A genuinely unique family offering in what is arguably Carnegie's most prized tree-lined street, this remarkable Edwardian residence has been architecturally reimagined to connect with its circa-1910 origins while delivering a boldly contemporary, lofty and light-filled rear that is tastefully inspired by the Hamptons. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a sundrenched alfresco flow, the home evokes a lavish entertainers' spirit in a peaceful setting, just around the corner from the cosmopolitan vibrancy of Koornang Road.
Completely freestanding with securely gated parking at the front, the home creates a picture-perfect street presence within a north-facing garden allotment, where the hedge-surrounded backyard delivers an alluring, whisper-quiet sense of privacy.
Beyond its magnificent period façade, the home reveals leadlight windows, freshly polished timber flooring and plenty of period detail, all under soaring 3 metres ceilings before culminating in a lounge room that is spectacularly set under a double height cathedral ceiling and semi-attached open-plan kitchen / dining. A symphony of light and proportion, the effect is instantly captivating, whilst a broad kitchen island provides a welcoming focal point for family breakfasts.
A wall of concertina doors unfold to extend the indoors outside to a perfectly north-facing deck that is set under a retractable awning for year-round enjoyment and a backyard where the sense of sanctuary is remarkable. Perfect both for boisterous entertaining and for quiet reflection.
Part of the extension, the primary bedroom is an impressively sized mezzanine-styled hideaway, set upstairs, with built-in robes, a built-in desk, a north-facing Juliette-style balcony and a subway-tiled ensuite. Meanwhile, each of the remaining bedrooms offers spacious family accommodation, freshly carpeted with fireplaces and one with walk-in robes.
Further highlights of this ready-to-be-enjoyed family home include a second east-facing deck that draws glorious morning sun, a large central bathroom with an independent bathtub and separate wc, as well as a concealed laundry, a large garden shed, security alarm, central ducted heating and evaporative cooling.
This is a treasured position in the heart of Carnegie where healthy outdoor lifestyle choices can be made at all the surrounding parkland, bike trails, Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool and GESAC, then offset at all the cosmopolitan restaurants, cafes and bars of Koornang Road, plus you can walk to city-bound trains at Carnegie Railway Station, trams, buses, supermarkets and the highly regarded Carnegie Primary School.
