480 Burke Road, Camberwell

Occupying a corner block on the high side of Camberwell’s iconic thoroughfare, this elevated art deco residence beckons you into spacious interiors, while offering huge renovation and development potential (STCA). Set on a magnificent allotment of 1017 sqm (approx.) with a broad 22 meter frontage and no Heritage Overlay, this two level four bedroom, two bathroom home is replete with original details. A formal lounge of distinctive elegance and adjoining dining room feature timber window frames, door surrounds and curved mantelpieces. A spectacular staircase is a testament to the stair maker’s craft. An updated kitchen opens to the informal living room with sliding door access to a deck and the private manicured large rear garden. The upper level is given over to an expansive main bedroom with balcony overlooking the front garden, a vintage bathroom and a fitted study. Downstairs accommodation is made up of a large bedroom with sitting area and open fireplace, complemented by two additional bedrooms, a nursery or 5th bedroom, and a semi-ensuite. With a separate entrance from Fairfield Avenue, this home also offers heating, cooling, laundry and two garages. This wonderfully central position gives instant access to trams to Camberwell Junction and beyond, the CBD and Mornington Peninsula via the Freeway, while it is just moments to shops, parks and a range of premier schools.
