Architecturally transformed with a visionary design that earned it the cover of Adore Magazine, this captivating freestanding Victorian is a spectacular expression of period beauty and contemporary brilliance, elevated on the northern side of one of the area’s most picturesque tree-lined streets. Shrouded in private landscaped gardens with abundant sunlight and off-street parking for two, every aspect has been thoughtfully considered for modern-day living and entertaining, moments from city-bound transport and Gardiners Creek.

The interiors immediately captivate, with sun-drenched proportions flowing through a double arched hallway to a breathtaking open-plan living and dining domain set beneath a series of towering architectural skylights. A gas fireplace encased in Venetian plaster is complemented by a substantial stone kitchen with Miele induction cooking, dual ovens and ZipTap, plus an extensive scullery and laundry beyond, ideal for hosting and family dining alike. Across the entire rear elevation, custom double-glazed steel-framed bi-fold doors open fully to the alfresco garden, extending the social domain outdoors against established pear trees, offering lush greenery through summer, sunlit warmth through winter and absolute privacy all year round.

Three bedrooms are equally impressive, including two with built-in robes, ornate fireplaces and high ceilings, while the main suite features a walk-in robe and private ensuite with chic marble herringbone flooring. Honed bluestone floors and a freestanding bath distinguish the central bathroom, while a fitted, concealed study nook and an additional living room/home office behind steel-framed glass doors add flexibility.

Appointed with CCTV and alarm systems, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and custom cabinetry throughout, this sensational lock-and-leave lifestyle retreat affords the best of low-maintenance luxury and amenity, mere moments from the Gardiners Creek walking and riding trails, Nettleton Park, Gardiner Station, Burke Road trams, Tooronga Village, Camberwell Junction, and leading schools.
