SOLD by Rachael Fabbro and Raphael Mgbadiefe of RT Edgar Boroondara. Absolutely enchanting in a prized period position, this superbly renovated double-fronted Victorian blends captivating originality with generously renovated modern proportions that include a large north-facing living and entertaining oasis, close to Glenferrie Road and leading private schools.

Beyond its magnificent verandah facade, a spacious single-level layout is as ideal for families as it is for those seeking to downsize without compromise in this quiet yet wonderfully convenient location, just meters from Riversdale Road shops and cafes.

Arranged around a wide arched hallway, a series of original rooms retain their classic high ceilings and charming period character before fabulous open plan areas expand out to occupy the entire width against the northern aspect. Here, a chic contemporary kitchen equipped with concrete benchtops, an integrated fridge/freezer, ILVE family-sized cooker, and endless drawer storage caters to any occasion that’s held in the large living and dining domain with gas fire, built-in storage and bi-fold doors that seamlessly integrate the entire space with an undercover deck gently elevated within the lush easy-care garden.

Three bedrooms include two with OFPs and excellent BIRs, the main with extensive BIRs/storage and a brand new double ensuite featuring walk-in shower. Further highlights include an updated family bathroom, powder room, ducted heating, split cooling, timber floors, plantation shutters, elegant etched glass windows, undercover garden storage and secure OSP via the side laneway.

A large attic with a ladder effectively sealed for dust-free storage inspires easy possibilities to add a second story if ever desired in the future (STCA). From this prized family position, stroll to local icon, Renaissance supermarket, cafes, and both Glenferrie and Riversdale Road trams, walk to Scotch College, St. Joseph’s, and Glenferrie Primary Schools with minutes to Glenferrie shopping and dining, Lido Cinema, leading private schools and the Monash Freeway.
