15 Grovedale Road, Surrey Hills

Perfectly positioned on a tightly held, tree-lined avenue, ‘Wakefield’ is a beautifully reimagined single-level residence where classic 1930s charm meets modern luxury. Meticulously renovated to offer timeless elegance and contemporary comfort, this stunning Californian Bungalow delivers an exceptional family lifestyle in the prized catchment for Camberwell High and Canterbury Girls Secondary College. Beyond the home’s evocative façade and lush Japanese-inspired gardens, a wide entrance hall with high ceilings, original polished hardwood floors and exquisite leadlight glass detailing sets the tone for the generous proportions and refined interiors that define this remarkable home. At the heart of the residence, a light-filled open-plan living and dining domain with cathedral ceilings and an ethanol fireplace offers a warm and inviting setting for family living. The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, appointed with premium appliances including a Smeg freestanding range, striking granite island and benchtops and extensive soft-close 2-pac cabinetry, perfect for effortless entertaining. Two sets of stacker doors extend the living space outdoors to a newly renovated alfresco sanctuary. Designed with resort-style relaxation in mind, the superbly landscaped entertaining zone features a fully tiled self-cleaning mineral pool, sun deck, outdoor shower, pergola, built-in barbecue and a six-seater spa with waterproof privacy blinds, creating a private oasis ideal for year-round enjoyment. Three generous bedrooms include a serene master suite with a picturesque bay window, walk-in robe, and designer ensuite with statement twin basins. The remaining bedrooms, both with built-in robes, are serviced by a charming original bathroom with attractive tessellated tiled flooring. Additional highlights include a well-equipped laundry and butler’s pantry, off-street parking for two vehicles, storage shed, ducted evaporative cooling, hydronic heating and an additional split system unit in the loungeroom, privacy blinds, flyscreens, water features and extensive outdoor lighting. Set on substantial land, the home also offers future potential for a second-storey addition, with engineered steel beams already in place [STCA]. Located just footsteps from tranquil Grovedale Park and moments from the shops and cafés of Balwyn village and Union Road, city-bound trams and trains, Maranoa Botanic Gardens, Chatham Primary and within easy reach of elite private schools including Xavier College and Trinity Grammar, this is an exceptional opportunity in one of Melbourne’s most desirable family precincts.
