209 Auburn Road
Hawthorn

An exquisite example of what made Melbourne marvelous in the 1880s, this renovated and extended, solid brick, Victorian double-story terrace home merges its resplendent original heritage with a more open and airy contemporary rear, in the thriving heart of Hawthorn and just moments from Auburn Village. Blessed with all the natural light of its exceedingly rare corner allotment with a broad northern exposure, this three bedroom home has been tastefully brought into the 21st Century and is ready to be enjoyed.

Set under soaring and richly detailed ceilings, with leadlight windows and original Baltic Pine flooring, the home flows through a traditional arched hallway to an open-plan kitchen / meals / living that is bathed in brilliant northern light. Both the formal lounge and the dining room are particularly ambient and warmed by marble fireplaces, whilst there are another three fireplaces, two generously-sized built-in robes and a pair of tastefully renovated bathrooms with classically-inspired black-and-white design ethics and separate powder rooms. Further highlights include a Smeg oven / cooktop, a heritage-tiled front veranda, solid timber front door, side pedestrian access, split system heating and air conditioning, as well as the potential to create rear car access (STCA).

Walk easily to all the cafes, bars, dining and charm of Auburn Village, as well as cosmopolitan dining all along Burwood Road, plenty of shopping on Glenferrie Road and easy access to Camberwell Junction, plus you have multiple tram routes and trains from Auburn Railway Station for effortless city-commuting.
