942 Burke Road
Deepdene

Magnificently situated within a substantial 1,524 sqm approx. northeast allotment with tennis court, this gracious solid brick period residence’s former grandeur and elegance provides the perfect foundation for an inspired renovation. Alternatively, the expansive site advantaged by two crossovers and rear right of way is an ideal site for a new luxury home or boutique development (STCA).

Set well back from the street behind a circular drive, the sweeping double arched verandah introduces an imposing entrance foyer, elegant sitting room, a formal dining room and generous study all featuring timber floors, fireplaces, ornate ceilings and leadlight windows. The four double bedrooms are accompanied by two bathrooms. A large kitchen space without fittings and a scullery are adjacent to a family dining room with gas fire. The deep northeast garden features an unkempt north-south mod grass tennis court and beyond, a cabana or guest house and pool (not in use). Includes ducted heating, attic storage, under house store rooms, a double carport and garage.

Superbly situated close to Deepdene village, Burke Rd shops, Cotham and Burke Rd trams and numerous prestigious schools, this is a rare opportunity in a highly sought after location.
