An exceptional family home of hard-to-find quality, this exquisite Edwardian residence delivers a rare grandeur on Beaumaris’ beachside streets. Irresistible from the street thanks to the leafy established gardens embracing a double red brick façade, the thoughtfully extended home then triumphs with interiors that seamlessly connect period character with sophisticated modernity. To the front, soaring decorative ceilings and delicate leadlight star in the decadent main bedroom and versatile home office where French doors open out to the shaded verandah. Beautiful bay windows are also on display; one perfectly complementing the elegant marble fireplace that invites relaxation in the formal lounge. Bursting open to the rear, the expansive entertaining zone with heated polished concrete flooring is a showcase of style, design and natural light. With space to relax and dine alongside the gas fireplace, hosts will undoubtedly be drawn to the exemplary stone kitchen where premium European appliances, masses of storage and stretches of silky stone set the tone for fabulous get-togethers. A picture window keeps a watchful eye on the fully-tiled solar-heated pool & spa, while a sheltered alfresco area with kitchenette enables outdoor dining whatever the weather. Across the two levels are three further double bedrooms, all offering fitted wardrobes and sharing the two sparkling bathrooms – one on each floor. An upstairs retreat gives families room to spread out, while more considered inclusions are the luxe guests’ powder room and walk-in pantry, together with a large laundry complete with storage and drying cupboard. Hydronic heating and multiple split systems ensure absolute comfort throughout the seasons and rounding off an impressive property are a garden shed and ample off-street parking. Merely metres to the beach and doors to the footy oval, this gorgeous home is a walk to bus stops, shops & dining options - near quality schooling including Mentone’s private options, it is in-zone for Mentone Girls’ and Beaumaris secondary colleges.
