32 Hastings Road, Hawthorn EastVIC

Honouring its rich history while simultaneously delivering a bold, cutting-edge renovation and extension, award-winning heritage architects Lovell Chen were commissioned to redesign this sophisticated 3/ 4 bedroom family home.
On a very quiet and wide tree-lined street, the brief was to maintain the Victorian facade in line with the streetscape, resulting in the stunning extension lined in black Japan stained Merbauremaining almost invisible from the street.
A flawless transition from old to new, the timelessly elegant aesthetic flows from the entry hall with its soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling rose and crystal chandelier, through the generous front lounge room and along Brush Box timber floors into the open-plan living and dining area.
Warm, inviting and easy to live in, this substantial space enjoys an open fireplace with floating polished concrete hearth and a stacked sandstone surround, as well as large bi-fold doors and windows designed to seamlessly join the alfresco deck and private garden. At night, the home and gardens are awash in the ambiance created by abundant external lighting.
Extensive cabinetry to the ceiling, a 7 metre long stone bench plus large island bench make the designer kitchen an absolute dream to cook and entertain in.
The master bedroom will delight with elegant sash windows, marble open fireplace, and a crystal chandelier, leading to the walk-in robe with floor-to ceiling cabinetry and an ensuite featuring European tapware, double walk-through shower and under-floor heating. A study or bedroom with Victorian Ash built-in bookcase accompanies the 2 upstairs double bedrooms, sparkling bathroom and powder room.
Lavishly appointed throughout with a large cellar, hydronic heating, air-conditioning, C-bus home automation system, ducted vacuum, security, water tanks with auto irrigation, and 4/5 car garage with workshop and rear ROW access.
Perfectly located just a short stroll from Camberwell's thriving shopping precinct with restaurants, cafes and Rivoli cinema, as well as Auburn South Primary School, Scotch College, Bialik College, tram and train.
