SOLD BY Nelson Alexander. Exquisitely remarkable for both its preserved character and sophisticated enhancements, this storybook four bedroom plus study, two bathroom Federation flawlessly delivers abundant family comfort with resort-style entertaining. Located within a tranquil cul-de-sac just steps to the lush banks of the Yarra River it rests on an expansive 1000m2 (approx.) block, the landscaped front garden complementing a quintessential façade wrapped in an ornate veranda. A picturesque collaboration between elegant leadlight/bay windows, high decorative ceilings, mantled open fireplace and hardwood floors inspire the impeccable original appeal, while the spaciously bright open conversation incorporates flowing flexibility from all angles.
The front lounge offers a retreat for teenagers and the stone-bench Chef's kitchen makes cooking from home a delight with its quality stainless-steel Smeg gas cooktop/electric oven, ASKO dishwasher, generous butler's pantry, lengthy waterfall island and plentiful soft-close/push-to-open cabinetry.
Flooded in a cascade of north-facing sunlight is the airy dining/family domain comprising a Jotul Coonara wood heater; and leading through bi-fold doors to an outdoor entertainer's deck and solar-heated magnesium mineral pool. The grassy backyard adjoins an outhouse studio that can be transformed into a home office or additional accommodation. There is also a remote-controlled triple garage and private off-street-parking via secure gated ROW.
