Perfectly positioned in a sought-after leafy streetscape, with a proud period charm and all the exciting possibilities of a remarkable 523sqm (approx.) allotment, this attractively presented and semi-detached three bedroom, two bathroom, circa-1930s clinker brick classic is offered for the first time in nearly 40 years. Variously renovated, extended and destined to reward your vision, the home retains some rich hallmarks of its Art Deco origins before culminating in an open-plan alfresco rear and a deep backyard that invites relaxed family entertaining, while you ponder the tantalizing possibilities of further renovation or extension (STCA).

Cast under a vaulted skylit ceiling, the open-plan kitchen / dining / living is warmed by a gas log fireplace and proportioned for family entertaining with seamless flow to a large alfresco entertaining area where café-style side blinds and a ceiling fan ensure year-round enjoyment. The bedrooms are each generously scaled – the primary with a remarkable dressing room – plus there are two bathrooms, a lock-up garage, double carport and additional driveway parking, as well as a built-in BBQ and an eight-person spa that points towards a myriad of alfresco possibilities in this substantial backyard.

Just metres from Burke Road cafes, the popular Boccaccio Cellars and glorious parkland, the home is zoned for the coveted pairing of Deepdene Primary School and Kew High School, and wonderfully close to Kew’s prized private school precinct, with easy bus and tram access and proximity to both Kew and Camberwell Junctions
