A generational offering within the tightly-held Golf Links Estate, this masterfully renovated, four-to-five bedroom, three bathroom family entertainer delivers a magnificent synthesis of 1920s romance and an elegant contemporary open-plan that culminates in poolside entertaining. Proudly retained Spanish Mission and Art Deco influences have been respectfully infused with a bold contemporary twist to present a current day classic in one of eastern Melbourne’s most coveted locales.

Unfolding with grace and generosity, the home flows to a vast open-plan rear that is anchored by a European-equipped marble kitchen appointed with a built-in bar that promises to be well-used, and two expansive sets of concertina doors fold back to invite guests out to a remarkable entertainers’ oasis. Set undercover with wind shades, sun shades, outdoor heating and a full outdoor kitchen – as well as outdoor speakers to complement the open-plan’s built-in speakers – the indoor-outdoor transition is seamless and crafted to overlook the private, garden-surrounded joy of the in-ground swimming pool, complete with retractable cover.

Zoned brilliantly to adapt to the needs of growing families, the home also features a formal dining room and semi-attached lounge – with a gas-converted fireplace – all enriched by the heritage of the home’s original era. Upstairs, a luxe, eight-seat home cinema offers next level movie nights, backed by a kitchenette to add another dimension to your home entertaining experience.

The primary bedroom is a delightful parental indulgence with walk-through robe-access to a (spa bath) ensuite with ambient sub-floor heating and further connection to the backyard, whilst the remaining bedrooms have been appointed with large custom-built-in robes and the home office is bedroom-sized with a fold-away bed to serve as a guest bedroom or fifth bedroom, if needed.

Additional highlights include a functional lock-up garage that can serve as a gym or rumpus room, driveway parking for at least six vehicles, a huge amount of attic storage that utilises the upstairs roofline and updated ducted heating and air conditioning, as well as an under-stair wine cellar and 3 phase power for EV charging.

Zoned for the coveted trio of Camberwell Primary School, Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College, the home is also pivotal to most leading private schools, whilst multiple tram routes and trains from Willison Railway station are hugely convenient, plus you have Willison Park, Frog Hollow Reserve and the convenience of Camberwell Junction all nearby.
