Superbly positioned in one of Hawthorn East’s most tightly-held pockets, this expansive five-bedroom residence occupies a generous 1,065 sqm (approx.) allotment and offers a rare family sanctuary of scale, serenity and distinction.
Lovingly built and maintained by the same family for nearly 43 years, the home presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial residence in a prestigious, tree-lined street, within close proximity to esteemed schools — including Camberwell Girls Grammar, Scotch College, Bialik College, Auburn South Primary and Auburn High School.
Originally designed by renowned architect Kurt Popper and since renovated, this light-filled home unfolds over four thoughtfully planned levels. A series of formal and informal living and dining zones provide abundant space for family living, entertaining and quiet retreat.
At the rear, the main living areas open out to a wide, wraparound alfresco terrace, perfectly positioned to capture elevated valley views. A striking raked glass ceiling enhances the informal living space, flooding it with natural light and architectural drama.
Keen chefs will love the well-appointed kitchen, which boasts an oversized granite island and benchtops, premium Smeg appliances, extensive cabinetry and a large pantry with pull-out shelving for added convenience.
Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms include a serene master suite with a walk-in robe and a pristine ensuite featuring a double vanity and heated towel rail.
The ground floor offers exceptional versatility, incorporating a fifth bedroom, spacious rumpus room, a dedicated study with integrated desk and cabinetry, a gym, sauna and an additional living area that opens via bi-fold doors to a sun-drenched courtyard and swimming pool.
Additional appointments include a family bathroom, powder room, laundry, heating and cooling, ducted vacuum and a double garage with a separate storage room.
Comfortable and immediately liveable as is, the property also invites scope for future enhancement, a luxury renovation or the development of a contemporary new residence or dual-occupancy project (STCA).
Commanding a premier lifestyle location, this exceptional home is moments from the beloved Anderson Park, city-bound trams, South Camberwell cafés, Tooronga Village shopping, as well as being close to Camberwell Junction, Tooronga Station and the Monash Freeway for seamless CBD and peninsula access.
