Serenely set well back from the street behind a high hedged landscaped garden, this utterly captivating solid brick 1920 residence’s grand proportions beautifully express a compelling blend of original elegance and contemporary designer style.

Beneath high ceilings, the gracious reception hall sets a refined tone that continues through the glorious sitting room with bay window and gas fire, elegant formal dining room with an open fire and an executive study with built in desks. Parquetry floors flow through the spectacular open plan living and dining areas and the lavish French inspired gourmet kitchen appointed with stone benches and Smeg appliances. Both the living area and an expansive rumpus/games room open to the picturesque northwest facing private landscaped garden with a gorgeous solar heated pool and spa. A large, covered terrace with an oversized remote sun-awning provides an idyllic venue for outdoor dining and entertaining. In its own wing upstairs, the opulently proportioned main bedroom with a retreat, extensive built in robes and a designer en suite is set apart from four additional king-sized bedrooms with robes and a stylish bathroom with separate powder-room.

Desirably positioned close to elite schools, Gardiner station, High St and Malvern Rd trams, shops and cafes, Central Park village and Monash freeway, it includes an alarm, hydronic heating, RC/air-conditioning upstairs, powder-room, laundry, irrigation, double garage and additional off-street parking. The significant land holding measuring approximately 989sqm (GRZ7 zoning) also provides possible redevelopment options for the future.
