42 Abbott Street
Sandringham

Love the first-class renovation, the central location and the beauty of this fine home in the heart of Sandringham. The transformation from Edwardian cottage to luxury family home is outstanding, creating three living and dining spaces, four bedrooms including a zoned parents' retreat, and a garden you'll love. Single-level spaciousness reveals a light-filled family room enhanced with a brick-surround gas fireplace, custom cabinetry and solid timber floors. Elegant lounge and dining rooms are feature-rich with a gas log fire, plantation shutters, and French doors. Timber and stone benches in the superb kitchen are sun-drenched thanks to atrium windows, Smeg cooktop and oven, and deck access through big sliding doors. The home also has central/ducted heating and cooling throughout. Sheri Haby Architects have created a parents' retreat with a sense of space and calm, featuring a window seat in the high-ceilinged bedroom, vertical-tiled ensuite with twin Duravit basins, and a dressing area with plenty of wardrobe and drawer storage. Quality features and finishes are on show in the family bathroom, including a Duravit bath and basins. The garden is a natural extension of this idyllic home, with the deck topped with a timber pergola and a lawned play space. Excellent location metres from Village shops, cafes and train station, the beach is at the end of the street, and a choice of schools are nearby.
