Glorious Period Charm and Architect Luxury in the Revered Dunstan Estate
Nestled at the end of a prestigious Dunstan Estate cul-de-sac on an impressive 812sqm (approx) allotment, this magnificent c1936 solid brick Arts and Crafts residence's beautifully designed interior dimensions are more than matched by an entirely private garden and a double frontage to Butchers Lane.
Displaying stunning period charm yet utterly captivating inside with an exquisite light-filled revival by Leon Moulton Architecture, this grand period residence, once featured in Melbourne Living Magazine (2004), offers an undeniable country-inspired lifestyle in a thriving city-edge location. Entry through the grand foyer sets the tone for the stylish interiors ahead, leading to a spacious, versatile formal sitting room and an elegant dining room, each with gas fireplaces and a well-appointed kitchen with a suite of Miele appliances and stone benchtops.
Captivating natural light spills inside via the double-height windows within the open sunroom, allowing the home to flow seamlessly to the entertainer's terrace with a continuation of travertine flooring, creating a beautiful setting for alfresco enjoyment overlooking the rolling lawns and manicured gardens. The second level enhances the sense of space with two magnificently-sized bedrooms and a home office, including the oversized king main with elevated treetop vistas, fitted robes and a travertine-adorned dual access ensuite bathroom. Extensive custom joinery creates a subtle artistic statement throughout the home, enriching the practical nature of the design, shown within the two bathrooms and large laundry room.
Positioned within a short walk to the open spaces of JL Murphy Reserve, the light rail and just a short distance from Bay Street's shopping and dining options, the home is further complemented by reverse cycle AC, a pull-down attic, garden irrigation to the vegetable beds, a water tank, a heat pump hot water system, water bore and pump, double glazing throughout, a double garage with a workshop, a third full bathroom and a further secure parking bay.
