Respectfully renovated and expansively extended, this is where yesterday’s period grace meets today’s family space. Grandly scaled over two lofty levels, this four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom c.1927 home rises high to offer today’s in-demand triple-zone floorplan - featuring fine formal lounge and dining rooms, an expansive family zone and a private parents’ lounge in a lofty master-level. With even more living in an endlessly entertaining all-weather al fresco area (with glass-fenced, bamboo-hedged in-deck spa), this gracious home is cleverly zoned with a vast master domain (featuring immense ensuite, walk-in-robe and vaulted ceiling) and over-size robe-fitted ground-floor bedrooms - one with study/retreat.Appointed in substantial style with a timeless 2-Pack and granite kitchen (with Miele dishwasher and Italian commercial-quality Steel induction range), the home is authentically detailed with bespoke timber bathroom cabinetry, rich hardwood floors, lofty decorative ceilings and an impressive timber-mantled fireplace. Centrally heated, cooled and alarmed with all the contemporary conveniences, there’s 5-camera CCTV, 6000 water-storage reticulated to the garden …and a flat-screen TV for the al fresco zone! Even the outdoors provide the perfect combination of old-world beauty and up-to-the-minute ease with plentiful parking including a carport and extra-large, super-tall ‘tradies-paradise’ double auto-garage.Close to the edge of the Mar Lodge Estate, this is a signature property in a significantly desirable locale …just a few doors from the sports clubs of Buckley Park, within a walk of North Essendon village and Keilor Rd shops, in-Zone for Buckley Park Secondary College, minutes to prestigious private schools, and a stroll to the CBD tram.
