Beyond its beautifully landscaped and privately enclosed front garden, this exceptional Victorian residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a home where timeless period elegance and sophisticated contemporary living exist in perfect harmony. Meticulously renovated throughout, it delivers immediate luxury and comfort while offering exciting scope to further extend or enhance the rear over time (STCA), allowing the home to evolve with your family's changing needs.
A graceful arched hallway creates an unforgettable first impression, where soaring pressed-metal ceilings, engineered European oak floors and magnificent original fireplaces celebrate the home's rich heritage. A refined formal sitting room, equally suited as a fourth bedroom, provides welcome flexibility, while the luxurious main suite enjoys tranquil garden outlooks from its bay window, extensive built-in robes and a beautifully appointed skylit ensuite. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes are accompanied by a stunning central bathroom featuring a freestanding stone bath, walk-in shower, heated towel rails and underfloor heating, while a separate formal dining room offers an elegant space for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
Designed for effortless family living and entertaining, the rear of the home unfolds into a light-filled open-plan living domain where a gourmet stone kitchen takes center stage. Appointed with premium European appliances, including an induction cooktop, oven, steam oven and integrated dishwasher, the expansive island bench anchors the space before flowing seamlessly into the generous living area. Full-width bifold doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening onto an expansive wraparound timber deck overlooking a tranquil water feature and beautifully landscaped, sun-drenched gardens—creating a private sanctuary for relaxed family living and exceptional entertaining.
Beautifully presented and ready to enjoy from day one, the home combines enduring character with every modern convenience. Premium appointments include custom solid American oak cabinetry, zoned ducted heating and cooling, electric underfloor heating, heated towel rails and feature lighting to both bathrooms, a split-system air conditioner to the living area, automated blinds, keypad entry, Ring security, Alexa-compatible smart home automation, irrigation, a well-appointed laundry with powder room and off-street parking.
Perfectly positioned in one of the area's most desirable tree-lined streets, just moments from Harleston Park, the cafés, restaurants and shopping of Glen Eira and Glen Huntly Roads, excellent public transport and a selection of Melbourne's leading schools, this is a rare offering that combines heritage beauty, contemporary luxury and outstanding future potential in an enviable lifestyle location.
