A magnificent example of Art Moderne architecture, this captivating c1939 stucco rendered solid brick single level residence is a beautifully restored time capsule of the era. Advantaged by two street frontages and with no heritage overlay, the superb 531sqm allotment on the corner of Blencairn Avenue also offers significant scope as the site for a new boutique development (STCA).

A marble terrazzo verandah and decorative double glass doors introduce the wide entrance hall, glorious sitting room, generous living and elegant formal dining featuring polished timber floors, ornate ceiling and evocative curved glass windows. The pristine original separate kitchen updated with modern appliances opens to the private northeast garden with a gym/storeroom, 2nd laundry, 2nd toilet and tandem garage accessed from Blencairn Ave. The three spacious bedrooms are accompanied by a gorgeous original tiled bathroom with marble terrazzo floors.

Walking distance to Hawthorn Rd and Glen Eira shops and cafes, Caulfield Park, trams and schools, it includes alarm, ducted heating and Euro-laundry. A sensational opportunity whichever path is taken.
