Overview

Edwardian Soul. Family Scale. Bentleigh, Elevated.

Some homes imitate a period.Others capture its essence.Behind a classic red brick fence and manicured hedging, this Edwardian-style residence delivers the craftsmanship, symmetry and detail of a bygone era, without sacrificing the scale and functionality modern families expect.Ornate fretwork. Ceiling roses. Leadlight glass. Polished timber underfoot.Every element has been considered, not just styled.A return verandah and tessellated entry set the tone. Inside, two refined front rooms create flexibility for living, hosting or retreat. A formal lounge anchored by a mahogany mantle and open fireplace. A separate sitting room framed by garden outlooks and its own period detail. Both spaces defined by height, proportion and architectural intent.The ground floor master suite is exactly where it should be. Private. Spacious. Complete with walk-in robe, full ensuite and French doors that open softly to the front garden.Then the home shifts.At the rear, it opens into a space designed for real life.A stone kitchen with Falcon Toledo cooker, subway tile splashback and leadlight cabinetry sits at the centre.
