Overview
This Edwardian residence is grandly positioned on a substantial, approximately 1,231sqm north-facing corner allotment at 139 Cotham Road, Kew. Set well back from the street behind a broad veranda, the property exudes timeless elegance demonstrated in its solid brick construction and period craftsmanship.
At its heart lies an imposing octagonal reception hall featuring a striking domed ceiling and timber panelled walls that immediately capture attention and elevate the home’s character. The living spaces celebrate the era with leadlight windows, timber floors and exquisite detailing showcased within the gracious sitting room complete with a fireplace, an elegant lounge, and a generous family living room warmed by a gas log fire.
The sunlit dining area and gourmet kitchen, fitted with stone benchtops and a premium 90cm Belling oven, open seamlessly onto a deep, private north-facing garden, ideal for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. Practicality is well catered for with a double carport providing direct access from the side street, Ermington Place.
Downstairs offers a tranquil retreat with a spacious main bedroom accompanied by a dressing room or home office and a stylish ensuite. The residence is further complemented by three additional king-size bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering flexibility for family living. Additional conveniences include ducted heating, reverse cycle air-conditioning, laundry facilities, and ample storage.
Beyond its current presentation, the property invites potential for further renovation, extension, or subdivision—including a rear fenced block with a subdivision permit and plans for a single dwelling—making it a compelling opportunity in a highly sought-after locale close to Kew Junction, tram routes on Cotham and Glenferrie Roads, dining spots, and esteemed schools (STCA).
