Gracing a magnificent garden allotment spanning approximately 960sqm of prime land on the Urquhart Estate, one of Melbourne's finest residential precincts - this gracious period residence has been held by the same family for the past thirty five years. Originally built in the 1920s it showcases the elegant period attributes typical of its era, including high decorative ceilings, leadlight and picture windows. The traditional front rooms have been renovated to a high standard whilst offering scope to undertake future updating and reconfiguring of the kitchen and informal living areas in keeping with today's family lifestyles and capitalising on a preferred northern rear aspect (STCA).

Introduced by a pathway with a canopy of ornamental trees, the interior features lovely garden vistas, wide oak floors flowing through a reception with double doors to a formal sitting room opening to the garden and a separate dining room, comfortable timber kitchen and informal dining and living rooms; leading to the rear garden gently shaded by mature trees and including a covered outdoor dining area and pergola. Complemented by four generous, zoned bedrooms, main with an ensuite and two pristine family bathrooms, a powder room and laundry. Other features include gasFPs heated polished concrete flooring (informal living), plus two carports and two OSP, with access from either the front or the rear R.O.W.

The highly regarded Urquhart Estate is renowned for its proximity to an array of exceptional local amenities including the nearby Auburn Village, the vibrant Glenferrie Road shops, cafes, restaurants, Lido Cinema and Recreation Centre, Swinburne University and parklands plus easy access to some of Melbourne's finest schools and the CBD via public transport or CityLink.
