Perfectly positioned on the ground floor of a solid brick Art Deco duplex, this beautifully enhanced two-bedroom apartment seamlessly blends timeless 1930s character with modern comforts. Nestled adjacent to Harrison Reserve and directly across from the expansive parklands of Hays Paddock, this unique property offers a rare indoor-outdoor lifestyle complete with an extraordinary, fully established fruiting garden.

Stepping through the lockable front security door, a tessellated tiled entrance with an ornate border welcomes you into a central hallway. Original period features shine throughout, including solid timber flooring, double-hung windows, decorative cornices, and striking original stained wooden doors. The separate lounge and dining rooms are illuminated by two rare, original 1930s English brass pendant lamps, while a large open fireplace provides a warm focal point for winter evenings. Comfort is guaranteed year-round with a programmable Baxi hydronic heating system servicing every room, complemented by smart automated roller blinds on all windows.

The sleek, upgraded modern kitchen is a chef’s delight, boasting a freestanding Italian gas stove, LED under-bench lighting, a built-in dishwasher, a plumbed water fridge connection, and abundant storage. Both bedrooms feature large built-in cupboards, with the master bedroom enjoying peaceful views over the front garden. They are serviced by a central tiled bathroom with a heated towel rail and a separate powder room. Practical storage is well-considered, with both linen and coat closets off the hallway. Transition effortlessly outdoors via the study/sunroom’s sliding glass doors to a private, high-fenced decked courtyard. This outdoor sanctuary features an upgraded laundry, a dedicated firewood storage area, and a secure lockable gate.

The property’s crown jewel is its magnificent garden, meticulously curated and planted out over the last 20 years. This lush oasis features a stunning Pierre de Ronsard standard rose, vibrant hydrangeas, and an incredible edible landscape.

Additional features include a carport space, a premium 7kW EV charger, a recently upgraded concreted shared driveway, a security video doorbell, and an automated watering system to keep the gardens thriving. Positioned in an elite East Kew pocket, the home offers unparalleled connectivity. A bus stop is just 10 metres from your door, and the High Street tram line to the City is only a short walk away. Families will appreciate being zoned for Kew High School, while daily shopping is effortless with Coles Supermarket just 450 metres away. An exceptional opportunity for first-home buyers, downsizers, or astute investors seeking a character-rich home with rare garden space in an unbeatable location steps from Harrison Reserve and Hays Paddock.
