Classical period character is infused with contemporary function and sundrenched alfresco living in this utterly charming and completely freestanding 3 bedroom residence in a peaceful family pocket near Packer Park and the very best of Koornang Road. Resplendent on a 557 sqm (approx.) north-facing corner, this is a home that invites you to live amidst its considerable current day charm, fall in love with the area and ponder the possibility to renovate, extend, rebuild or even redevelop (all STCA).
Set behind the exquisite period-faithful formality of a rose garden, the home creates a pretty-as-a-picture street presence, overseen by a welcoming front veranda, before opening to a broad hallway that respects the past while looking to the future with leadlight windows and finely detailed ceilings. Here, a vast lounge / dining is warmed by a traditional fireplace for winter ambiance and seamlessly connected to north-facing alfresco living for summer entertaining.
The kitchen has been updated with a brief of family functionality as it highlights modern stainless steel appliances and plenty of soft close cabinetry, whilst each of the bedrooms is generously scaled in the style of period homes and have been updated with built-in robe storage.
Timelessly elegant, the home also reveals a superbly renovated contemporary bathroom, a huge laundry with powder room and driveway parking for at least 2 vehicles, as well as a security alarm, central ducted heating and a split system.
This is a coveted location that allows you to wander to Packer Park for some outdoor recreation and playground action, whilst Left Field is a wonderful local café and the Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool is also walkable, plus you have huge amounts of dining, cafes, shopping and more cafes on both Koornang Road and Murrumbeena Village, as well as nearby trams, buses and trains from Carnegie or Murrumbeena Railway Stations. Moments from Carnegie Primary School and zoned for Glen Eira College.
