A rare chance to secure a fully renovated majestic oasis perfect for entertaining on a grand scale. This prized Queen Anne Victorian home, with historical significance features striking period detail with elegant proportions and has been impressively renovated to a timeless, luxurious standard. In a premium Westgarth location, on an amazingly large allotment of approximately 1063 square metres the home is well setback from the street within a vast landscaped garden setting featuring a heated salt water/mineral pool (Slim Aaron would have liked to photograph the pool!), all securely hidden behind a high brick fence. Impressively grand, with return verandah, behind the front door lies an imposing entrance hall, soaring ceilings and stunning period details including original leadlight windows, moulded decorative ceilings and open fireplaces. Offering flexibility with multiple living spaces including formal living (one of the grandest living spaces in the area) and dining or fifth bedroom, four huge bedrooms all with bespoke cabinetry plus main with ensuite and gorgeous central family bathroom. For the avid entertainer the stylish dining and adjacent entertainers' kitchen featuring high end appliances (Smeg 900 mm stovetop and oven), marble benchtops and tiled splashback, plus huge butler's pantry with a second dishwasher, ample cabinetry and workspace, will be a true delight. Clever use of space has created separate outdoor areas for entertaining or retreating including a large undercover space. Easy vehicle access is provided with full side drive via remote controlled gated driveway to secure double garage and off-street parking for another 8 cars. Further highlights of this remarkable home include Blackbutt polished timber floors, ornate original light fittings, refrigerated cooling and central heating, landscaped gardens with limestone crazy paving.
Ideally located opposite lush green parklands within moments of Fairfield Boat House, Yarra River and Merri Creek trails and parklands, Westgarth Village, schools, shops, cafes, High Street, Station Street Village, sporting facilities, public transport options, Chandler Highway and Eastern Freeway and easily accessible to the CBD. Retreat from the world in this luxurious, inner urban period gem.
