Sold17 Selbourne Road, Kew
Period splendour on a grand scale
Surrounded by a wealth of Melbourne's most illustrious private schools, "Macedon" is a breathtaking reflection of sublime Edwardian craftsmanship, seamlessly blended with contemporary appointments to create a truly unique and prestigious family residence on a substantial 1,338sqm approx. allotment.
Introduced by a magnificent reception hall adorned with leadlight door panels, soaring 14-foot ceilings crowned with pressed metal, a chandelier, textured wall panelling and tessellated tiles, the splendid period features continue as glossy Baltic Pine floors flow throughout the formal areas of the home, including a stunningly spacious lounge with bay window and fireplace, an equally impressive dining room, regal study and stately front bedroom serviced by an adjacent bathroom with clawfoot bath.
A further five bedrooms (one with private balcony) and two vogue bathrooms are found upstairs, along with access to a rooftop viewing platform revelling in a 360 degree vista incorporating the CBD and surrounds. Moving beyond a sumptuous library with gas log fire, the modern open living/meals space and high-end marble kitchen (with walk-through pantry to the formal dining room) all enjoy a broad view across the full-width, all-weather alfresco zone to a private leafy garden and sparkling heated pool surrounded by decking.
Featuring a fourth bathroom, additional study/sitting room, gas ducted heating, multiple split systems, security system and triple auto-door carport, secure this prized position just an easy stroll to two trams, acclaimed restaurants and boutique Glenferrie Road shopping.
