A landmark Federation residence along a coveted parkfront streetscape, this distinguished freestanding residence on 472 sqm (approx) is a peerless example of contemporary family brilliance, set within mature garden surrounds, with secure off-street parking for multiple cars via Canterbury Place. In addition, council-approved plans further enhance the livability of the ground-floor area of what is already a beautiful family home.
Beyond the magnificent façade, a dramatic hexagonal foyer introduces soaring ornate ceilings, rich hardwood panelling, and elaborate leadlight, true to its 1920 origins. Formal living and dining rooms unfold in symmetry, each enriched by original joinery, northern light, and the warmth of wood-burning fireplaces set in sleek tundra marble. Although replete with period beauty, the layout has been intelligently resolved, with concealed doors that transition from the formal rooms through a generous scullery to the striking kitchen, appointed with stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a butler’s pantry featuring a Billi tap and an integrated laundry.
Accommodation is just as impressive, with a ground-floor rear wing housing a home office, bedroom with built-in robes, and a beautifully finished bathroom. Two further bedroom suites follow upstairs, one with a renovated ensuite and extensive robes, and the principal suite, which opens to a northern balcony beneath a brick arch overlooking evergreen parkland. Glorious arched ceilings, a lavish en-suite with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, dual dressing areas, and a tundra fireplace lend it sophistication.
Outdoors, a bluestone-paved alfresco offers unlimited entertainment options, complemented by low-maintenance secure gardens for the kids and a fully integrated Weber barbecue kitchen. A double remote garage with additional off-street parking for two via electric vehicle gates is enhanced by a fully self-contained studio featuring raked ceilings and independent access. With hydronic heating, air conditioning upstairs, an alarm system, keyless entry, and irrigation to the landscaped gardens, it is comprehensively appointed and presented for a first-class family lifestyle, set within moments of Armstrong Street Village, the light rail, Albert Park Lake parklands, the beach, and excellent schools.
