Sitting pretty as a picture behind a white picket fence and sculpted cottage gardens, this freestanding Victorian home delivers a beautiful balance of old-world charm and contemporary comfort. Set amid a leafy streetscape with right-of-way access, the home is a tranquil sanctuary in leisurely surrounds, situated within an easy amble to Camberwell Junction’s indulgent eateries, shopping, and entertainment, Fritsch Holzer Park, trams and trains, and revered schools.

Welcomed by an idyllic lacework verandah, the home opens to a voluminous interior wrapped by 11-foot ceilings and an ornate Victorian archway. A modern extension indulges relaxation and dining in a bright and roomy open plan layout, stretching onto a sheltered deck and a garden patio for alfresco dining under the northern sun. Mingling with guests across a granite-topped island, the kitchen caters with Smeg cooking appliances and a dishwasher among substantial storage.

Offering the lavish dimensions of yesteryear, two robed bedrooms nurture private retreat beside cast-iron fireplaces, matched by two contemporary bathrooms including a private ensuite to the master bedroom. Finished with remote-controlled parking via the right-of-way, the home assures an idyllic lifestyle in the comforts of ducted heating and split system air-conditioning.
