Summerhill Estate prestige magnificently merges with manicured garden beauty to introduce the impeccably and meticulously-maintained, family-focused setting of this large and light, four bedroom and study 1920s period residence. Extending over two flexible levels, this elegantly-composed and superbly-appointed home of exceptional modern quality presents a lifestyle opportunity of sheer perfection in a coveted parklands pocket near leading schools and local shopping precincts. A wide central hallway opens to a sequence of exquisitely proportioned rooms that reveal a refined emphasis on Art Nouveau craftsmanship and character. Separate formal sitting and dining rooms retain their original decorative ceilings, balanced by an outstanding main bedroom suite (fitted walk-in robe and stone-finished ensuite), a north-facing study, a powder room and laundry. Forming a seamless connection to glorious rear landscaped garden and an entertainment terrace is a ground-floor family domain extending from spacious living and dining areas to a stunning waterfall island kitchen integrating Ilve stainless-steel appliances (gas cooktop, twin ovens), Bosch dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and quality solid hardwood floors. A versatile lounge/rumpus or extra bedroom, a family bathroom and an additional powder room complement three first-floor bedrooms each featuring built-in robes. This beautiful home features hydronic heating and ducted refrigerated air conditioning, together with video intercom, automatic sprinkler system, alarm system, plantation shutters, roof storage, rainwater tank and ample off-street parking. This immaculately-presented solid brick residence is substantial, sophisticated and picturesque, enjoying every family advantage in a privileged position surrounded by Ferndale, Hill ‘n’ Dale and Summerhill Parks, High Street and Hartwell cafes and shopping, bike paths, train station, trams and a selection of excellent schools.
