork, stunning leadlight windows and the gorgeous open fireplaces with decorative mantels throughout provide a compelling foundation for a statement renovation and/or extension.
Beyond the neat front garden starring a magnificent Jacaranda tree, the residence capitalises on its prized position with expansive living beyond the gracious North-Eastern verandah, where the leadlight entry, wide entry hall, beautiful lounge with feature fireplace and three large bedrooms all blend comfort, character and tranquillity. The dine-in family kitchen retains its vintage wood-burning cooker and provides access to the cellar; while flowing off the rear lobby, the sleek, modern bathroom with spa bath, walk-in shower, oak vanity and twin mirrored cabinets certainly impresses.
