Overview

This substantial character-filled home at 74 Leila Road in Carnegie combines generous living space with classic period charm, set upon an expansive 811sqm block with a wide 17.7m frontage and prized north-facing rear aspect. The blend of period features, such as high ceilings, decorative detailing, original fireplaces, and timber floorboards, offers a welcoming warmth and unique individuality that enhances everyday living.

The property's flexible layout includes four substantial bedrooms, two of which feature their own fireplaces, while the main bedroom benefits from an adjoining sunroom, providing a private retreat within the home. The separate kitchen and meals area encourage a functional division of space, complemented by an oversized storeroom offering additional adaptability to suit varying household needs.

Extending the living possibilities, a separate bungalow located at the rear provides valuable additional accommodation ideal for guests, older children, extended family members, or a secluded work-from-home environment. This space is thoughtfully separated from the main bedrooms, allowing for privacy and versatility as family requirements evolve.

The outdoor environment continues the theme of flexibility and comfort, with established garden surrounds offering plenty of room to relax or entertain. Off-street parking is ample with a double garage at the rear and a lengthy driveway complementing the 2 garage spaces. The home's solid floor area of 152sqm maximizes use while sitting on a generous land size providing future potential for either enhancement or redevelopment, subject to council approvals.

Located close to Packer Park and the vibrant amenities of Koornang Road, the home provides convenient access to popular cafés, restaurants, and shopping. Proximity to Carnegie Station and Chadstone Shopping Centre adds further convenience, with coveted zoning for McKinnon Primary School and Glen Eira College serving as an additional benefit for families seeking quality education options nearby.
