Comprehensively rebuilt in an exclusive ‘Golden Mile’ setting, ‘Dudley’ is an extraordinary family residence, organised over three levels, that presents a perfect synthesis of its original circa 1920s California Bungalow heritage with the very finest of contemporary open and airy living. Proudly retaining all the soaring ceilings, leadlight windows and fine detail of its period, the home also offers: a sustainable six-star energy rating, a flexible four bedroom, four living room, three bathroom floor plan that is suited to multigenerational living, and a bold alfresco spirit to delight entertainers.

Rising grandly above its verdant tree-lined surrounds, the home opens to reveal a broad hallway with leadlight windows and premium Tallowood flooring that culminates in a vast open-plan and skylit rear that is warmed by a gas log fireplace – set in a marble mantle – and underpinned by a Dupont Corian topped gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry. Seamlessly, the open plan extends outdoors to a largely undercover deck where an alfresco dining area is serviced by an outdoor BBQ and warmed by outdoor heating for year-round enjoyment.

Large and growing families will appreciate a home cinema in the basement, a huge skylit top floor living room / retreat and a more formal lounge room with a rosed ceiling, bay window and electric fireplace. Meanwhile, a large bedroom with abundant built-in study space is set downstairs with its own bathroom and independent entry to suit in-laws, student accommodation or home office.

The master bedroom is impressively scaled with walk-in robes and an ensuite, whilst the second bedroom offers semi-ensuite access to the home’s main bathroom with a conveniently removed powder room. Further highlights of this meticulously created home include driveway parking for two vehicles, double glazing throughout, hydronic heating (servicing all 3 floors) split air conditioning (systems servicing ground and first floors) and a 7.5kw solar power system.

Zoned for the highly coveted trio of Camberwell High School, Canterbury Girls Secondary College and Balwyn Primary School, the home is also pivotal to an array of Melbourne’s most elite private schools and just a short walk from Maling Road’s café scene, Canterbury Gardens and Canterbury Railway Station.
