34 Auburn Parade, Hawthorn East

Refreshed and reinvigorated while sympathetic to the home's inherent character, this late Victorian showpiece characterises an uncompromising pursuit of family-focused luxury. Set among a picturesque avenue adored for its heritage masterpieces, tuckpointed brickwork and meticulously manicured gardens augment an enthralling street stance, revealing an interior emphasising light, space, and freedom of flow. Executed to the specifications of renowned Seidler Group, an inspired renovation brings new life to the historic home, with an array of modern luxuries complementing an intricate hall arch, skirts, cornices, architraves, and fireplaces. A trio of generous, robe-lined guest rooms are serviced by a lavish main bathroom, while a sumptuous master enjoys a walk-in dressing room and luxe ensuite with marble-top vanity. Gracefully connecting original and modern sections, a winding hallway showcases a superb glass ceiling, setting an airy tone for a stunning indoor/outdoor domain at rear. Surrounded by recessed LED lights, open living and dining zones enjoy vistas of a tranquil light garden, with a gas fire making for warm and cosy evenings come wintertime. A sun-soaked sanctuary on summer afternoons, a first-class entertainer's yard features a glistening, solar-heated pool, accompanied by an open-air dining zone, automatic awning, and outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue. Adjoined by a smart study station, a stellar, CDK Stone-top kitchen boasts a suite of upmarket Siemens appliances, alongside an integrated refrigerator/freezer pair, fitted wine refrigerator, butler's pantry with zip tap, and abundant soft-close cabinetry. With exquisite light fittings and tapware/basins sourced from the USA and Europe respectively, additional highlights include towering, original ceilings, comprehensive heating and cooling, wide-board engineered oak floors, electric blinds, indoor and outdoor powder rooms (four WCs in total), a full-size laundry, sizeable shed, and double garage with storeroom and wide laneway access. Perfectly placed to leave the car at home and explore on foot, it's mere metres from city-bound trains and trams, the blissful Fritsch Holzer Park, and celebrated retail, restaurants, cafs, and nightspots of Camberwell Junction and Auburn Village, while moments from some of Melbourne's most esteemed public and private schools.
