Timeless grandeur, solid construction and an extensive floorplan combine in this truly magnificent residence positioned within a historically significant precinct. A prominent Art Deco creation dating back to 1938, originally the builders own home, it is now offered to the market for the first time in fifty years. With many period details retained, the configuration lends itself to a multitude of uses and the options are endless to personalise and renovate an already very comfortable and much loved family home back to its opulent glory.
Beyond a double brick, dual level façade embellished with hallmarks of the era such as a curved feature front porch and upstairs balcony, an extravagant entrance with original etchings of bamboo and peacock introduces grand formal living and dining rooms with decorative open fireplaces and the main bedroom (BIRs) boasting an ensuite. A home office provides a spacious spot to work or study and the central kitchen with classic St George appliances and an ASKO dishwasher flows to a casual dining zone and north facing family room with glass sliding doors to the verdant rear garden with northern aspect. A separate laundry and bathroom at the rear complete the downstairs domain.
An elegant staircase leads to upstairs where three further bedrooms are accompanied by a family bathroom and a lounge room with direct balcony access, the idyllic spot for afternoon drinks! Under-stair storage, ducted heating, an expansive storage shed/workshop and ample off street parking for multiple vehicles are excellent attributes.
With buses on the doorstep, the premier locale is zoned for Glen Iris Primary School and Ashwood High School and is moments from Ashburton Village and station, both Ferndale and Gardiner’s Creek cycling and walking trails and easy M1 access.
