Edwardian grace and modern space amid Melbourne’s best schools

Sold by Annabelle Feng & Ted Jao of RT Edgar Boroondara

Standing proudly at the top of a prestigious cul-de-sac since 1914, this Edwardian home has evolved through the passage of time to become a beautiful blend of two eras. With every corner meticulously updated, the home retains its elegant infancy with 11-foot ceilings and ornate roses that soar high above gleaming Tasmanian Oak floors.

A most graceful entertainer, the home mingles crowds of family and friends beside a cast-iron gas fireplace in the formal lounge room, adjoining a spacious dining room to host large dinner parties beside a built-in spirits bar.

A casual open plan domain nurtures daily relaxation and family meals, extending onto a sheltered deck and northerly gardens for year-round alfresco dining beside a tranquil water fountain. The stone-topped kitchen matches function and form, offering a wide Falcon stove and a Miele dishwasher among endless storage including a walk-in pantry.

The accommodation places each room independently with ever-generous proportions, including two bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs, a central retreat provides space for the family to unwind in the glow of a gas fireplace, segregating two further bedrooms including a lavish master bedroom with wall-to-wall fitted robes and an ensuite.

Finished with a family bathroom, a guest powder room, a large laundry, plus a double garage with 15A power, the home cossets the family in the comforts of ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split system air-conditioning, a security alarm and CCTV, and a 5,000-litre water tank with greywater connection.

Set in a sought-after position for family living, the home is within a leisurely walk to Fritsch Holzer Park, Auburn Village and Auburn station, Camberwell Junction’s endless indulgences, and among an elite selection of Melbourne’s finest schools.
