Landmark Family Size, Scope & Location
SOLD By Miles Real Estate.
- A landmark property admired by locals at the river end of one of Fairfield's most beautiful treelined avenues, this substantial tuckpointed-brick residence on a 809m2 allotment (approx) is where a family comes together with love and laughter to live large, entertain guests and walk with ease to nearby cafes, shops, parks and schools.
Enjoyed by the same family for over 60 years and expanded across the generations, this tightly-held home of 11 principal rooms is an early 20th-century treasure merging original character with decades of adaptation over two flexible levels including a huge self-contained, first-floor retreat.
A looping brick fence, fragrant front garden and a terrazzo-paved veranda introduce an extensive ground-floor layout where an ornate reception foyer and a central hallway showcase enduring period craftsmanship with leadlight windows, decorative fretwork and high strapped ceilings.
Four spacious bedrooms, family living and dining rooms with a study alcove and a solid timber kitchen with stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a central family bathroom (shower, bidet), full-size laundry, a cellar and ducted gas heating.
An independently accessed upper-level dwelling ideal for intergenerational family needs or more creative purposes features three bedrooms, two bathrooms (ensuite to main bedroom), a full kitchen, living/dining room, a north-facing studio and split-system heating/cooling plus a big, sunny undercover balcony.
A celebration of family hospitality and the legacy of warmth and care that shaped this home, a wonderful alfresco setting at the rear includes a dining/preparation room with a full kitchen and a pizza oven, undercover and vine-draped entertainment areas, studio/home office with a bathroom, four-car garage with a cool room and ample secure off-street parking.
Be the beneficiaries of the current owner's commitment to family and taste for the good life with this expansive and comfortable home that offers potential to improve when ready with a carefully-curated infusion of contemporary quality and style.
A genuinely rare family lifestyle opportunity, this extraordinary offering in the Northcote High School zone is remarkably convenient delivering quick and easy access to nearby Fairfield Village shopping and restaurants, local primary and grammar schools, Fairfield Park and the Boathouse, Main Yarra Trail, train station and the Eastern freeway.
