Subscribe to regular market updates. A sublime sanctuary of sensory pleasure and family functionality deeply immersed in garden greenery, this warm and wonderful 2-level Edwardian offers an idyllic, country-inspired lifestyle experience with flexible 5 bedroom accommodation, a huge freestanding studio and a lush, north-facing rear garden oasis. From the moment of entry, this beautiful home settles into a gentle, enveloping rhythm shaped by colour, texture and filtered light, revealing itself progressively with each carefully-curated zone carrying its own atmosphere while remaining innately connected to the whole. Soft lime-washed paints, polished timber floors and vintage accoutrements create a soulful, stylish and blissful milieu that extends throughout, beginning with a versatile 4 bedroom (or 3 and study) ground-floor layout, complemented by a central family bathroom (clawfoot bath and separate shower) and full-size laundry. The design-led transformation directed by Melbourne-based Kim Kneipp continues upstairs where a large parents’ retreat offers space to rest and rejuvenate with its great-sized bedroom, captivating ensuite (Tarlo & Graham vintage basin) and sun-drenched balcony. All steps lead to a supremely comfortable family zone at the rear, that complemented by a big country kitchen with extensive bench space, storage and European appliances, flows from the ultra-cosy corners of lounge (fitted seating) and sitting/dining areas to a fireside living room with a bay window beneath a soaring mansard ceiling with a fan. French doors by a light-court’s church window open to a paved alfresco terrace and leafy landscaped garden where time stands still for those that love to entertain, before a Scandinavian cedar sauna and a substantial separate studio / storage facility with secure rear laneway access (potential to re-instate parking). Enhanced by hydronic heating, handmade tiles, dimmable lighting and endless storage, this peaceful double-fronted home is a holistic haven of family happiness in a quiet village street culminating in parkland close to cafes, shopping precincts, train station, schools and tranquil nature trails by the river.
