Originally built in 1934, this much loved Art Deco family residence graces a generous corner garden allotment and has been lived in by three generations of the same family over the past 80 years. The home is protected by a high walled front courtyard garden and surrounded by leafy shrubs and mature trees. Enviably positioned in the coveted Sackville Ward; arguably one of Boroondara’s most prestigious and sought-after areas underpinning its value and capital appreciation prospects.

With its original period attributes still intact the home is introduced by a rendered and clinker brick feature façade combined with a portico entrance with columns and a water feature; leading to the interior loaded with charm and warmth. Showcasing exquisite decorative ceilings, leadlight and cut glass windows and doors; all evoking memories of a bygone era. The generous proportions of the interior offers scope for future updating and renovating if desired (STCA). Featuring an entrance foyer opening to a formal sitting room and adjacent dining room, three bedrooms, two period-style family bathrooms plus a generous kitchen/meals equipped with Bosch appliances and a butler’s pantry leading to an informal living room, opening through French doors to the garden and outdoor dining and entertaining areas plus an external laundry. Other features include ducted heating, R/C air conditioners (formal living, main bedroom and informal living) rain water tanks, workshop and garden shed plus a double carport with access from Rowland Street.

The property is in a privileged position, within walking distance of some of Melbourne’s finest schools, moments from Glenferrie Road, Kew or Camberwell Junction shopping precincts, plus a choice of Cinemas, nearby parklands, the Outer Circle walking trails and public transport options - presenting a rare opportunity with future lifestyle benefits.
