Overview

This distinguished solid-brick residence, built circa 1918, is beautifully nestled behind a high-walled garden, offering enhanced privacy and a tranquil ambiance well set back from the street.

Rich period details like dark timber floors and high ornate ceilings blend seamlessly with contemporary living, crafting a home of both character and functionality. The grand entrance leads to generously proportioned formal areas featuring a bay-windowed sitting room and an elegant dining room with a marble fireplace, ideal for refined entertaining.

Sunlit by afternoon western light, the gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium Miele appliances and flows effortlessly into a spacious family living and dining zone, which opens onto a deep, private west-facing garden—perfect for relaxed outdoor gatherings or family play.

The ground floor thoughtfully houses a spacious main bedroom with a designer ensuite, complemented by a second double bedroom and a stylish bathroom with integrated Euro laundry facilities, offering convenience and comfort.

Upstairs, a dedicated children’s retreat comprises two additional bedrooms, one with striking views over the city, plus a spacious rumpus room and a modern bathroom, providing flexible living areas that cater to growing families or those seeking private spaces.

Set on a substantial 762 square metre allotment, this home not only offers an exceptional lifestyle but also presents potential for redevelopment to capitalize on the captivating city views, pending council approval (STCA).

Located conveniently close to Yarra River parklands, Kew Junction, accessible tram routes, and some of Melbourne's top private schools, it caters well to families seeking a prestigious and functional home environment. Additional practicalities include ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, a garage, and extra off-street parking.
