OBVIOUS
These classic Edwardians always exude a welcoming charm — but the real strength of this home comes from its ability to combine the timeless beauty of the front with the practicality party at the back.
As you enter the house, you are greeted by two large bedrooms with built in robes and a renovated bathroom — which, with dividing hallway door feels more like a private kids retreat for the primary schoolers or tweens alike. Continuing along the restored Baltic pine floors you’ll find the laundry to left with ample storage room and courtyard access, as well as dedicated study area which can be closed off to create a fourth bedroom if needed. The formal dining features a recessed box window seat opposite, that not only allows the room to be filled with natural light but frames the courtyard and feature Japanese Maple perfectly. It’s here where we then transition from original to architectural, as the work of ‘Architected Studio’ comes to life. Engineered oak floors and cedar timber panelling features throughout and is carried through to the fully equipped outdoor pergola with built in barbecue and studio. The kitchen and living is expansive, with Blanco black granite double sink and Black Phoenix tapware. The appliances are high spec and integrated, including Fisher & Paykel oven, Bertazzoni gas cooktop, integrated Miele dishwasher, and plumbed Fisher & Paykel double door fridge. The butler’s pantry is built for a growing family in mind with huge shelf and storage spaces.
Upstairs is the private master retreat featuring large bedroom and plenty of natural light that can be shaded thanks to custom plantation shutters. Behind the dividing bedhead find floor-to-ceiling built in robes, as well as ensuite with rainforest shower head and heated towel rails for warm towels on chilly Melbourne mornings.
SEALS THE DEAL
The perfect family home with those luxury finishes and considerations that elevate this property from standard to standout. High ceilings, designer fixtures, bathed in natural light and garden outlooks from every room — this is the northside dream.
