Rare Eaglemont Opening Of Elegance & Potential
SOLD by Miles Real Estate
racing one of Eaglemont's most prestigious tree-lined pockets and cherished by the one family for over six decades, this character-rich four bedroom residence combines Art Deco inspiration and current-day comfort with rare future promise on a magnificent 981m2 allotment (approx).
Having valiantly resisted the march of the modern era to retain many unique and classical original features, this delightful solid brick home is immediately inviting with old world charm a defining feature expressed in ornamental ceilings, recessed window seats, polished hardwood floorboards and the impeccable presentation of a much-loved family setting.
Multiple living areas provide exceptional flexibility, beginning with a beautiful front sitting room opposite a formal dining room of equal character and warmth, and an adjoining lounge room, with all connecting seamlessly to an immaculate kitchen and meals area with a fitted banquette.
Family accommodation is arranged across both levels, offering four well-proportioned bedrooms including a generous ground-floor retreat with built-in robes and a garden outlook, while upstairs reveals three further bedrooms beneath high mansard ceilings. A pristine original bathroom on the main level retains its vintage pastel palette, complemented by a convenient upstairs powder room and a well-appointed laundry.
A vast, sun-soaked rear garden unfolds beyond the home, where sweeping lawn and established fruit trees create an abundance of space for children to explore, while a paved terrace and pergola provide a wonderful setting for outdoor gatherings by an external toilet and a substantial remote-control double garage with a workshop area.
Further enhancing day-to-day comfort are split-system air-conditioning, gas heating, a security alarm, generous storage and the enduring solidity of its mid-century construction.
Lovingly maintained and perfectly comfortable as is, this long-held home invites the unrivalled opportunity when ready for a stylish renovation/extension or a stunning new bespoke residence (STCA) to luxuriously capitalise on its substantial blue-ribbon landholding.
A compelling once in a generation opening close to Eaglemont Village cafes and train station, Albert Jones Reserve and playground, prestige schools including Ivanhoe Grammar and Our Lady of Mercy College, vibrant Burgundy Street and Ivanhoe precinct shopping and restaurants, and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
