Camberwell

A grandly proportioned and evocative slice of inter-war history, this utterly charming, solid brick, four bedroom residence is beautifully preserved. Steeped in the traditions of yesteryear while brimming with the possibilities of tomorrow, the home is set on a grandly elevated allotment of 837 square metre (approx.) in the zone for Camberwell Primary, Camberwell High and Canterbury Girls Secondary College, it is also within easy access to a terrific selection of elite schools.

Perfectly preserved under soaring ceilings of fine detail, with solid timber doors, architraves and wall paneling, as well as leadlight windows, the home's rich ambiance is highlighted in a traditional entrance hall, lounge and dining - with original fireplaces - as it gives way to a modern kitchen and a second living room with an original fireplace providing a quiet and cozy retreat. The bedrooms are each generously scaled - three freshly carpeted and set upstairs - whilst the bathroom has been updated with a contemporary design ethic.

Additional highlights of this exquisite residence include ducted heating and a rear garage / workshop or possible studio. Overall, this classically handsome family home is in excellent order with obvious potential for a 21st century makeover (STCA). Whatever direction you choose for this grand family classic, the future is rewarding within easy reach of Camberwell Junction's vibrant cafe scene, cosmopolitan dining, shopping, cinemas, abundant transport options and vast expanses of parkland.
