26 Canterbury Road
Camberwell

A rare and distinguished offering in one of Camberwell’s most tightly held tree-lined pockets, this exquisite 1938 clinker brick classic is an icon of Canterbury Road, capturing all the enduring romance of the Art Deco era, while presenting remarkable flexibility and future promise on a magnificent allotment of 735 square metres (approx.) with potential rear car access (STCA). Originally crafted as a pair of pre-war apartments, the home presents four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an opportunity to rejuvenate or extend at your leisure (all STCA).

Beyond its regal façade, the home opens to reveal rich soaring ceilings, leadlight windows, solid timber accents and decorative Art Deco cabinetry, as an extravagantly proportioned lounge room and formal dining proudly highlight original open fireplaces and rich timber cabinetry. Culminating in a light-filled open-plan rear where the warmth of a hardwood floor is complemented by the solid timber cabinetry of a well-designed kitchen with Neff oven, while the connection to paved outdoor living and an opportunity-filled backyard is seamless.

A quartet of generously scaled bedrooms are each positioned upstairs and appointed with built-in robe storage – most notably, the primary bedroom that also offers access to a fully-tiled modern ensuite – whilst further highlights include a lock-up garage with driveway parking for another five vehicles and a super convenient turning circle, plus there is a downstairs bathroom, a laundry and ducted heating.

This is an esteemed position just moments from local cafes and Burke Road trams for easy access to the dining, shopping and city-bound trains at Camberwell Junction, all within the catchment for both Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College while offering proximity to elite private schooling options.
